It depends who you believe.
Unfortunately the net wasn't in full swing back then so you heard something in the pub and then chinese whispers came into play.
Sherwood says not, but then he would. Either way, it was Kidd who sold him.
He missed a monumental portion of that season with injury. In fact, I bet we'd have stayed up had he have been leading the line for the majority of the season as opposed to Ashley Ward, Nathan Blake and Kevin Davies.
However, I still believe selling Sherwood was the main contributing factor to our eventual relegation.
I reckon we've got closer to £1.5m for him now, so I think we could have got not far off ten times more. He had just scored 24 goals, which is mightily impressive, and he wasn't to dissimilar to the age they signed Drogba at, and he cost £24m?
