Miller: I did not leave Glory over Ferguson



Liam Miller has opened up about his decision to quit Perth Glory, insisting Ian Ferguson's sacking wasn't the reason and he is excited by a new start with Brisbane Roar.
Miller shocked many at the end of last season when he turned down a contract extension with the Glory before signing with the Roar soon after.
It was thought the sacking of Ferguson, who was instrumental in luring Miller to the A-League, midway through last season was the reason behind the Irishman's decision to leave the club.
But Miller has set the record straight, insisting the challenge of starting over at a new club and moving his family to the East coast were key factors in his decision.
"I'm very grateful to Ferguson and obviously he brought us over (to Australia) and I had a great year and a half under him," Miller told Sportal.
"You don't like to see any manager get the chop and I wish him well. I enjoyed my time there, we got to the grand final but it just wasn't meant to be.
