Can someone remind me while we released Kasper Smeichel again?
Guy is so consistent!

Ken Bates.

Yeah i remember really BV,
Grayson also supported the decision at the time and has to go down as huge mistake has been one of the best keepers around for such a long time now.

Indeed Class and Leeds/ Bates did not even get a very good fee just £1 million . still think his father Peter was a better keeper though.

Peter was better for sure, as good as there has been but still Kasper is solid.

Peter Schmichael was in the top 3 at the time, not sure Kasper has reached those heights. But yes Ken 'line me own pockets' Bates responsible for the departure along with a lot of other talent for next to nothing.

As I recall, he was sold because of his unlikeable bragging persona in the dressing room and he actually found out he was sold via a friend.

Who did we get in to replace him, wasn't it Lonegran and Ratchubka? We just missed the Play Offs then Schmeichel, Johnson and Gradel were the start of Ken's exodus of our better players.
