Former directors Dino Maccio and Alan Cartledge are reportedly ready to submit a rescue bid and they have a deal to keep the club at Millmoor.
The Millers are scheduled to host Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday.
The club received a 10-point penalty in March when they entered administration for the second time in three seasons.

"We've got to get things sorted out and resolved as quickly as possible."
Rotherham said they owed the money to the Inland Revenue because of falling attendances, as well as a smaller than expected insurance claim for summer flood damage.
The club had previously been saved from liquidation in the summer of 2006 when creditors backed a Company Voluntary Agreement.
They were also then hit with a 10-point penalty, which eventually cost them their League One status when they were relegated last season.
