The day Paul Sturrock was sacked, is the day we went rapidly into decline

 

That would be mine too. The day Rupert showed he had no respect for the institution and role that is the 'football maanger.'

Accept we were the 20th club in the country and like WBA, Brum, Sunderland etc bounce back up.

Not panic, reduce wages by 50%, keep a disinterested manager etc.

And all this was expressed by most supporters at the time.

disagree, we went into decline as soon as Strachan was refused a bit of money by Lowe to spend on players in our European season. That was make or break, and we've been broken.

I agree. That's when/why it all went wrong.

Agree with Saint Stimp.

Did Strachan ever have the hip op he mentioned?

The appointment of Wigley was wholly wrong and the start of our demise...

 

Agreed. Sturrock was the wrong appointment but once made we should have stuck with him.

I think you meant appointed not sacked. The moment the club went into decline was when Lowe caved in to 'popular' opinion and got cold feet on re-appointing Hoddle as manager. It's been downhill ever since.

I'd tell my brothers that i didn't want to go to see a football match on my 13th birthday - i'd never have seen Matt Le Tissier play and never become addicted to the game and never fallen in love with saints... and it wouldn't hurt so much today.

Are you Dalek in disguise?

...and change ONE Saints-related thing only, what would you change?

 

That Saints pedal bin I got for Christmas 1982. It was useless.

I wanted a mug.

Banned James Beattie from driving for life and made him do community service everyday. As soon as he was back in the Lambo the ego was back and no muffin was safe!

It depends how far back I can go (and only changing Southampton board decisions rather than for example changing WGS's mind so he stayed)

 

2000's Appointed Hoddle instead of Sturrock

1990's Not sacked Chris Nicholl

1980's ...

 

Can't think of much I would have changed in the 80's, maybe pushed for a move to a larger ground? The Taylor report cut the Dell in half and the board should have seen from the way things were going in the mid-eighties that all seater grounds were intevitable. We were averaging over 20,000 in the early eighties but lost 5000 supporters throughout the 90s. If we'd had that extra income then before the Premiership big four monoploy started to take hold we'd be up there with Villa and Everton IMO.

If I could go back in time it would be to the time when I took this really fat chick back to my bed, got her naked and went for a muff-dive. I would ask her to take a shower first. It stank like a rotting skunk. I threw up.

Posted
you can't change anything. whatever happened happened, even if you go back in time.

 

seriously, watch Lost.

 

So someone else is still watching as well. Thought I was the only one.

 

I would make Crouch run to the corner flag against Everton rather than having that pathetic shot when it was 2-1. Or stop Lawrie from going to Sunderland.

I wish I had never found out about this forum (and its predecessor). Spent far too much of my life reading the nonsense and adding to it.;)

Nearly allowed it to eat in to the revision too much in the Summer of Allen.
