First case there's ever been like that, DoY

Which makes him "the exception that proves the rule". Romanov played hardball, turning down Fulham's £5m offer earlier in the year, then Villa's £8m offer, and eventually got what he wanted. But he was only able to because, with his millions, he could afford to look someone offering £5m plus straight in the eye - no non-Old Firm club has ever been able to do that previously, hence the discrepancy in what players sold by them normally fetch.
