Peterborough United owner Darragh MacAnthony says striker Ricky Miller is "driving me mad" by turning down chances to leave the League One club.
Miller, 28, joined from Dover last summer but has not scored in 13 games.
"It hasn't worked out, we see value in him, all these clubs see value in him," MacAnthony told BBC Cambridgeshire.
"He'd prefer a move closer to home - typical footballers - but I'm not willing to do that, the club closer to home isn't even competing financially."
Miller scored 42 goals in 43 games in the National League last season, with MacAnthony claiming Posh turned down a £250,000 bid for the forward before he had officially joined.
He has two and a half years remaining on his three-year contract.
"Ricky's turned down about five different clubs," added MacAnthony. "He's turning loads of them down and it's driving me mad because he's not going to get game time here.
"If he's going to base it on geography and whatever else he's in the wrong industry - if you're going to base moves on geography being a football player, don't play football.
"I've sat people in the stands before when they've played that game with me - I've been there and they think I'm bluffing, I'm not."

I saw months ago he only lived a few roads away from Peterborough's ground?
MacAnthony is an arrogant twat though, id sit on my contract just to water him off if I were Miller.

Because I would be inclined to say both.

But I doubt he'd have the likes of Virgo and Kenneth taking the p. Although potentially met his match with Miller, who I assume is looking for a move back to Dover?

I get that he's trying to force him out the club. He's got two and a half years left, though and these comments are hardly likely to endear him to prospective buyers. After the alleged problems with alcohol and his inability to make an impact this season, surely no clubs in this league would touch him with a barge-pole? I could understand a team or two from the bottom of league 2 or the conference taking a punt but wages must be an issue. Peterborough will surely have to accept a substantial loss on him, otherwise he may well be sitting in the stands for the next 2 1/2 years.
