As relegation stares Rotherham United in the face, fans need to realise that it may actually be good for the club.
The Yorkshire based side thought that bringing in an established manager in the form of Kenny Jackett may help stem the flow this season, but unfortunately things have continued to spiral out of control.
Seven points from 19 games speaks volumes, and the Millers now find themselves a staggering 13 points from survival as we head into a hectic Christmas period. It seems as if they are destined for the drop down to the third tier, but when you stop and think about it that may not be the worst thing in the world.

Promotion to the Championship was obviously a great achievement, but it begs the question as to whether or not Rotherham were truly ready for it. They are a club with a great deal of potential, but their performances this season are staggering even for the second tier.
Much like sides bigger than them such as Norwich, Wolves, Southampton and many more, the drop to League One can end up being a chance to reinvent your side.

The Millers have been in the Championship long enough to call themselves a slightly established club, and they possess the players necessary to bounce straight back up if they handle themselves correctly.
Kenny Jackett has taken two other clubs out of League One via promotion, and if they stick with the former Millwall boss then it seems likely he will do it again.
