Halifax made a bid for Miller
« on: February 06, 2014, 10:48:25 PM »
For those who don't have access to twitter,

News for @bostonunited fans, FC Halifax Town have made a bid recently for Ricky Miller

With all due respect, not sure why Halifax is significantly better than here (if at all), but they're looking for replacements if/when Gregory goes...

Depends how long term they want to make it for Ricky.  The big move seems to rarely work out for our players so I'd be inclined to see it out here if I were him.  Better to be stable in a club for the long term than race up a division, not play and disappear ala Mark Jones.

I suppose the main factor is location and whether they need him to go full time to join.  Going from Part Time to Full Time must be a big decision if you have a proper job that is stable, they're hard to come by.

I can't believe that either, they weren't that great last year despite getting out of the division.

The info came from Gary Simpson. How does he know? And when he says a 'bid', was it a concrete offer in writing, or simply an enquiry as to his availability?

I think its just simpsons way of trying to get ricky head turned so Lincoln could try and nab him.
I.ve got family in Halifax who watch them home and away and they say they would have to sell first and they think any money gained from a sale of a player would not be invested back into team because of there own debt problems they have again

I'm very glad he plays for us but IMO he is not a good team player. Great individual runs, has scored a lot of goals, but does hang onto the ball too long at times when it would have been better to pass it on.
We mustn't make him out to be too good otherwise a lot of clubs will get interested in him.
Can't imagine any of our players wanting to leave with the prospect of a new stadium and promotion on the horizon. Exciting times. All we need now is a regular crowd of at least 1500.
Anyway who would want to play in Yorkshire, it's always cold, wet and windy up there.

Halifax fan in peace here. Just came on here to deny that we're in financial problems, if we were as short of money as has been made out I've no doubt Gregory would have been sold for peanuts. We're one of few clubs in the conference who are in the black so any rumoured suggestions of trouble simply aren't true.

Anyway, I guessed a while back we'd bid for Miller. I understand we made bids for 3 players, Durrell, Miller and not sure on the other but with the form miller has been in it is hardly surprising. Great article about him in the NLP a few weeks back. Whether we'll continue the pursuit into summer I'm not sure, but all the best to you and a cracking victory over Gainsborough last weekend!

Someone has posted on their forum and I am speechless.

"The lad needs to find his spiritual home and his guiding light, The Shay and Neil Aspin could just be those things he is looking for. Get him on loan next week, with a view to a permanent move in May "

Why would Ricky Miller leave Boston Utd next week to go out on loan to a team who are part time themselves.   I have never read anything so ridiculous.

Couldn't see the club loaning him out unless we fell away from any play off race so im not worried about it at all,

Only way I could see it happening is if Halifax put a good fee for Boston in a loan package

Out on loan, are they stark raving mad. Who do they think they are, whoever posted that must be a right pompous so and so, for remotely believing we would possibly consider such a possibility? He's on contract until the end of the year, window has gone, loves being here and along with Pidge and Newsh are an integral part of our play off aspirations, out on loan indeed

But we're in no place to turn down money.  If they bid enough they'll get him.
