Transfer targets

An offer of $19.6M for Lyle Foster

Rotherham United have gone to Burnley with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

110 days out for Joshua Kayode after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Rotherham United will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets

Rotherham United make their move for Harrison Reed

$930.0K on the table at Fulham. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market

Rotherham United promote Charles Shaw from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Charles Shaw has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
