Chairman Tony Stewart adds to his previous reaction and says the play-offs are still the aim as he appointed Andy Scott as the clubs new manager yesterday. Stewart appointed Scott on a three year deal on Wednesday and spoke in this morning's Yorkshire Post, revealing his intended target had been initially interviewed 10 days ago with plans outlined to take the club forward."The play-offs are still possible," said Stewart. "Andy will do his level best to maximise the potential to get into the play-offs. It's not where we are, it's where we are going. It's not just about the last five games."Andy Scott turned our heads. We had about a two-and-a-half hour meeting with him initially and he was very impressive, a riveting discussion and very articulate."You look at what he achieved with Brentford - promoted and a good cup run in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. He wanted the Rotherham job. His brother (Grimsby gaffer and former Miller Rob Scott) still lives in Rotherham. He thinks he can revitalise the club and he can assess the players over the last five games with 10 players out of contract in the summer."Stewart added he's already been impressed with Scott's preparation and ideas he's put to the table."He left London at 5.30am yesterday, arrived in Rotherham at 9am, talked to Andy Liddell and Paul Warne, signed a contract and has already delivered a list of his plans, implementing changes."I can see he is an action man with his preparation, I have been amazed. It doesn't automatically bring success, but it goes a long way towards it."
