Barney believed a £50 million pound deal was on the table… but he was nervous.

The year before he’d been stung.

Stung sharp. Like vinegar and scratched in a paper cut.

Barney got so close. Breathtakingly close. Frustratingly close.

Fuel10k’s Dream Exit.

Big Poppa Dough. Life-changing coin.

Fell through,last minute.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

This time, Barney was serious.

A balmy Spring evening. Italian restaurant. Belgravia.

Over seafood spaghetti and red wine

Barney looked deep into the white of his eyes.

Unflinchingly, Barney said

“Are Premier serious this time?”

This timePremier were.

October 2024, Barney got the big exit.
