Carney made 3 appearances for Halifax Town in 2004 - I believe this coincides with Wilder's tenure as manager

I hope you realise this could trigger a very dangerous existential crisis for me.

Oops, sorry mate!

I was looking on Carney's wiki page after seeing his name on this thread and noticed the Halifax appearances. Could be a reason why a player of such supposed natural talent talent only made 3 appearance for lowly Halifax under Wilder...I wouldn't be taking a bath with your toaster just yet.

I'll just stick with the belief that he wouldn't have played him in a Championship side.

Did you notice this though?

He made his first starting appearance in the Championship for Sheffield United in a 2–0 defeat at Bristol City on 6 October 2007. These performances and his displays in the Australian national team reportedly led to interest from German clubs Bayern Munich, VfL Bochum and Kaiserslautern; and a £2.3 million bid from Belgian champions Anderlecht.[9]

Since Kevin Blackwell became manager of Sheffield United in February 2008, Carney was "effectively frozen out of the first team."[10] In August 2009, it was speculated that Blackwell was so eager to leave Carney out of the first team that he named a squad one substitute short, despite Carney recently scoring a cracking goal whilst on international duty.[11]

So, despite Blackwell not rating him and the interest shown in what I assume was the 2008 JTW, we still didn’t manage to get a decent fee for him.
