Rogerwyldesmullet Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 For us, in my lifetime, not signing Cantona, not selling Hirst therefore not buying Shearer and ending up with Andy Sinton. This sequence cost us a place at the top table of English football which was in our grasp. I know B Robson is not popular hereabouts but he rated us back then as Man Us biggest rivals circa 1993-5. For fans - the rush to build fences. For England - refusing Clough the England job. For the global game - appointing Sepp Blatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atabor Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Allowing Dave Richards to become our chairman and putting us back 20 years! The idiot ruined his own engineering business, made a right mess of the Owls and then left us in the lurch to feather his own nest with a cushy job at the FA.

F. Spiksley Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Theres at least another year, maybe even 2 on it, so yeah we're stuck with that shower of sh*t Most contracts have a break clause. However, I suspect it's a bit further down Chansiri's hit list, and perhaps it isn't practical to do, rather than serve notice on contract, as you'd have to tender out for a new commercial partner. I bet it just gets run down. I'm sure we'll see improvements at some point. Didn't he fall in a fountain as well? Shame it wasn't an old mine shaft.

Pulsar Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Coventry City wearing that horrible chocolate brown kit..... This always makes me laugh..... Classic Moments: Southampton Legend Ali ‘The Liar’ Dia Makes His Debut, 1996 By Chris Wright It hardly seems like yesterday, but 18 years ago this very week saw the debut of a man who would go on to establish himself as an absolute, bona fide club legend at Southampton – in fact we’re fairly sure he’s got a statue outside St. Mary’s. If not, why not? That man, of course, was Ali Dia, who made his Saints debut on 23rd November 1996 in a Premier League game against Leeds United – coming on as a like-for-like substitute for the injured Matt Le Tissier with just 20 minutes played. Dia was signed by the legendarily shrewd Graeme Sounness after being personally tipped off by his cousin, George Weah, that Dia was a former PSG forward with 13 Senegal caps (and two goals!) to his name. Alas, it transpired that “George Weah†(who, it should be pointed out, actually hails from Liberia – some 2,000 miles down the African coast) was actually just one of Dia’s university mates, who somehow got hold of Sounness’ phone number and simply posed as the former World Player of the Year to deliver a glowing endorsement of Dia’s abilities. On announcing his signing, a pleased-as-punch Sounness (who is now paid handsomely to critique the game on television, it’s worth remembering) told the cameras: “He played with George Weah at PSG, and last year he was playing in the second division in Germany…so we’re having a look.†However, despite Sounness willingly signing Dia on a one-month trial contract, it transpired he was actually just a student from Northumbria University who happened to be living in Southampton at the time – which became immediately apparent when he replaced Le Tiss and took to the pitch. After around 43(!) minutes of largely ineffective lolloping, Sounness hauled Dia off again and subsequently tore up his contract there and then … I knew this story back in the day but i still cannot comprehend it.

sheriwozgod Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Not a football club , but the foreign office ordering the England national football team to perform a nazi salute before a "friendly" in Berlin in 1938 surely ranks as one of the worst decisions ever.

PopePiusX Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Melchester Rovers chairman Geoff Boycott - yes - appointing American Elmore Tweaker as their new coach. Very mixed results.

Guest Herbert Shoebanger Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The worst decision by a football club was Sheffield United allowing their history to be placed on the internet: "Sheffield United formed on 22 March 1889 at the Adelphi Hotel, Sheffield (now the site of the Crucible Theatre) by the President of the Cricket Club Sir Charles Clegg. The Wednesday had moved from Bramall Lane to their own ground at Olive Grove, and the tenants of Bramall Lane needed to create a new team to generate income. Sir Charles Clegg was incidentally also the president of The Wednesday." Quite clearly shows the following: - They were only ever formed to cover the bills as we moved to new premises. - They clearly do play on the ground we abandoned - They were an afterthought by the same person who founded 'The Wednesday' I have to agree the worst decision in world football for me has been the continual reappointment of Sepp Blatter. The game at the top level is crooked right to the very core and this man epitomises everything that is wrong with football - he is like the Dave Richards on a global scale - his crowning glory being the millions recieved from Qatar oil money as a leaving present when he does finally f.ook off and die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
