Patey: Marvellous, how much would you like to buy it for? Consortium: Our offer has been delivered to you by our lawyers. It is non-negotiable. Patey: Let me just consult Mr Holt...*muffled voice* Bob, you said this was like selling a house but I don't actually know what the fuck I'm doing? What's that, take the money and run as quickly as you can? That other thing? Ok, understood! Good idea, thanks. Consortium: Are you still there? Patey: Yes. We'll accept the offer but only if you let us sell Matt Ritchie to Bournemouth for £500k. Consortium: That makes no sense, he's the club's star player and Paolo is going to be fuming. Patey: Ok, £400k then. Consortium: Deal! Consortium: Do you smell burning leather?
