Major mistakes of MCFC?

Historically, signing Rodney Marsh. Bringing Malcom back and Alan Ball.

Most serious, but as yet not quite widely known, was allowing Shinawatra to take our club to the absolute brink of financial disaster.

Most recently - Starting talks to replace Mancini when the season wasn't half over. And, oh dear (how stupid can it get), turning the speculation to full on rampant by holding a special board meeting on the actual day of the FA cup Final.

not understanding the fans and putting up ticket prices of fans instead of keeping them low and protecting loyal supporters with a platinum level that new seasoncard holders can't join as they would be stuck on gold and have to earn the right to move to platinum by being a regular season ticket holder over many years.

Instead the club are only interesting in making money and they'll find it difficult when they shred the identity of the club and turn us into nothing different from the usual big clubs.

This is how it works.

Watch Steve Lomas = cheap tickets.

Watch yaya toure = expensive tickets.

Its that simple.

Besides platini wouldn't have it any other way.
 
Biggest mistake = return of Big Mal. No doubt about it, put us from a top side to a laughing stock for most of the following 25 years. So much so that most fans of the younger generation dont know we ever competed with the likes of Liverpool for the league, and won a european trophy before them. They see us as second-division side got lucky.
 
Definitely getting rid of Mercer and keeping Allison. Allison was a great coach - give him one player and he would improve him, but Mercer was a proper manager.

Why? We were a premier club of this country from the early 1900s right through to the mid 1970s. We had a stadium built for 90000 in the 1920s; we were so popular in the 1930s we were invited to play a German league XI before the days of European football; we won a European trophy before Liverpool did...Then twenty-five years later or derby games were against Bury and Macclesfield and Stockport were lauding it over us saying they were Manchester's second club as they were in a division above us. We became an absolute joke of a football club. Mistakes were clearly made and it's something I find interesting to read about as it's a part of our history, not something I'm embarrassed about, but rather something I find made us a better set of fans (unfortunately that seems to be creeping away with us being a top club again).
