Anthony Harris has until the next board meeting
What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Rotherham United can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Arvin Appiah puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Rotherham United, and it is not being withdrawn.

A one-man rearguard from Ellery Balcombe
There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

17 goals and a season average of 7.30. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Tempers go at Rotherham United
Gustavo Sá was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Esapa Osong stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Esapa Osong and Rotherham United agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Boardroom6 Mar 2028
Mackenzie Maltby will join Rotherham United for nothing
The paperwork is done long before the player is. Mackenzie Maltby has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Rotherham United have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.
The terraces6 Mar 2028
The crowd has taken to Esapa Osong
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match4 Mar 2028
