The 2016-17 campaign delivered a devastating, relegation-marked end for Rotherham United as The Millers finished a crushing 24th in the Championship and dropped back into League One. The season was characterized by immense turmoil, including an astonishing managerial merry-go-round and one of the lowest points totals in Championship history. Despite the chaos, forward Danny Ward was a lone bright spot, with his 11 league goals proving to be a vital contribution amidst the club's struggles. It was a turbulent and painful year that remains a defining chapter in the club's modern history.
