Mills came close to joining Billy Davies’ Forest before he eventually signed for Reading in a £2million deal a year ago.

He has now established himself as a first-team regular under Brian McDermott and in the absence of fellow defender Ivar Ingimarsson has been trusted with the captain’s armband.

“There was a chance of potentially going to Forest, but I don’t think the chairman at Doncaster was prepared to let me go to what they considered a rival club at the time,” explained Mills.

“To be fair whatever they offered was annulled by the chairman not wanting to let me go there.

“So it was a bit of a strange situation. But it’s Reading’s gain I guess. I’ve had a great last six months since I’ve been here and an amazing pre-season.

interesting to read the events of the matt mills saga last summer out of the horses mouth. many fans including me blamed it on the TAP.
 
think it was the tap trying to get him for peanuts and pissing off the chairman that in the end hed rather cut off his own nose than sell to us
 
Or maybe it's because they didnt want to sell to (local) rivals like the man suggests.
 
At the time they thought we would be relegation rivals. The similarity to the current situation is that Cardiff and Swansea see us as promotion rivals.
 
Just goes to show those constantly blaming the AP what a viable reason for a player not coming to our club actually looks like, rather than accusations of the club lacking ambition to improve.

Are we really that good though that we can't look for an alternative player and Mills is the only player out there that is better than we already have.
I think not.
 
You beat me to it by 60 seconds! LTLF' sstandards are slipping dangerously if there's been a Matt Mills thread for 7 hours and no-one's posted those words yet! :D
