Hope he does a really good job for them especially against Hull, Burnley, Middlesbrough, Wednesday 
and Derby.

BG called it first (on here) in fairness - a couple of days ago.

Just quicker to pick up on a bit of gossip (on Twitter not Football Rumours) but at least wasn't deterred from going on record including the suggestion that it could be good for us despite the mauling he gets on here

Yes, experienced manager and could be a good appointment by Rotherham. If he could help his new club take points off our promotiobn rivals it can only be a good thing.

PA has been calling it for days - one of their journos is a big Millers fan.
As with Evans, it's a strange fit. RUFC will always be a family club unsuited to twerpish managers. It might have been their fans who came up with the Colin Waanker acronym - there was nowt better, about ten years ago, than watching Colin's histrionics when Rov would occasionally put one over on Sheff Yoo. I get the feeling Tony Stewart sees himself as a maverick and equates that with appointing divisive managers, which is always destined for doom as they end up clashing egos.

Previous boss wasn't too shabby about taking points off us !

Don't wait for me!
It'll be his last Championship job.

To be fair we were rubbish that day, and committed hari-kari.

Colin the dinosaur that just won't become extinct.

The strangest part of it might be that they are apparently paying off Nicky Eaden - signed as Assistant Manager on a 2.5-year contract last Thursday - so that Colin can bring in Blackwell. Whatever happens, Colin is unlikely to stay until next season as his media fees are lucrative, so you can imagine them having to pay off Blackwell if he guides them into the bottom half at the start of next season.
