As the official site is looking back in time a bit at the moment, in the first part of a retrospective series on here I thought I would throw the question out. With hindsight and all else, what do you think the biggest mistake the club has made over, say, the last 20 years?






The referee's indecision is final

…. another club bashing exercise, whatever next?






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Would have said selling Vaikona, but frighteningly that’s over 20 years ago now :shock:

I would say being without a fit quality scrum half for too many years.
Only remedied when we signed Sneyd.

Also selling Watts was a big error.

We’ve got more right than wrong though.

Sacking Sharp too soon and replacing him with Agar.

Yep, a classic case of be careful what you wish for

Agreed, it was a terrible decision. Regardless of the poor start to 2008 he deserved a chance to turn it round.

Peter Sharp may of been a nice bloke but he was an assistant promoted beyond his ability just like Agar and Gentle and you could argue Radford

As for biggest mistakes letting Cooke walk destroyed the club - he was on fire at the time and our whole attack was based around him - letting Watts leave is another blunder but not as big as Judas

Cooke leaving was the start of a downward spiral, most of the transfer business in that era was poor, apart from bringing in Willie Manu just about every transfer was a downgrade on what we had in 05/06.

The constant stream of past it or never been it, half backs was a joke.

Sharp should have got longer, Agar got too long.

And in relatively more modern times all the big money signings in 2013 flopped (except Ellis of course) such a high turnover of players wrecked the dressing room and the hype left the fans very disapointed.
