Rotherham United have plenty to play for as we move into the closing stages of the season.

The Millers are firmly in the Championship relegation battle with the club struggling near the foot of the table but with several games in hand they'll be quietly confident of avoiding the drop.

A large part of how a side gets on is down to the manager with Rotherham having had some successful bosses over the season.

But who is the Millers' best league manager? We took to Transfermarkt to see who has the best PPG (points per game record) out of every manager who has managed more than 10 games.

Watch out, because one man features twice!

The manager took over at the end of the 2006-07 season with Rotherham United already relegated.

Harford had hoped that a strong start in League One would be enough to push them back into promotion contention but unfortunately that didn't happen.

The Sunderland-born boss was only in charge of the club for 26 matches but struggled to make any real impact as manager with a points per game record of just 0.77.

His time with the club started well but after 17 games without a win he was sacked in December 2007 and replaced by Alan Knill.

Not a boss who will be remembered for his results on the pitch.

Another boss who wasn't exactly blessed with plenty of time in the job.

Redfearn was appointed in October 2015 as Rotherham were looking to avoid relegation to League One, but unfortunately his time in charge didn't go to plan.

He was sacked in February the following year with the Millers sitting in 22nd position in the table.

Results clearly weren't good enough to get the club out of trouble with the Yorkshire side a PPG of just 0.81 - meaning that they were achieving less than a point per game.

Based on that it was little surprise that he didn't stick around for long.

The first appearance of the experienced manager in our top 10.

Moore spent eight years in charge of the club during his first spell with Rotherham United between 1997 and 2005.

During that time the club rose from Division Three to Division One but also had some fairly poor seasons with some meager point totals.

That contributed to Moore's PPG of just 1.08 during that time - however he would go on to improve that during his second spell with the club.

However we'll get to that later.

The manager replaced Mick Harford as Rotherham United in February 2006.

Knill spent just over a year in charge of the Millers but endured a torrid time that saw him sacked from his position in March 2007.

He narrowly avoided relegation during his first campaign with the club but after leaving the Millers they suffered relegation with the club all-but down at the time of his departure.

His record was far from impressive with a PPG of just 1.13 - something that was evident in their league positioning during that time.

However he did go on to have a career as manager of Bury and Torquay United before linking up with Chris Wilder at Northampton Town and Sheffield United.

Scott was appointed as manager in April 2011 and guided the team to a ninth-place finish that season.

His first full season at Rotherham United boss got off to an excellent start with the Millers getting four wins and one draw in the first month of the season as he looked to really kick on.

However with results faltering as the season went on Scott was sacked in March 2012 with the club occupying a mid-table position.

While their league form was far from disastrous, an average of 1.28 points per game wasn't enough to see the club challenging near the top of the table.

That's why the decision was made to make a change - something that would pay off the following year.

The current gaffer comes in at number five in the list.

Warne took over as manager of Rotherham United in November 2016 and has rarely looked back after making the job his own.

Despite suffering relegation in his first campaign the Millers secured an immediate return to the Championship before yo-yo-ing between the two leagues again over the next couple of seasons.

This term the club are battle to break that cycle by avoiding the drop but there's still lots of work to be done yet.

However with 1.32 points per game you wouldn't bet against them squeezing out of the relegation zone.

Moore's second entry in our rankings come from his second spell in charge.

The experienced coach came back to the Millers in 2009 and spent over two years with the club as he tried to get the team out of League Two.

Unfortunately he couldn't quite pull it off.

Moore fell short as he pushed for a play-off spot and that's what saw him leave the club by mutual consent in March 2009.

He did, however, record a PPG of 1.43 in his second spell which was a big improvement on his first time around the block.

There's not many teams that Neil Warnock hasn't managed but his time with Rotherham United was fairly short-lived.

He was appointed as manager of The Millers in February 2016 with the task of avoiding relegation - something that he managed to pull off with a late run of fine results.

Rotherham were keen to keep Warnock but instead he opted to leave the club and later went on to join Cardiff City instead.

Warnock only had 16 games in charge of the club but with a points per game record of 1.50 it's clear to see why he ranks so highly on our list.

I'm sure that Rotherham fans would have just loved to have kept him for longer.

Steve Evans comes in at number two on our list.

Evans was appointed as Rotherham boss in April 2012 and went on to enjoy over three years in charge of the club.

The manager enjoyed a great time with the Millers and led them to back-to-back promotions from League Two and League One before consolidating the club's position in the Championship.

There's no doubt that Evans has been one of Rotherham's best in recent years and that's why he's so fondly remembered.

With a PPG of 1.52 it's hard to be anything but impressed.

Top of the list is Mark Robins.

Robins joined Rotherham United in 2000 as a player and then assistant manager before stepping up to be caretaker boss and then permanent manager, replacing Alan Knill in 2007.

He stayed with the Millers for around 18 months before moving on.

While he wasn't able to secure promotion Robins certainly impressed as he came close during both seasons in charge - most notably when he narrowly missed out in 2008-09 despite being given a 17-point deduction.

It was that campaign that aided his PPG with Robins average 1.7 points every game.
