Derby Sack Manager, Rotherham Gaffer favourite....

All I'm saying is if you had a choice of any managers for a championship side and Paul Hurst from league 2 or a Sean Dyche, former Burnley in the premiership was the choices, what would you choose.
I get that Hurst is linked for sentimental reasons but I can't see it so wouldn't panick at this stage

And if you didn’t?

Sounded to me that the Rotherham Chairman/Owner was talking about appointing someone who has recently retired or currently employed as say an Academy Manager at a Premiership club bit like Ipswich have done and Blackpool did with Neil Critchley who has subsequently moved on to Villa. Or, someone like Carrick or Duncan Ferguson echo have been Assistant Managers but now want to be in charge.

His CV requirements didn’t give me any leanings that he would be currently looking for Hursty’s mobile number so let’s just look forward to the next two home matches.

Good communicator

Young

Not had many jobs

Do they have Michael Jolleys number

Quoted from Poojah

Only Simon Weaver at Harrogate has been there longer. Nothing to do with his dad owning the club or anything*.

*He’s done a decent job to be fair.

Simon Weaver has actually managed Harrogate longer than his dad has been involved.

Mark Bonner’s odds have shortened considerably and is the 3/1 favourite on some platforms. Not sure if that’s in response to the Rotherham chairman’s comments or if there’s anything more to it, but he’s come from relatively low down in the pack very suddenly.

That's what happened with Hursty's odds. Lazy links I think

Right then, time for some perspective, put aside the long career at Rovrum for a moment.  PH is still relatively young in football managerial terms, he will have ambitions on managing at a higher level despite getting his fingers burnt last time he went on an upwards spiral.  But think about his journey, what looks better on his CV, successive promotions with one club (you’d better believe it can happen), or taking over at a club that’s already above its natural level?  Realistically, where could he take Rotherham if he went there?

An extra grand a week to you and I might seem like the forbidden land, but what could he earn at a genuine top end championship club, probably at least treble.  I like Paul, I liked him first time round despite the naive ear cupping, this time he’s matured and so much more relaxed.  Of course he’ll leave one day, but that day isn’t now, he just needs the club to match his expectations and ambition for the next year or so.  We benefit and hopefully become a Rotherham and Paul’s stock rises so he gets a Derby or West Brom type club.  We all win.

I get the feeling that the new owners are putting everything in place so that who ever is manager has to work in that framework, a bit like Watford , Norwich etc . I would seriously guess if and when PH does move on that Doig will take over
