The signing of Miller symbolises all the differences between the two clubs.
Both clubs have got a number of injuries. We're missing Vincenti and Allen for a couple of months, yet we make do with what we've got and we do what we've always done and try and make our existing players better. Bury have Pope ruled out for a similar length of time, and they go and bring someone new in. The message sent out to those not starting at both sides couldn't be any clearer. At Dale, you'll get the chance if you're patient. At Bury, that chance will be snapped up by someone new coming in.
Incidentally, there was talk at Saturday's game that we made an enquiry about Miller in the Summer after he left Huddersfield but were quoted five grand a week. In previous years, you'd have assumed his wage demands would have dropped but with no loan market, the ball has pretty much been in his court. |
