Crazy decisions of years gone by.

Just checking some stats and I noticed in 78/79 season Gary Owen scored 14 goals for us. We sold him. The year before Barnes scored 11 and we sold him.

Were these two of the most stupid decisions we ever made as a club?

I'm sure there are plenty more.

Selling Paul Walsh and getting Gerry crainey in return.
Still gives me the horrors.

"don't worry lads, we don't need another goal to stay up, just keep it in the corner"

"Shall we go to York away?"

I thought putting crystals underneath the corner flags was fucking bizarre.

I remember one of those two were in tears when they left Maine Road.

Letting Jo go just as he was about to come good?

Allowing that so-called sheikh to buy the club - What has he ever done for us?

I'm sure he got bored and left us in the lurch years ago..

there are a few but without doubt the main one was sacking Joe Mercer. Allison ruined us.
