What if Les Ferdinand had decided to sign us for in 1995 instead of Newcastle and he played up front that season with Yorke?
What if Helenius didn't have his shorts pulled down.

As a teenager it feels like every summer Teletext was convincing me we were going to sign him. I guess it was a good lesson for dealing with false hope...

What if NSWE didn’t come in at the vital time they did?What if we had played a full strength team against Spartak Moscow under O’Leary?

What if Gary Shaw didn't get crocked?
Reading Children of the Revolution about Villa in the 1970s and there are a number of What-If moments. What if the Athletic Bilbao Director hadn't died in a car crash and Tommy Docherty had become their manager instead of Villa?Whilst ultimately unsuccessful with Villa, I know a lot of our fans said he gave Villa back some confidence that had been eroded from about 1963.What if Lochhead had scored in the 1971 League Cup Final and we had beaten Spurs?I actually think this could have been a bad thing for us. The winners got into the UEFA Cup and that might have derailed our promotion push in 1972.What if we had been promoted to the 1st Division instead of finishing 3rd in 1973?Presumably Crowe would have rained as manager and Ron Saunders wouldn't have been appointed. Worth pointing out that whilst we were some distance behind 2nd place, this was the last season when only 2 teams were promoted. What if we'd hired Brian Clough instead of Ron Saunders?Clough practically begged to be the Villa boss. If we had given it to him, would we have done a Forest? Or would we miss out on all the success that we had under Saunders? I think Clough may have struggled with us, as he'd have been at loggerheads with Ellis.Any other thoughts on this, or other great What-If moments?
