Richard Dunne's £2million Manchester City pay-off negotiated by... his wife
Published 20:52 05/09/09 By Simon Mullock
Richard Dunne's multi-million-pound pay-off from Manchester City was negotiated by his wife.
While football agents are often seen as driving the hardest bargains for their clients, there was no doubting Helen Dunne’s determination to ensure her husband was well looked after as he headed towards a £6million deadline move to Aston Villa.
The Dunnes and their advisers were aware the City skipper qualified for a testimonial next year to mark a decade of service. And he was due a loyalty payment because he had not demanded a transfer.
The Republic of Ireland international has been popular with City fans, so when he was being sold in the wake of Joleon Lescott’s £24m recruitment his wife Helen wanted the best possible deal for her man.
Chris Farnell, the respected sports lawyer, has been advising the Dunnes but wife Helen was present for the critical meeting with City officials that finally led to his move to the Midlands.
Club insiders believe she asked for a £6m farewell payment for her husband. City rejected that request but Helen did manage to land a £2m farewell gift.
Arthur Lager said:Richard Dunne has been part of the rise and fall and rise again of Manchester City, and in many ways he has epitomised the club over the same period. He has given us some great memories (player of the season awards) but he will more recently be remembered for some costly blunders, but through it all most City fans retained a soft spot for him. One thing which can never be questioned is his commitment to the City cause during his time at the club.
If it wasn't for Kevin Keegan, who helped him to get over some of the problems associated with a drinking culture at the club during the Royle era, he may have ended up on the football scrap heap before his career had ever really got going.
Dunnie was at his best when he had to concentrate, particularly against the likes of Utd and Liverpool, but when his concentration lapsed, which it did regularly last season, he could cost us a game in just a few seconds.
He loved City and was upset to leave just as things have started to look up for us. He was expressing his disappointment at the club's unwillingness to keep him. After 9 years he probably felt that he deserved better than that. He also said some kind words about the fans and the club in the same interview, he was just upset at the manner of his departure.
The club has moved on and Mark Hughes can't afford to pick players who could cost him his job with lapses of concentration, hence his departure. He probably thought that it was unfair to ask Dunnie to go from being club captain to sitting on the bench. Dunnie is worth a starting place at 50% of Premiership clubs so his move will be good for him and with the profit we have made on his sale, for City as well.
I, for one, wish him all the best at Villa and will be giving him a good reception at Villa Park in a few weeks. During the same game Villa fans will no doubt be slating Barry so lets show our class and give Dunnie the reception he deserves.
