Must admit I was gutted to see Foster leave, not just because he's still one of the top 3-4 keepers in the country, but because he's the sort of character you need behind the defence. He was clearly important as a guy who could organise and had a natural authority. From what he said, I also thought he was about as close as you could get to being a clubman in the modern era, with his kids being West Brom fans and he being so attached to the Midlands.
But it seems like he would have stayed, if it were not for what was happening behind the scenes at the club. No doubt we shall learn more. If it boiled down to the club deciding to take on Johnston and push Myhill out, then on this occasion I think they got it badly wrong. Normally, I don't believe in player power, but in Foster we had much more than just a damned good keeper.
