    Rotherham would mean settling into another team, family moving perhaps, all depends which
    part of the country they would move to.
    Rotherham United, Michael Smith & his agent have to sit down & come to a agreement, which
    benefits both Michael Smith & Rotherham United.


    If you're 30 years old and out of contract, selling yourself to the highest bidder (within reason) is absolutely the right thing to do.

    Someone will offer him a 3 year contract on good money. So what if it doesn't work out? If the salary is considerably higher than Rotherham will pay, it's a no brainer for him. That's the golden egg. it's reasonable to assume, this will be his last big contract.

    He's travelled up and down the country to ply his trade. I don't think moving would phase him and if he doesn't want to move his family, there will be takers within a 60 minute commute anyway.

    His only obligation is to his family.

    Good luck to him. Hope he stays.

    Didn't he buy a house in Huddersfield? If so he's an hour away from a couple of dozen clubs.
