Football News: Matt Mills: I never wanted to leave Reading

Matt Mills has attempted to set the record straight over his move from Reading to Bolton Wanderers three and a half years ago, in an interview with the Bolton News.

"When you move to another club you don't often get a chance to tell your side of the story," he told The Bolton News. "I haven't wanted to say much but maybe this is a good time.

"I never, ever wanted to leave Reading. But the club have to recoup £7million every summer and it just so happened that the summer before they sold Gylfi Sigurdsson and this time it was getting to the end of the transfer window and an offer came in which they accepted.

"It's just a shame that people didn't know what was going on in my life at the time - I didn't want to go at all.

"All the booing is just a bit of hoo-hah, I quite enjoy it. You have got to embrace it."

Should Reading fans be concerned about his claims of a £7million deficit that needs player sales to keep the club going?
