Struggling Championship side Rotherham United escaped relegation by beating Reading 2-1 in the penultimate match of the season, which sent both Millwall and Wigan down to join Blackpool in League One.
The victory was achieved despite been earlier given a three-point deduction for fielding an ineligible player in an earlier match, and the fact that a Millwall player claimed that Rotherham weren’t good enough to win their remaining games.
After the match Rotherham manager Steve Evans hit back:
“A Millwall player said we’ve not got bottle. I’ve got 12 bottles of finest Champagne and we’ll be drinking them for about a week….
“Look forward to League One son, and keep your trap shut!”
The perfect, but blunt reply. I liked that.
