Gillingham are angry with League Two rivals Swindon for making public their interest in Gills winger Luke Rooney. Swindon's interim chairman Jeremy Wray's revealed on the radio discussions regarding the potential transfer of winger Luke Rooney.
Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler was frustrated by the timing, with his revelations coming just hours before the two sides each took on Barclays Premier League opposition in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
"They have had a private conversation and to come out onto Radio Wiltshire and say that they had made a six-figure bid is not good conduct for me and the way that business should be done.
"We won't go into that any more but that's the way we feel about it." "I am not going to get into a war with Swindon but to actually come out and put it into the press the day before a big FA Cup tie, I am disappointed in their chairman and I know my chairman (Paul Scally) is livid as well," he told Kent Online.
