Smith and Icky are confirmed to be leaving.

It's not how it works. If Rotherham had found themselves stuck in League 1 next season how would they have funded these wages? Players who are 30 years old and in demand, are going to run contracts down and sign a contract with the highest bidder. Rotherham will have known this from the outset and made the decision to keep them for a promotion push. Why would they sign a new deal in the last year of their contract? If they do that the club would want a fee if they move on. That reduces the amount morally bankrupt clubs like Wednesday will pay in wages.

The only thing I would question, is why drop down a league but you only have to look at the Barry Bannan situation to see it's the way of the world.

Take Smith and these other 'free signings'. He now has a bumper contract for 3 years. If he doesn't perform he knows he'll get a good part of his contract paid up. That'll leave him to go and ply his trade somewhere else and not be out of pocket. Be that in 9 months to 18 months time.

Rotherham have done the best they can and their reward for keeping them is a few million more in revenue next season. We might be 20 points adrift next season. Who knows. What I do think is that we need a different approach and need to try something different.

Rotherham. I can't blame them. The players, I can't blame them either.

The authorities. They need to sort the game out. I've no issue with clubs spending big if their business model allows that. What we don't to see is a raft of points deductions and FFP breaches at the end of next season. It's going to happen again and too many clubs will avoid anything and cheat again.

The jokers at S6 being one of the worst offenders. Shame for them, that they have the biggest simpleton in the football league managing them. Haha.

The only reason Bannan is still at Wednesday is that his agent couldn't find another club to pay the wages he wanted,even though he has taken a cut at S6.But Owls fans says he's loyal to the club,yes but only because the mugs are paying that much in wages.

Swfc though have been clearing out a lot of their big wage earners and have replaced them with some relatively cheaper ones. Add to this no real transfer fees and overall their financial position is improved

By that do you mean the losses have reduced? Their financial position continues to get worse.

He didn't take a wage cut and yes they are mugs.

No only that the wages aspect of their running costs has improved.

In a few months it will just be ancient history.

They’ve moved on who gives a s.hit????????

There's speculation about Purrington going to S6 too.

no disrespect meant but not bothered who Wednesday sign .

[Nogbad]

It's a good job DVS has been demolished, otherwise that might have been their next RUFC reject.

Ben Purrington would be a decent signing for League 1. An out and out left back that got kept out of our side by Joe Mattock.
I take it as a compliment that Wednesdays want to sign ex Millers players..... not bad for a Toytown club that opposing fans say are a route 1, hoofball side.

Best of luck next season Les.... Hope you finish 7th...
