What are the rules for arbitration? Rule no 1. The quiz master is always right!!! Rule No 2.In case of dispute refer to rule number 1. Tony joined Sunderland in March 1974 as part of a swap deal which took Dennis Tueart and Micky Horswill to Manchester City. Tony's value was placed at £125, 000 with Tueart and Horswill priced at a combined fee of £350, 000, Sunderland receiving a cash adjustment of £225, 000. He spent just over three years on Wearside, playing a total of 120 games, before a £140, 000 switch to Birmingham City in the summer of 1977. Tony is pictured above during the match against Bristol City on 4/9/1976.
Huyton - I thought like you but in the publication I got questions from it says that Towers went as part of a swop deal with Horswill and £100k. Tueart it says left for £275k a club record for both clubs. So quiz master goes with the history books and you get one point for being partially right. Same rules as countdown if it's not in the book then it's not right.
Horswill worth more than Towers!!!! Never,
My History book must be different to yours, but I'll accept the adjudication.
How do you get round the smallest player issue then? 4 of them at 5'4" if I recall.
Do I get an extra 3 points for naming them all?
My book says that there was some debafe but the one in my answer was judged to be the smallest but you get the 2 points anyway.
Thank You. Very magnanimous I'm sure.
You tight git.
