I've been watching a lot of episodes of 'Under The Cosh' recently and have just watched the Danny Mills episode.
He actually comes across as quite an unlikable guy but the story he told regarding why he didn't sign for Boro on a permanent deal was interesting.
We only signed him on loan because it wa close to deadline day and had promised to sign him on a permanent deal for £1.5m in January. Once it had gotten to January Keith Lamb told him that we would wait until the end of the season and try to sign him on a free, as Leeds looked likely to be relegated and would have been desperate to offload him.
Seems mad looking back on it now. £1.5m would have been a steal. I always did find it strange that he didn't sign permanently for us, following a successful loan spell.
Starts talking about it around the 37th minute mark.
