Derby Sack Manager, Rotherham Gaffer favourite....

Quoted from Poojah

Some rumblings that assistant Richie Barker may remain as interim boss to have a crack at a permanent opportunity, rather than following Warne to Derby. That could mean the saga drags on for some time.

Let's hope he does well!

Quoted from Poojah

Talksport EFL correspondent reporting that Warne is to be announced at Derby “imminently”. At least there should be some certainty on that aspect sooner rather than later.

I'd like Grovesy to be given another chance but might be a bit risky to some.  I'd prefer PH to stay though.

Hasn't he recently been sacked by Gloucester? not done great at all.

I hope PH sees the long-term project and stays, and i think we might well have a chance of that happening!

I've been thinking about this a fair bit this morning...
Would Hurst want the gig?...
Yes, he did well at the shrews yet the fan base never took to him, he failed at Ipswich and Scunny, again never got the fan base onside.
Came back here, to a fan base that held the "ear cupping" against him, managed to turn what can only be described a floundering oil tanker around and got the love of the fans back...
Would he risk going to Rotherham, where he's got legendary status, to see himself potentially fall flat on his face, see his stock as a manger fall through the floor and his adoration of the fans vanish?....
It's all about opinions but right now, I'm not sure he'd be interested.

The rumour mill says Gareth Ainsworth to Millers.

That would be a good appointment for them as he’s a good manager and a top bloke, it would be an absolutely brilliant appointment for us as it closes off the vacancy with someone who has a reputation for stability & longevity.

Lots of really good posts above. Clearly Rotherham is in Paul’s heart and from the outside it looks like a decent club with good ownership. If the opportunity came his way then I’d be in the camp if wishing him all the best and thanks for putting us in better shape on and off the field, managers and players move around that’s how football works.

Some things for me ….

- He is invested in GTFC, maybe not to the level of Rotherham but I guess to a level that would mean a move would be well thought out, as ever.

- He is 100% backed and left alone to get on with it by JS/AP and DC.

- Also we had a really bad run last season and lesser owners (as we’ve seen down the M180) would have pulled the trigger, Hurst strikes me as someone who does not forget loyalty and the importance of unity.

- What can he realistically achieve at Rotherham? In theory they “could” get up into the Prem but it’s more likely any manager would spend more time looking at what’s going on below them in the table rather than above.

- What could he achieve at Town? League 1 is possible and quite quickly, going higher may take some building but he’d be the one building it, his way from bottom up.

- I’d be amazed if he’d work with Scott again in any capacity, so if he did go shouty would need to get his CV out there quickly.

- The final thing is why the f**k would the manager of Rotherham leave to go to Derby, sodomist club on paper but one that has been a basket case for years.

Like I say when PH leaves Town as he inevitably will I’ll wish him luck

Oh yeah one final thing, when we do require a new manager I’d be 100% confident that our owners would bring in the best they could, unlike previous “custodians” as they know you get what you pay for and they’ll be savvy enough to do their homework & due diligence.

I don’t want to see a change but this club is in the safest hands it’s been in this millennium to manage a change if it was required.

Rotherham fan with zero #ITK credentials reckons Hurst doesn't want it. Good enough for me.

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

I do think we have a different view of PH than the outside world does. We absolutely see his value as we know all of the context around what he has done here. Outsiders do not have that context and as such will in all likelihood be put off from an approach just yet. I’d say that this time round it’s too soon for Rotherham to take a punt, then next time they change their manager it could we’ll be a different story and they’d come knocking. Thing is though then, where might our respective clubs be sitting in the food chain?

Sensible post this, not all clubs have Town levels of romamtasism about former players . He left Rotherham 14 years ago.

That would be quite something if so.
