After concluding a busy day at AESSEAL New York Stadium, the Millers boss told www.themillers.co.uk:
“It has been nothing short of a long, informative and strange sort of a day, but as always with football at this stage of the season, some tough decisions have to be made.
“It goes without exception that I would like to place on record my sincere thanks and gratitude for every Millers player who has appeared in our colours this season.
“I have in the last few minutes met with our Chairman who has in turn approved in full the above decisions, and I now look forward to working with and for him as we go forward to build our squad for next season.
“I will speak later in the week about individual decisions so that our valued supporters can understand the decisions, which have been unanimous with all the football staff at first-team level.”
