No suprise as Sedgy leaves.

Although the rumours had been circulating for a week, today it was confirmed that Chris Sedgwick has joined Championship rivals Preston North End after a late challenge from Stoke City.

T
Sedgy, Cheerio
he deal will cost Preston £400k + according to their website, although the Millmoor outfit say its just £300k, so who's bullshitting us?? I wonder!!!

Sedgy had been with the club for 10 years, joining the youth system aged just 14, and had looked a great prospect since.

The club are also losing thier top scorer! Sedgy has scored 4 goals this season, overall he scored 20 goals for the Millers in 273 appearences for the club.

Boss Ronnie Moore is upset about losing Sedgy, but understands the financial difficulties, "I don't want to lose him but the financial constraints are such that the fee will probably pay the wages to the end of the season. It has been well documented about the size of the overdraft and what we are losing each week." Ronnie told the Rotherham Star.

He also added that the fans shouldnt get on Ken Booths back!!! "We'd be in dire straits without him, that's for sure, But if he decides the time is right to let
Cheerio - Lets hope so
'Sedgy' go and the money coming in is to help pay wages, then I can't disagree with that."

"We have to drastically review the wage bill so probably two more players will have to go, which isn't ideal given the position we are in," he added.

However Millers fans are irate and yet again question the clubs ambition and the hatred for Ken Booth is growing, The 83 year old Chairman was alledgly pushed in his special car park after the Wolves game.

Overall, and goodbye, good luck and thanks for the memories to Sedgy. And a big fat middle finger to Booth!!!!
