Millers 'spoiled for choice' over new manager

ROTHERHAM United's search for a replacement for Neil Warnock is in full swing, with Tony Stewart looking for a man to lead the team up the Championship.

And he says: “We could be spoiled for choice.”

The chairman expects to have up to 50 applications on his table by today, with more sure to follow next week.

Mr Stewart told the Advertiser: “I’ve had texts and phone calls from some household names. It’s early days but we will be spoiled for choice. We're expecting big interest and we're looking for a person with spirit and drive and experience."

After seeing the Millers finish fourth bottom for the last two seasons, the chairman wants progress next term and despite the recent uncertainty over Warnock's position, he said some preparation work had already been done. The retained list is expected to be released later today or tomorrow.
