    He's gone along with his staff to Derby.
    Kick in the nuts for Rotherham then after their good start to life in the Championship, our game excepted of course.

    His open letter to Rotherham fans hasn't gone down too well....

    Stopped reading after the second paragraph, doubt many of their fans got much further to be honest.

    To be fair, Get Derby right and promoted, it's a much bigger club. I haven't read the letter because it's up there with players patting the badge.

    That's the general sentiment from the replies on the tweet tbh. They had a good start to this season, wonder who they go for now.

    Be ironic if Rotherham stay up and Derby don't get promoted

    Yeah I had a quick read last night as I thought what the **** would he have the balls to say in an open letter after ****ing off. Stopped reading once I confirmed it was a patronising you are all great, this club means so much bullshit letter.

    He may or may not have got to saying Derby are a bigger club with more potential and paying me more so see ya later ****ers! But I doubt it!

    I normally don't get into the whole who's bigger than whom, but from the outset, say Rotherham go on a crap run, he gets sacked, the manager is scratting around lower leauge looking for work, maybe a struggling Championship club. Derby are a bit like us, should be no where near the 3rd division, but circumstances have dictated they are.

    I get it from him, Derby is a bigger job. However they like decent football and I have always found his Rotherham teams more functional. I hope he gets it right because Derby back in the championship is a good thing, but I have some doubts that they have anything like the squad needed. They remind me a bit of us in our first season down here, experience but not much dynamism. Maybe this manager will fit the squad...

    They seem to be happy to yoyo between L1 and Championship in the same way Norwich do with the Prem and Championship. I guess the gaffer sees himself kicking on and has a better shot at Derby. Bigger expectations at Derby, they are still pulling in great crowds. Don't mind Derby, good club.

    Derby was a bagde i had about 20 of when I used to collect the stickers back in the mid 90s in my youth. Them,Everton and Coventry. Hard ones to get in the Northeast were, Man U, Sunderland, Newcastle and Chelsea.

    I've lost track of Derby and don't really know what they are anymore.

    Are they in debt, do they own the ground, was their demise the fault of the club or someone else ...

    ... I'm not even sure their support is that good tbh.

    Is it?

    24700 at their last home game. It’s decent, nothing more.
