Remember a player called Darren Barnard. I understand that he was offered £9000 per week by the reds but thought that he could do better elsewhere. What happened? Ended up at grimsby on £1000 per week before drifting into non league.
see also arjan de zeeuw. leeds/bradford courted him and he left us on a free. ended up signing for wigan in division below as no one wanted him. oh how we laughed!!! he certainly had the last one when he signed for pompey and got to premiership
