After announcing his signature for Cardiff City at the weekend, the deal blew up in Peter Ridsdale's face as Darrent Bent failed to arrive in South Wales for his medical and told the club he wanted to talk to Birmingham where he preferred to be based.
That transfer was rumoured to be in jeopardy over Birmingham initially offering lesser terms than Cardiff but it was always suspected that would sort itself out and so it has.
Time to move on ... not a great experience for Ridsdale, Cardiff City or its supporters but it may be a lucky escape. As disappointed and angry as we may have been by events, there was a distinct underwhelming feeling when Bent's name was first mentioned - a striker whose scoring record isn't really much better than Thommo's!
