Well, mainly....

''I am sorry we let Johnson go away with England because that is where his head was turned and Eriksson has not been particularly supportive,'' bemoaned Jordan."

I somehow doubt him being picked for the tour is the reason he wants to leave. And even if it was, does that mean Sven isn't allowed to pick players because it might make them want to change clubs?

And as for him not being "particularly supportive", well I'm afraid it's not really his job to keep Johnson at Palace. In fact that would be Jordan and Dowie's job, if it's anyone's.

Apart from that it made perfect sense, obviously.
