More contact from would-be Swiss investors with Rotherham United

THE potential investors who met with Rotherham United's top brass last weekend are outlining their intentions to the club this week.

A Swiss-led group were in town last Friday and Saturday and spent time in the company of Tony Stewart.

They arrived with interest in a takeover and have been due to follow up their visit by making contact to say what their next move will be.

Stewart has been at the helm since rescuing the Millers from administration when they were in League Two and there have since been five promotions, seven years of Championship football and four trips to Wembley during his hugely successful reign.

However, the club has slipped in recent seasons and find themselves back in the division they occupied when the local businessman first assumed control.

Stewart has turned down offers for Rotherham in the past but is now believed to be more amenable to the prospect of a sale than previously.

Last weekend's three-strong party were shown around AESSEAL New York Stadium on Friday, surveyed the Millers' youth set-up on Saturday morning and then watched the 1-1 home draw with Reading that afternoon.

Meanwhile, Rotherham play the final match of their League One relegation campaign when they head to Wycombe Wanderers tomorrow.

Lee Clark's men are in 23rd spot and their boss is warning of a hard encounter against a side that had play-off hopes earlier in the season before fading to a mid-table place in the last few weeks.

Frustrated Wycombe boss Michael Duff pulled on punches in his post-match interview after a 4-3 loss at champions Lincoln City five days ago, saying his players

had “wasted” the last nine and a half months.

Clark, coming to the end of his short-term Miller tenure and waiting to hear if he will be offered a longer deal, said: “I've listened to their manager who I have a lot of respect for. He's done well wherever he's been.

“He's disappointed with where they're going to finish in the league. The Wycombe players are playing for their futures. I'm expecting a really tough game.”
