Despite
breathing much-needed life into Rotherham's survival fight, boss Neil
Warnock has no intention of sticking around next season.
The
67-year-old is six games into his 16-game brief of delivering
Championship safety to the Millers and he is making an impressive
fist of it, having picked up 10 points thanks mainly to three
successive wins.
That
has put the Millers in a strong position of beating the drop and the
fans have taken Warnock to their heart, with the prospect of him
being around next season a mouth-watering one.
However,
with him still living in Cornwall and returning home after matchdays
to tend to his sick wife, a deal beyond this season looks highly
unlikely.
Warnock,
who received the LG Performance of the Week award for the win at
Sheffield Wednesday last week, is enjoying the challenge in South
Yorkshire, though, and is concentrating only on the next 10 games.
“I
love the Championship, it is my cup of tea,” Warnock said. “being
back in South Yorkshire, the oos and aahs, the tackles, the referees,
the headers and crosses, the excitement.
“I
do love that type of football and that's what I have missed when I
have been away.
“I
get tired a lot and the travelling is a long way as you can imagine.
The chairman has accepted that I have to do certain things in the
week, I have to slow down a little bit.
“But
it's what you are, I can't change myself when I am doing my job. I am
what I am on the bench and in training.
“As
you get older you get tired, you just have to get one with it as long
as it is not detrimental to your health and your wife is happy with
it.
“She
is at the moment, Sharon is quite happy with me being out of her feet
because she has not been in the best of health.
“I
don't look beyond the 10 games at the moment.
“It's
a fantastic challenge and whatever the situation we have given people
a run for their money. Can we maintain it, I don't know but we'll
try.”
