It's a tough gig up there me reckons - they just haven't got the resources or the fan base to compete at this level, plus there must be an added element of pressure seeing how well Luton and Bournemouth have done in recent years given they are clubs of similar stature. They've done well to be competitive at this level - apart from us and Watford the other day, they generally only tend to lose by the odd goal, and they do pick up results here and there too to give them at least a fighting chance of staying up. Odds on Warnock fancying a final hurrah to try and keep them up? Or do they go down the continental route, picking up a young head coach style appointment and look more long term, implementing a style of play and identity? |

Impossible job. Sell your best players, don't invest and expect to prosper.

South Yorkshire clubs really struggling this season.
Rotherham do well to even get in the Championship. Their fans seem to think a change of manager wont make much difference to their plight.

Without meaning to be condescending , as others have said it’s a tough ask
Not helped this season by both Sheffield clubs winning promotion .. any previously disenfranchised or casual supporters they pick up for a game or two from the Sheff U / Wed ranks will likely opt for either the Prem game or give them a swerve as in the same division when rivalry & loyalty bites harder
Not dissimilar to how small numbers in our ranks would view picking up a Vale or Crewe game if we were a ) in the prem or b ) in the same division

Both Sheffield clubs were lucky to go up - I thought Sheff Utd were crap, Wednesday went up despite collapsing and fluked both the semi final and play off final and then got rid of their manager |

Not a massive surprise.
I think it is two wins from 16 games this season?
Taylor did well to keep them up last year, but they have been well off the pace so far despite spending money in the summer.
It will be interesting to see who they can attract!

Rotherham fans I have spoken with, a bit like those at Peterborough, see their club as a yo-yo from League 1 to Champ and back, and would, I feel, be quite forgiving of their manager as they appreciate the restrictions he works under. Seems the Board are maybe not so generous

The job Neil Warnock did to keep them up the last time he was there is arguably the best job he's ever done in football and he's pulled out a few miracles in his time. Him going back there wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Bet he'll keep them up as well if he does return. |

Yeah, think the chairman made out he wanted his wages tripling or something like that He was told he wouldn't be given any budget to bring in new players and I think that set off alarm bells, I think he knew they would struggle. Then their dodgy chairman made out it was his personal demands. |

They will de definitely calling Warnock. |

Their squad looks weak & uncompetitive but getting the right man in is all that’s needed. As Forrest, Newcastle & Boro have proved in recent years.
