    I’m not fussed by Miller going elsewhere. He had a few good games. Most players do over a period of time.
    He is definitely a confidence player and one that could go missing when things start going South for him.
    If Chesterfield want to blow their budget on one player then fine. IF we offered him what we thought he was worth whilst trying to build a quality balanced squad, and he didn’t agree then so be it.

    That's definitely a 'sour grapes' comment. If Calvin Miller had signed for us I'm sure your reaction would have been a positive one.

    He was an exciting player and I'm disappointed he's gone elsewhere, especially when 'elsewhere' is Chesterfield.

    Moneyi's the main clincher of course, but with Reeves, Ellis and now Miller choosing to walk it's enough to know that, for whatever reasons, we are NOT a place that's so good you really have to be there if you can. Money yes, but you can be forgiven for asking if there are any other common denominators in the decisions to go elsewhere.
    Yes. Ellis leaves Tranmere and goes to Barrow. On his door step compared to Nottingham. Reeves wanted to play in the EFL, we are not in the EFL. Miller has chosen Chesterfield and we have no idea whether we tried, and if we did how hard.
    Ironically at some point all those players have been criticised on here so why are we getting our knickers in a twist and fabricating BS rumours as to why.

    Well speak for yourself, easy to remedy - untwist and don't fabricate

    Rewind a week or so, would a majority of Notts fan have wanted...

    Ellis to sign? - definitely
    Reeves to sign? - just about
    Miller to sign? - without doubt

    Yes, they've moved on. Nothing we can do. It's comment worthy though.

    I’d still be surprised if we wanted Ellis at all tbh.

    It's a fair comment and not one I had noticed.

    It very much depends on the replacements. I would hazard a guess that the vast majority are more than happy with Ellis’s replacement. Ellis was an above average defender but people have put more weight on his goals return, which incidentally he had never been so prolific.
    Miller went on some decent runs but their was seldom an end product.
    As you say Reeves was OK.

    All are easily replaceable. I would be more worried if Roberts or Rodders wanted out.

    I find astonishing that some are fabricating reasons as to why these 3 in particular have gone elsewhere. You were hinting at possible problems behind the scenes.
    The facts are Reeves was very complimentary of the club and it’s management.
    Ellis and Miller were never our players. We put them in the shop window and both got moves. Fair play but so what.

    There are a lot of points there that I can't disagree with. In fact we agree - we move on and we could get better than that trio....easily.
    You've misread the posts and overreacted a bit. My point is only that you never know what goes through a player's mind when they make a decision, and you usually never will.

    Let's face it if both Cal and Rodders wanted out some fans would still be saying we don't need them. It makes me smile how important players are one minute but when they leave suddenly they aren't fussed..

    Too much time on their hands perhaps? Entertaining conspiracy? Pure guesswork? Underhanded tactics to try and disrupt the bandwagon?

    It's nothing new it's the close season it happens every season. All you can do is not take anything on NCM too seriously.
