'Matt Mills: A disappointing but necessary departure' http://www.thesharpeend.com/2012/07/matt-mills-disappointing-but-necessary.html Thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I like how you make links to other subject areas. The defensive stats for SSL don't make for good reading vis a vis the others. But let's be honest , who gives a shite.. He's gone For me, it wasn't really as much about Mills defending as his shocking distribution with the ball and his demeanour as captain.
Jace Posted 5 July 2012 Posted 5 July 2012 Good read pal if a film is ever made about Mills and Pearson's relationship you should direct it. Would easily be better than Goal 3
wurmer Posted 6 July 2012 Posted 6 July 2012 Appreciate the effort - good writing. But as regards the subject matter, who really cares, he came, he went, and what's the point in speculating what did and/or didn't happen. Roll on the new season so we've got something proper to talk & moan about.
davieG Posted 6 July 2012 Posted 6 July 2012 Merc Matt Mills has got 'no problem' with Leicester City boss Matt Mills said he bears no hard feelings towards Leicester City and manager Nigel Pearson after he was sold to Championship rivals Bolton. The defender signed a three-year contract with the Trotters this week after just one season with City. A year ago, Mills had joined City from Reading in a move that would have been potentially worth close to £5million, depending on appearances and promotion, and started the campaign as captain under Sven-Goran Eriksson. But he ended the season stripped of the captaincy and out in the cold after falling out of favour under Pearson. However, Mills said there was no bad feeling on his part towards City or Pearson. "The manager (Pearson) took over and kept me on as club captain, and I played maybe 15 games under him, so I didn't think there was an issue," said Mills. "He's had different ideas and brought in different players and I understand it. He didn't sign me, so I haven't got a problem. "My intentions were good signing for Leicester, and under Sven I thought things were starting to build. But that's football – a new manager comes in and he has different ideas. I respect that and I don't have a problem with it. "It's led me to this opportunity, so I guess everything happens for a reason."
m00nie Posted 6 July 2012 Posted 6 July 2012 Maybe not the arrogant willy puller people was trying to make him out to be...
Jace Posted 6 July 2012 Posted 6 July 2012 On £39,000 per week Mills has been able to afford to hire his own PR manager maybe? Na just joking good on him I think he gets a bit too much stick on here sometimes, yeah he can't pass very well but I think we are short on evidence that he has a really bad attitude which many fans are making out
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 6 July 2012 Posted 6 July 2012 He had clearly been completely ostracised by the management and his fellow players To quote yourself. Says it all. Comes in as skipper and this was the result. As bad as Wise on my book.
absolutelegend Posted 6 July 2012 Posted 6 July 2012 My take on it is that we have sold our two best centre backs and not yet replaced them.

seenitall Posted 6 July 2012 Posted 6 July 2012 Good article - thank God we can't afford to sign any proper big name players if Matt Mills is a big time Charlie at leicester - can't beat having a team of meek yes men to manage, makes the job easier
