Sunday 31 July 2016 15:10, UK
All the transfer news, fan's views, predictions and odds ahead of Rotherham's 2016/17 Sky Bet Championship campaign.
Last year's finish: 21st
Manager: Alan Stubbs
Title odds: 150/1 with Sky Bet
First five games: Wolves (H), Aston Villa (A), Brighton (A), Brentford (H), Barnsley (A)
Players In: Anthony Forde (Walsall, Undisclosed), Jake Forster-Caskey (Brighton, Loan), Will Vaulks (Falkirk, £440,000), Lewis Price (Sheffield Wednesday, Free transfer)
Players Out: Adam Collin (Notts County, Free transfer), Jerome Thomas (Port Vale, Free transfer), Alex Cairns (Fleetwood Town, Free transfer), Paddy Kenny (Northampton, Free transfer)
Fan's view - Paul Chuckle (one half of the Chuckle Brothers) - follow him @PaulChuckle2
Expectation: Our chairman Tony Stewart is a great guy, with a real go ahead attitude. His expectation is certainly to stay up this year and then get to the Premier League within three.
Most important player: Lee Camp - If he plays as half as well as last season then he's in for another fine year.
Who will win the league: Newcastle
Without Neil Warnock I fear for Rotherham. They’ve got to start all over again and although it was a tough decision, they look most likely to finish bottom.
Dark horse: Rotherham!
One Championship player you'd want to sign: Moussa Sissoko
Ollie's prediction: 24th

Sky Bet odds
Neil Warnock led Rotherham clear of relegation last season and new manager Alan Stubbs is 4/9 to keep the club in the Championship this term. The Millers are 7/4 to slip back into Sky Bet League One, while it's 16/1 for a top-six finish and 50/1 against them achieving promotion to the top flight. They are also outsiders in Sky Bet's highest-finishing Yorkshire club market, and can be backed at 12/1 to end up higher than Sheffield Wednesday (10/11), Huddersfield (7/2), Leeds (7/2) and Barnsley (8/1).
