Leeds learn hard lesson from Kewell fiasco

LEEDS chairman Professor John McKenzie claims he has learned his lesson from the Harry Kewell transfer fiasco – with a warning for the rest of the club’s stars.

McKenzie’s fingers were burned over the summer as Kewell, who had a year to run on his Leeds contract at the time, joined Liverpool for a bargain £5million after the Australia international refused to sign a new deal.

McKenzie was effectively held to ransom by Kewell’s agent, Bernie Mandic, who was reported to have pocketed £2million from the highly-controversial move.
