Seth Johnson was a player that went to Leeds to talk to the then chairman Peter Ridsdale. Seth and his agent went in with an idea of £15k per week which was a good increase on his current deal. Ridsdale came out and said we'll offer you £20k a week and no more. The agent said they had to think about it as he wanted to play his cards close to his chest. Of course they were going to accept but when they went back into the meeting Ridsdale said our final offer is £30k a week.
The agent broke his hand off. Muppet.
To take this a bit further, Johnson and the agents jaws dropped at 20k....Ridsdale fidgeted and not wanted to lose the player suddenly said 30k.....the agent said "done".
