What was unusual about the transfer of a player (sorry can't say who as a quick Google of the name gives the story away) from Carlisle to Sunderland for ?18,000 in January 1949?
Good for a pub quiz, perhaps, where there is no internet access.

Now if I was being picky I'd say "wrong"!!! But I'll give it to you.
He wasn't just a manager, but a player-manager and reckoned it would do more for Carlisle to get the ?18000 than for him to carry on being the manager.
His name was Ivan Broadis... and the man who replaced him as manager of Carlisle was a certain Bill Shankley
