Derby Sack Manager, Rotherham Gaffer favourite....

Quoted from ginnywings

You want Ardley, but don't know his correct name.  

It's amusing really, as 9 months ago, most Town fans would have gladly shown Hurst where the exit is.

Funny old game.

I do apologise Mr beetroot sandwich eater

And many boards at many clubs should have done so too. Had we done that, is it an exaggeration to suggest his career in management might have been over?

Funny old game as you say, and frighteningly fine margins at times.

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

If that is a put down, I have no idea what it means.

I like beetroot, but never tried it in a sandwich.

Beautiful with cheese.

Really hope I’m wrong but the feeling I’m getting about all this isn’t a good one.

I think:

Hurst will apply surely…and you couldn’t possibly blame him. I just think that Rotherham will want a bigger name to signal their intent and that Hurst’s stats won’t be as good as other people’s (in some regard anyway). His best chance would be if there was strong supporter backing for him but I think we might just get away with it.

Paul Hurst would not get the Sheffield Wednesday job for the foreseeable future in my opinion.

I don’t know anything about the owners of Rotherham - if they’re locally linked rich Rotherham fans or a faceless business sporting consortium or a sheik with ‘cash on the hip’. I can’t be arsed researching that, but if Hurst means nothing to the owners, and there wasn’t a fan clamour for him, I think it makes it seem unlikely, personally, and we can then ‘relax’.
I don’t want to lose him and what’s happening here. This is the best we’ve been, top to bottom, for many years.

And….strong word from my Cambridge Utd supporting mate that Bonner is Yorkshire-bound.

You'll be right . You always were

Quoted from It Bites

Yes, but you were always wrong, so if you think he’s right then does that mean he’s probably wrong?

Presumably Rotherham will have shed loads of compensation from Derby so can buy whoever they want……

Tony Stewart is the owner; local boy done very well for himself (like 9-figure wealth well). Took over the club after they were forced out of Millmoor and was the main man for delivering their cracking new stadium in double quick time.

Understandably he’s pretty well regarded by Rotherham fans I think. Not the faceless Middle Eastern consortium you were possibly hoping for, but knocking on a bit (well into his 70s) so it’s not impossible there might be a changing of the guard soon.
