Alan Stubbs has left Rotherham
-
He's not had a good start so it's understandable in many ways. What is concerning for them is their inability to keep a manager. Suggests that actually they either can't appoint the right one or can't accept just how tough staying in that league is for a club that size.
-
Shame he would've taken them down
-
No messing around at rotherham.
-
I think fatty Evans will be on his way back.I thought he was sucking up for the job on last weeks radio dee dah commentry.
The chairman was a personal friend of his, the fans are great, what a wonderful stadium,relegation can be overcome,every soundbite the slimy t*** could come out with without getting his knees dirty.
-
Fatty Evans will definitely be back there cap in hand, the snivelling, creeping arsehole.
-
Evans 3/1 for next Millers manager on SkyBet

-
He'd be the natural choice but wasn't there a lot of nasty things said on both sides when he left last time?
-
I foresaw this with Rothrum. Tony Stewarts hearts in the right place but he simply does not have enough money. Similarities to us really. Destination championship, but then what?
-
Don't care who's manager as long as they come down this season, can't stand the f**kers.
-
You've got to do it in the first couple of seasons after you go up from League One. Otherwise your good players move on and it costs you too much to replace with similar quality.
Sound familiar?
-
Rob Staton reckons Kenny Jackett to Rotherham is a done deal.
-
betting's closed too.
skysports reporting Jackett's in advanced talks:

The former Rover John Doolan was part of Stubbs' backroom team and has also got the chop.

It was a different John Doolan. Ours coaches in the academy at Everton.
-
Sorry, I thought it was ours and he'd gone with Stubbs as a result of their Everton connection.
-
Both John doolans were coaching at Everton at the same time. I bet that made the brew list confusing!
-
Rotherham have replaced Alan Stubbs with Kenny Jackett, a good replacement for them
-
Jackett Required!
-
Apparently he sets his teams up with an emphasis on physicality at the expense of creativity. In other words he's a bit of a Donkey Jackett.
-
Jackett in please BB
-
Pancho,
Rotherham's survival will be more achievable, and affordable, if more emphasis is put on their physical game rather than attempting to make them more creative.
I was merely pointing out that the position will suit Jackett.
-
Apparently he was offered the job last night over dinner, Jackett.
-

... AND very noisy when they each were singing "One John Doolan" at the top of their voices whilst pointing to themselves !
-
He reckons a big part of their league position is down to their off-field lifestyle. He's going to ban smoking, Jackett.
-
It won't go down well with the players if he does. He'd better get ready for a lot of flak, Jacket.
-
Jacket in !
That's a fact not a suggestion !
-
He was very lucky to get to the interview. His car broke down with a puncture. He ended up having to jack it, jackett.
-
As long as he doesn't start throwing his weight about too much with the players, one or two of them are hard cases and will leather Jackett.
-
Apparently Rotherham are in so much relegation trouble, all their players have been told to roll up their sleeves and get ready for combat, Jackett
-
I hope Tony Stewart keeps his promise and pays the salary he's promised, given half the chance he'll fleece Jackett.
-
With the Rotherham fans he will surely need a Full Metal Jacket
-
If he keeps em up the fans will greet him with Hi King Jackett
-
Let's hope the stadium doesn't catch fire cos the Jackett will turn into a Blazer
-
Enough, Jackett in!
-
to quote ken platt
"he won't take his coat off , he won't be stopping" jackett

''No Jackett required according to Phil Collins'' ;). Stubbs i think most could see it wouldn't work out for him from the start. They needed to retain Warnock but couldn't. As it is Jackett has good championship experience so should do alright for them.
Warnock whether you like him or not, to keep them up last season was as near to a miracle as you will get in football. To stay in that league with little money you need to be almost perfect in signing players onto extended deals and recruiting has to be spot on!.
If you remember our time in the league as each season went along we got weaker. We sold players on and didn't replace them with the same quality.
We were heavily reliant on Billy Sharp who just couldn't stay fit, as was the same with most of our squads over the seasons.
Unless he can get some good free transfers in and a few bargains when the transfer window opens, then they have a slight chance. By the time the window opens though the gap could have got bigger.
Then you need promotion form just to stay up. Poor sides don't usually avoid relegation two seasons on the trot. I hope they stay up being a Yorkshire side but i think Jackett has some job on to achieve it!.
-
And another two bite the dust:
Gary Caldwell of Wigan Athletic and Walter Zenga of Wolves
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football
-
Surprised about Caldwell. He got them up last season and I thought he was chummy with the chairman.
Gary McSheffrey on Twitter reckons Karl Robinson is lined up for that job. We'll see.
-
the Birmingham manager will be gone soon - that loss to Burton is the start of the end for him with the takeover we have yet another club with a divine right to promotion
meanwhile Ipswich fans are desperate to do a Charlton (get rid of the manager and get relegated) they live on "charity shop signings" and can look forward to the lower echelons the decline could be very quick
-
One of the best managers outside the Prem Rowett.
-
He is. Although Birmingham City have a decent sized fanbase they are far from flush with money.
If they are daft enough to sack Rowett, he won't be out of work long.
-
Most people working in the Vatican think the Pope's a bit of a prat... Or so I'm told. ;)

If they beat that noisy lot from just down the road this weekend, and convincingly, Gary Rowett will become as popular amongst Blues fans as the Pope is in the Vatican.
well it took 7 weeks to find a "chink" in the manager's armour - people with "no football knowledge" who didn't realise brum brum were over achieving as for the present QPR manager "sheer lunacy" think he needs some of that superglue that's holding rovers in 3rd position
-
Pure stupidity to let a manager of Rowett's talent go. He has done a really good job for them.
