Agree with all the above about the security of his job, the positivity around what he’s doing here and the very sound place he appears to be in mentally.
However, IF and it’s still remains a big if, Rotherham came for him I don’t see a scenario where he wouldn’t go. The top job at a club where he is already a legend, 10 mins from his house, a 4-6x multiplier of his salary on a long-term contract, and a small but not completely unrealistic chance of getting to the Premier League. If he’s not already, he’d be set for life.
If Rotherham want him, he’ll go, along with Doig and probably the rest of the back room team (as just happened to Brighton, and is now happening to Rotherham). I would be absolutely gutted in that scenario, but I couldn’t begrudge him in the slightest.

Doig has said he wants a go at management. If PH left, he may try for the manager's job himself. |

This, and I’m now officially worried. |

Doig is certainly the most vocal of our management team during games  |

Quiet so, but it's Hurst that makes the decisions. |

This is all very depressing, so how about an alternative to Hurst - Scott Parker? Any other suggestions who The Millers might show an interest in, anybody but Hurst. |

IF Rotherham came calling IMO he would be mad not to seriously consider it - still lives in the area so no more commuting, at a club he is vastly respected at and which is currently mid table 2 leagues higher than us, decent ground and presumably would be on considerably more money than here.
Hopefully though the fact that Rotherham would have to pay us compo, would be enough to make them look elsewhere and maybe his Ipswich problems would also have an effect on their decision.
There is alot to happen before we have to worry though.
