The countdown has begun for two Rotherham United players to decide whether to leave AESSEAL New York Stadium or remain and be a part of Steve Evans’ second coming.
They have relegation clauses in their contracts, and following the club’s slide from the Championship to League One last season, they may elect to pursue other opportunities.
New manager Evans, whose return to the club in April after a successful reign a decade ago came too late to save the Millers, revealed the situation to the Advertiser this week, but declined to name names. “There are still a couple players who have the option to move on because of the relegation clause and that lasts for the next few days,” according to him. “We respect that.”
The decision-making deadline is at the end of the month.
Rotherham have already signed 10 players and are looking to add more in their bid to put a difficult year behind them and construct a promotion-winning squad. “Our squad is a jigsaw that is coming together very nicely,” says Evans. “Every manager I communicate with, whether from League One, League Two, or the Championship, says the same thing: we’ve bought some really good footballers and kept some very good ones for the level at which we’ll be playing.
“We’re going to have a discipline in the camp that has arguably been missing for the best part of 15 months.”
Meanwhile, the Millers have been drawn at home against League Two Crewe Alexandra in the first round of the Carabao Cup. The match will be contested the week after the opening-day trip to Exeter on August 10.
