SiLvOR Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Think Keegan winning the league 95/96 could have changed everything in English football for a few years. Assumption being Keegan staying for longer, then Robson coming right after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Not sure if it counts but we missed a trick during the 70’s, 80’s, not bringing in Clough, who would have loved to come back to the North East. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 1 hour ago, STM said: Partizan Belgrade This. More specifically Woodgate’s needless back heal in the strawberry corner leading to the counter attack to the goal that levelled the tie. Not that it’s scarred me to this day… 😆 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 All the biggies mentioned. Missing out on Jeffers and Zenden and getting Bellamy and Robert instead. Peter Schmeichel getting those reebok boots as a kid instead of getting into farming business. Back to back champions whilst he's covered in pig shit would have been sweet.

kingxlnc Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Investing more when we qualified for CL instead of just buying Lee Bowyer on a free ditto after we finished 5th and only bought Anita Not being tight for some of Graham Carr’s choices, eg Salah, Aubemeyang etc buying Ronaldo instead of Viana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been amazing and then seen what happened to Carroll and Hughton and wanted out after the end of his first season It definitely wasnt HBA's debut for what it's worth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 The conversation between Robson and Shepherd in 2003, when Sir Bob proposed that we accept Liverpool's offer for Shearer and use the proceeds to buy Emile Mpenza. Robson and Shearer were headed on a collision course, but Shepherd had the dream of Shearer taking over as manager, and of course he was the local hero. We backed the wrong man.

Yes, I remember that. But he was basically finished after 92/93 and a disaster at Bayern Stoichkov too according to a Euro 96 report and Stoichkov himself.
