I first went to Oakwell when I was six years old... that was 1961... I would not change a thing over my SIXTY years of following my beloved team. Had sunshine and tears over those years and have totally loved it all. Would not ever change a second of it all EVER !!
Cracking question.......... but I'd say no. Some mistakes made but some good decisions aswell. I think what we are doing now slightly overtakes the bad bits.
For the record my answer is no. I think we’ve definitely made mistakes and we signed players that didn’t quite make the grade (or at least not yet) but we’ve also signed some absolute gems. I think you have to take the signings as a whole rather than individuals, especially with our transfer policy. I think the managerial appointments have all been good (with the exception of Morais) and have all come at the right time.
I'd change the sacking of Stendel and the 21 word statement. I think that drove a bit of a wedge between fans and owners and was (and still is) disrespectful to someone who gave us a great year of football. With the benefit of hindsight it was the right thing to do, but the manner of it was classless. A proper acknowledgement of a job well done would probably have kept everyone a little closer to being on the same page.
I'd love to change it so we could be there watching. I watched the 1997 cup match the other night and hearing all the crowds clapping and chanting just brought back the atmosphere of a packed Oakwell willing the team on. I don't tend to like the phrase "everything happens for a reason" but it seems to apply to the last 5 years for our football club.
I agree with you & Morais attracts a negative however he was only 3 minutes away from keeping us up , just shows you , fine lines but to answer the question its a definite no from me , you cannot change history just learn from the mistakes .
I’d have let Winnall run the length of the East stand celebrating that goal, only for the Assistant Ref to decide the ball was out, and chalk it off.
Nice one Fi. Can we go one step back and say: on entry to the ground give everyone a plastic pink pig, so that we all can throw it at him when ^^^^^^ happens
Morais. Signing McBurnie in August when we tried Not selling Conor. buying a replacement before selling Moore. Keeping pinnock.
