According to Alan Nixon’s most recent article on his Patreon, the former Plymouth Argyle manager is among the top three candidates for the position, and his lack of availability and pay may work to his advantage.
After been fired by Stoke City in September after just nine months as manager of the Potters, the 40-year-old is currently without a club and is reportedly eager to return to management.
Schumacher appears to be a smart decision for the former Premier League team, who are currently only three points outside of the League One play-off spots, having managed in the third division before with Argyle, where he earned a promotion.
Schumacher is said to be one of the names being considered at the Toughsheet Stadium after today’s decision to part ways with Evatt, with Evans and Robinson also said to be in the mix.
Evans returned to the New York Stadium last year after leaving Stevenage, and after a slow start to the season following their relegation from the Championship, the Millers are slowly starting to pick up form, with just two defeats in their last eleven games in all competitions.
The Glaswegian has got United out of the division before in his previous stint at the club back in 2014, and although he can split opinion with his personality, knows how to get the best out of the players at his disposal, and pick up results at all costs.

As for Robinson, he has St Mirren eighth in the Scottish Premiership right now, having produced a 2-1 victory over Rangers on Boxing Day, while also getting his side into European competition last season.
All three have impressive past records, but with Schumacher available and ready, the former Argyle manager might be the front-runner, with a team prepared to make a push for promotion to League One in the second half of the season.
The news of Evatt’s dismissal broke this morning, as the 2-1 loss to Charlton Athletic on Tuesday night proved to be the last straw in his stay at the Toughsheet, as the animosity towards him grew at an exponential rate.
The former Blackpool player had been in charge for four-and-a-half years, leading the side back up from League Two in his first season, before seeing his side lose out in the play-offs in the last two campaigns in League One.
Two wins in the last nine league games proved to be too much to take for the Wanderers board, but despite that poor run of form, Bolton are still only three points away from the play-off picture, with 20 games still left to play in the season.
Any manager who takes the job in the next few weeks is set to embark on a quest to be involved in the play-offs for a third successive season, and build off the fine foundations that Evatt put in place at the club.
