dog Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Obviously we've had a few of our own (Brian Vs Sam and the results of that), buying Ravenelli (and others). I was wondering what others might see as being the worst decision made by a club. And its long term implications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby - easy, Tommy Docherty, greatness went to circus merry go round and mediocrity; ruined my childhood. Others - Coventry City ownership change and stadium debacle. EFL or whatever it was called allowing Wimbledon to move to M.K, completely sacrificed the true Dons fans (whatever their small number, they deserved better).

LB_DCFC Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 PSG buying Neymar. Caused rapid inflation of transfer prices as a whole (they were already increasing but this transfer pushed the fees up dramatically as it more then doubled the previous transfer record), forcing barca to replace him,making them grossly overpay for Dembele, which then set the precedent. Damages the long term security of the global game, as we stray ever closer to the European Super League in order to fund the transfers. Accelerates the collapse of the transfer market as prices stray ever higher. Puts clubs in increased danger of insolvency as owners invest more and therefore risk more, and as FFP regulation becomes more stringent to stop these types of transfers, smaller clubs with smaller revenues suffer to a greater extent as a result as 1) the owners can't invest as much a the big clubs so the gap continues to increase and 2) If they fall fowl of the rules, they don't have the legal teams in order to fight the rules as Man City have, so will suffer greatly as a result. Also, as a player he just isn't worth the hassle and is not fit consistently enough to properly contribute in the Champions League. Exceptional talent, that, I'd say, has had a negative effect on PSG as a whole over the past 2 years (though this is mainly due to the financial ramifications of the move) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaLocks Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Turning a blind eye to the obvious safety issues that were a part of overcrowded terraces that led to Hillsborough. It's not being an after timer, it was blatant but they chose to ignore it and as a result 96 people died. Sorry to throw a mood bomb on the thread but it is the answer.

Mucker1884 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 After making my debut as a Rams fan on the day we received the (proper) division One Champions Trophy back in '75, and automatically assuming it will always be this good, my decision to make this a permanent relationship does occasionally leave me flummoxed... in hindsight! #notthebestgloryhunterintheworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't argue with the decision to sack him and I was in favour of PC as most were. From those 4 decisions I could only say that the appointment of PC was ultimately a terrible decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to my wife that we should just sack him after that so the momentum was there at least in my mind. I still think he continues to fail by losing motivation or energy. Nothing that he has done since makes me wonder what we have missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltRam Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 A bit off topic I suppose, but from our point of view, Maxwell not selling to Pickering the year before we went down. If Arthur Cox could have had the chance to build on that Saunders/Wright side, with Prem money coming in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
