hasthagotanycheese Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 There are so many times over the last 40 years where the wrong choice has been made by the club: Richards petty sacking of Big Ron Failure to permanently sign Kenwyne Jones Allowing Darko Kovacevic to leave too cheaply Not backing Howard Wilkinson The purchase of Chris Woods Allowing West Ham to nick DiCanio for peanuts Dc's inability to appoint a proper Chief Exec Not selling Hirst to Man U for 5 Million The signing of Francis Jeffers Year after year of rubbish youth development The sacking of Gary Megson Allowing Jamie Vardy to leave. 3m wasted on Andy Sinton The list goes on and on. Obviously these decisions all look bad in hindsight however if even a few of the above had gone the other way then the club would be in an entirely different position today. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Well this is a cheerful thread, most of the replies so far are making me angrymad, feel like I'm going to implode! If we get a points deduction though that'll go pretty close to the top of my list. I know the EFL throw deductions around like confetti these days but I don't want us to be on that list regardless.

Mosborough-owl Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Where do I start! angry for not hiring Warnock when he wanted the job. angry for paying for some water at the game.. when the young lass told me the Price I didn’t know to laugh or cry! angry for losing the playoff semi against uddersfield. Our best chance ever of going up and we blew it angry at Wednesday for not backing di canio, and literally throwing him under the bus. angry at SAG for shutting half of the ground. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get played off the park or even beaten by the better side having giving your all you can look back and kind of accept it. That's not how it was at all and will always be looked back on as a golden opportunity missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffix Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Losing to Man City 1-2 in last match of 69-70 season when we had to win to avoid relegation. 45,000 + City wanted us to stay up, that penalty they missed barely reached the line. A lifeline thrown away and 14 years to wait to get back. What a waste. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elderly Owl Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Fergie time to let Man U win.. Villa winning at Hillsborough under Big Ron Leon Clarke’s performance against Palace (- actually just Leon Clarke really) and Jeffers pulling his head away from the easiest chance of the game. 0-0 at home to Dagenham and Redbridge after driving from Inverness for the game and driving back afterwards. Bloody AWFUL performance! Grant Holt was garbage. The relegation game against Man City in (was it) 1972? losing on penalties at home to Wolves it’s been tough over the last 61 years... (but Harkes against Derby though...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That penalty though...I think Tony Coleman scored a screamer to give us hope ( it’s the hope that kills you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Whether anger is the emotion or not I don’t know, but of the many years one situation sort of sticks out. we had waited for years to change chairman after the very dark days of 2000 onwards. They were long , long years at times I refused to go into the stadium due to legal action being taken against fans. we finally had a new dawn , a fan as chairman , a decent bloke. Then we promptly signed a load of rubbish, appointed Alan Irvine, went down and basically went bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an absolute mile over the line when the keeper pushed it out, well a good 2 yards anyway, but the ref didn't have a clue and just told them to play on. Alright we still won 7-1 but I was absolutely livid. I remember that. The keeper was just stood in the net with the ball. There was a photograph in the next home programme which wasn't at the best angle, but didn't need to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I am still pissed off by us losing the 1966 FA Cup final after being 2 goals up despite it being 9 years before I was born. Only bleeding Wednesday would do that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
