GrahamC Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Probably (along with MK) the smallest club in the division. They must have someone in mind, though the Charlton home defeat probably did for him, rather than Saturday's loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Mark Cooper and Cotts early favs. Pembo 4th Fav at 12s.. Mark Robins would be my guess, did well there last time. http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/rotherham/next-permanent-manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton_fan Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 They're panicking even more than we did last time we were in the Championship, would have done better to stick with Redfearn. Why don't their Board realise their main problem is a lack of cash, they've just wasted some more by sacking the manager? Not sure the club is big enough for Cotts to be interested. Pembo would be mad to go there for his first appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Don't see why anyone would want that job to be honest. All clubs have ambitions but the likelihood of Rotherham reaching a sustainable level above where they are at the moment seems pretty slim.

Rudolf Hucker Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I agree with @Tomarse when he suggests that Mark Robins would be their standout candidate (a bit of Ashtonese for you there) having had successful spells there previously as a player, assistant manager and manager. Left them in 2009 to join (ahem) Barnsley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is we were one of the bigger fish in the division were in and struggling. A number of our players were better than they were showing and Cotts brought that out of them. Rotherham are punching above their weight in the Championship and, whilst there might be managers who could narrowly keep them up, I don't think there's much more than to be brought out of the current squad. Whoever is in charge they're looking at narrow survival at best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'd be interested in a managerial role in the right circumstances but I also get the impression his relationship with the board and the club is more than decent and he'd only want to go for the right opportunity. Not sure Rotherham'd be it. I also suspect Rotherham might want to get someone with experience. Robins or Cotterill seem far more likely choices. I imagine Cotts would jump at the chance to try and prove us wrong too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - JP gets the job , WE made temp asst , JP plays U18s for rest of season as Rotherham fail to collect another point , is promptly sacked , only to be reappointed as first team coach on a 4 yr contract at ......

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Regards Pemberton. Kinda like temping or standing in really...he is still contracted here, for a little while he was the main man but he surely knew it may well be a temp arrangement. Is the way the economy etc is going and though I could see why he would want to prove himself elsewhere, if you're a temp you're in a position as long as you are required so hopefully he'll stay here as assistant.
