What if we'd managed to win a few of our away games in 99/2000 to go with our amazing home form?

Or being a pedant over the spelling of "misuse"?

The possible What if's are endless in life. Too many people worry and beat themselves up with what if's. The reality is most what if's don't happen and it certainly isn't worth pondering things in the past that didn't happen.

Unfortunately probably would have made zero difference- Whelan, McAllister & Keane would still have been sold in the summer

I didn't say he was, but Nilsson leaned heavily on him, & we were play off bound until Jim Smith was forced on Nilsson, from which point we didn't win another game.

Interesting one, we'd have had no SISU at least and maybe would have at least attempted to get promoted again in the early 00s?

Ahh I was confused about the MR bit but I was about 17 at the time so it’s a bit hazy from back then.

IIRC he was injured long term before we signed him so probably the same outcome. Sadly.

What if Jarni actually signed for the club? Would that have made any difference?....Looking forward with sky-blue tinted glasses, what if we somehow get promoted this season? Will we survive the first season in the EPL? Does it even matter as we would get parachute payments and be in a better off position financially?

He was fit and playing for Wimbledon at the time, but had had injuries with them previous to this.
The hold up was regarding his past injuries and wrangling over the fee, and agreeing a pay as you play.

What if that massive 28,000 capacity spion kop stand that was planned at the time had ever been built when we first went into division 1 under Jimmy Hill ?

We might still be at Highfield Road.

What if Robbie Keane & Macalister had stayed.

What if we’d won an away game under Strachan.

What if we’d not toured Zimbabwe preseason in the 90’s.

What if we’d stuck with Ian Dowie.

What if we’d never given the manager’s job to Bobby Gould.

What if we’d never left Highfield Road……
