What are the best and worst football decisions ever?

 

Off the top of my head:

 

Worst

Bernard leaving Newcastle

Choosing Owen over Torres

Keegan saying Batty would score that penalty in WC98

Alan Smith leaving Man United, unless you're Man United.

 

 

Best

Bellamy over Jeffers

Ginola over Solako

did they choose owen over torres or was it just he didn't want to come here ?

 

 

I read Shepherd quoted somewhere (cant be arsed to find the link) saying that if we hadn't bagged Owen then we were going to bid around £25 million for Torres. Whether he would have come or not is another matter.

Shevchenko to Chelsea

Veron to Man United and Chelsea

Robinho going to Man City could very well be a terrible decision.

 

Argentina taking off Riquelme vs Germany in WC06 is probably the worst tactical decision I've ever witnessed.

Worst - Selling Sir Les

30 yr old carrying injuries and you can get back what you paid............only a bad decision when shearer got injured.

 

That was one of Shepherd's better decisions if looked at objectively.

Luis Saha.

 

Man United and Everton thinking Beardsley wasn't good enough.

Greame Taylor bringing on someone (help needed with who it was) instead of Shearer in a WC cup qualifier IIRC.

We didn't sell Chopra, his contract was up and we offered him a 1 year extension he turned it down and signed for Cardiff for a compensation fee decided by tribunal.

Wasn't Chopra out of contract so we were only entitled to "compensation".

 

He is a £500,000 player anyway even if the unwashed were stupid enough to pay 10 times that for him.
