Crazy Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 When the January 2015 transfer window closed, we'd signed Bent, Ince, Lingard, Albentosa and Warnock giving us strength and depth in every position. We were top of the table (or maybe 2nd). Not only was I sure we were going to get promoted, but I was pretty sure we'd win the league with several games to spare.

Phoenix Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Got to say when we signed Fabriiiiziooo Ravanelli, I had a frisson of excitement. Wasn't he there when we got relegated? I thought that with the players we had at the time we'd rip that league up. Turns out he was better at darts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I was convinced that Lampard would see the situation at Chelsea as a lose-lose opportunity that came too soon and would stay here a couple more seasons instead of failing at Chelsea! I also thought Nigel Clough would be the modern version of his dad! Sadly he appeared unable/unwilling to have certain characters at the club, whereas his dad would man-manage them. I was convinced Mason Bennett would be a 20gl a season centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I thought Bennett would develope after his debut with such a young age. I've never been more wrong in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How wrong I was!! 2) Derek Hales - As a child I was beyond excited that we had signed the bearded Charlton goal machine. 3) Nigel Pearson - I was very optimistic that his ‘tough’ management would sort us out. You might be the confessional winner with number 2 there Van. Dear oh dear. Mine would be John Gregory as manager. Thought he would be awesome.

After the game he did it to give away a goal, Brian asked him if he'd bought a house in Nottm. 'No Boss' was the reply. 'Don't bother' said Brian and he never played again. Just saying.
