Regardless of his destination, Revell's exit from Rotherham is tinged with sadness as he is a club hero for his part in the last two and a half seasons of success.
Here's how Twitter reacted to his departure.
A lot of Rotherham fans have taken the news badly
Will be gutted if Revs leaves 😔 #rufc

Will be sad if @therevmeister leaves #Rufc not just for his great goal at Wembley but his work rate off the ball, does so much #gutted

Be a shame if Revs leaves, done a lot for the club over the last few years and we will never find a player to work as hard #rufc

Some Millers fans were less disappointed
Revell on his way then. I think this is a good deal for all concerned. Can't fault his effort but we need goals. Good luck to the lad #rufc

Players come and players go but my heart will always be red and white #rufc #inevanswetrust

I'm glad Revell is leaving to be honest, I think in the long run it will benefit the club more. It's time to let go #rufc

glad revs is going cardiff, gives Derbyshire a chance to shine! #rufc
— Jordan Hames (@HamesJordan) January 7, 2015
Personally think that's a good bit of business. #rufc #revell

Gutted about Revs. This man defines Rotherham United. His progress has been staggering! Massive loss. Hope Evans knows his replacement #rufc
— Josh Dyson (@dyson_17) January 7, 2015
Cardiff fans are going to take some convincing
Why is Slade signing lower league journeymen? All for giving him a chance (can't be worse than Macheda), but still disappointed #CCFC

Who the fuck is Alex revell
— James Thomas (@James13Thomas) January 7, 2015
Alex revell is going to be poor signing as well😩
— James Thomas (@Jamees_Thomaas) January 7, 2015
Slightly confused why Cardiff are signing Alex Revell? Clearly Slade has lost the plot! 😂 #ccfc #rufc
— Matthew Evans (@MattyLOFCEvans) January 7, 2015
Revell's goalscoring record this season is no better than the strikers we currently have at the club. Not exactly an inspiring signing IMO.
