That's the one! Not sure about the fee but I think it was a bit more than £25 grand. Certainly small beer compared to the sort of figures we're dealing in now.

Yes, I was a bit taken aback when I heard this! This is the sort of money splashed out by the top six, not newly-promoted clubs. Still, it's a statement of intent, I suppose.

*cough* It's a fun bet - I won't be bouncing this thread when Wolves are 10 points adrift at the bottom in April. I haven't decided on my life-changing bets yet
Giving the bookies £10 isn't all that high on my 'fun things to do' list, still whatever floats your boat.*cough* It's a fun bet - I won't be bouncing this thread when Wolves are 10 points adrift at the bottom in April. I haven't decided on my life-changing bets yet

It's e/w so it's £20. A bit of fun that might last for a few months. No different to backing a 20/1 shot in the Grand National I'd have thought but there you've likely had your 'fun' bet ruined in 15 minutes. And I can afford a left-field punt now and again.

We also did it with Mark Wright whilst at the Withdean, although he played a handful of games for us first. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wright_(footballer,_born_1982)
Darren Currie wasn’t at us for very long either, was he?

Nice freshly-washed money no doubt.
Why don't you just EDIT the thread title?

Have we a photoshopped image of him?
I used to work with someone who made a tidy profit doing this sort of thing. He would trawl eBay for items that were listed in 'wrong' areas get them at a low price because no one else was bidding on it, then re-list it in the 'right' (or more suitable) area so more of the people interested in the items saw them and bid for them.

Because I haven’t worked out yet how to do that. I know how to edit a post, but not a thread title. Perhaps you could tell me how. Yes, I know, stupid computer user. No, I’m not BG.
Within 30 minutes, 'edit post' then 'go advance' and that let's you edit the title, so you don't look like a bit of a wally.

Oh, ok. Thank you. Useful to know for next time (there’s bound to be a next time!)
Adobe is better. More acrobatic.
We did EXACTLY this with a player around 1998. We signed him for next to nothing, and sold him on for about £125K before the season had even started. Can't remembr the bloke's name. Calling [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1276]AZ Gull[/MENTION]
I can't remember what happened this morning.

Apologies - came into the thread at the wrong place
I’ve just seen that Barnet have appointed Darren Currie as their new manager today and that got me to wondering if it was him? Pretty sure that we made a tidy profit on him. Did he not sign twice and one of those was the incident that you mentioned when he was in and out in the blink of an eye.....
