A quote directly from someone who played for us last season.

I won’t mention his name as I find that unprofessional but, when asked today whilst on holiday with his family, the player said no he’s leaving.

He thought Rotherham was a great club but that the Chairman lacked ambition. He went on to say all the talk from upstairs was just plain waffle. The team were told new players were coming in January, which even he thought was great as the team were clearly struggling in certain areas.

When nothing materialised, it didn’t carry well with the team. He went on to say the pay is poor for what was Championship football and with having a family, mortgage etc he simply has to get the best deal he can and Rotherham are not offering it.

Last statement was don’t believe the rumours you here about who the big earners are at Rotherham, there aren’t any. The pay compared to other clubs in our league was poor and a lot less than what’s on offer to him, which he’s turned down.

So there you have it. Even the players were miffed at no one signing on last January.

I thought we’d make every effort to keep this lad.
