Administrator acts as Millers cut their cloth

Last updated : 20 March 2008 By Deano
Breaking news on MillersMAD yesterday evening confirmed that two of the non-playing staff within Millmoor had been made redundant and amidst rumours circulating our messageboards, we can confirm these are ticket office manager Carol Rockett and long serving club groundsman Bill Corby.

The departures follow the earlier resignation of Youth Development officer Mick Priest who cited personal circumstances as his reason for leaving the club.

With Saturday's game against Bradford 48 hours away, it's not known as to what other cuts may be made at this stage, although we understand that other non-playing staff are to be asked to take pay cuts, one more staff member has left the club this morning (Thursday 20th) and news may be released regarding players salaries in the not too distant future, although that is inconclusive.

With an Irish consortium already showing their interest in the Millers about a possible takeover, which was confirmed by Denis Coleman on Radio Sheffield's Football Heaven on Tuesday evening, there could also be further investors waiting in the wings. Reports in one of the tabloid papers, and also in today's Rotherham Star, states that ex-Carlisle boss Roddy Collins could be the power behind the Irish consortium.

Collins is the front man for Dublin-based firm McMullens Properties who have also been linked with a takeover at Scottish crisis outfit Gretna.

Thoughts? Our messageboard is open for debate as always....
