"We are happy with him, with what he has done, the style of play he has brought and we feel he is a good, young manager." he added.

However during tonights Football Heaven programme, Millers Chairman Dennis Coleman has been on and confirmed that a deal will be done by Saturday.

"We were going to announce it Saturday, but he's got a big week ahead, and we wanted to put his mind at rest and give him the best opportunity for this weekend... for his build-up to this game.

"I think everybody's gotta agree, he's done a fantastic job under the circumstances. He come in as caretaker and we'd just lost 17 games. He's picked it up from there, we could have been down and finished by now."
