Although not yet officially confirmed, it appears Marcus Bent's preference to snub an agreement to sign for Cardiff City in order to talk to Birmingham City may have backfired as he has been unable to agreed terms with the Midlanders.
According to Charlton Athletic forums, Bent - a player they don't want and can't wait to get rid of - is returning to the South London club and will join up with the squad as they fly out to Germany for pre-season training and games tomorrow.
On the face of it, Bent has lost out as he is clearly not wanted at Charlton and may be set to sit it out in the reserves but I get the funny feelings something will be sorted out either with Brum or by another club stepping in.
Just like the Robbie Fowler episode, Bent's snub may well turn out to be another lucky escape for City.
