Post by: PeterWithesShin on May 30, 2024, 11:46:49 PM: Jack leaving. If he stayed our results would most likely been better, so Dean doesn't get potted when does. Which means no Gerrard hiring and firing, things which lead to Unai and where we are now. Plus our FFP would have been way worse so who knows what the squad would have looked like by now.

On the flip side maybe we just won the PL again under Dean and Jack in that other universe.

- The ref who sent off James Chester
- Mark Bunn's Olsenesque performance.
- Glenn Whelan's atrocious penalty

Heroes all.

Post by: Rudy Can't Fail on May 31, 2024, 12:14:08 AM: For me it all falls down to Roberto di Matteo taking the job and completely ignoring for pure arogance the more knowledgeable
Steve Clarke. We hired them as a double. Had he hadn't been such an arsehole who knows where we would be. I really look forward to the full story one day. Even today I know between the two there's only one I would want. Fortunately that ship has sailed.

Post by: PeterWithesShin on May 31, 2024, 12:30:45 AM: Considering the time he did listen we ended up with Tshibola suggests ignoring him was wise.

Post by: Matt C on May 31, 2024, 01:38:24 AM: It feels like some parallel universe now to consider Steve Clarke, Roy Keane and Ray Wilkins were all assistant managers here in the not so distant past.

Haha, sounds like something Basil Fawlty would come out with.

I had this sent to me twice on whattsapp so it's made an impression. Very amusing read.
