Has TP ever got it wrong when it comes to releasing players. Then again most of the players that left TP didn't want them to go.

Stokie 1000 - TP certainly didn't want Vass to go so you can hardly say he "got it right" in letting him go. However, he may have been right in thinking that Vass wasn't ready for first team football at Championship level at the time he left. I don't know if we'll ever know the answer to that.
Had Vass stayed he would almost certainly have been loaned out the following season to a lower league club - which is what has happened to many of the players he played with at the Academy. I wish Vass had been a bit more patient (or hadn't listened to his agent) and I reckon he would have been still here if he had thought Stoke would have reached the Premiership a year after he left us. I wish the authorities could find a way to deter young players moving clubs too early. Didn't work for Commons and doesn't work for a lot of youngsters.
