So hindight is the best of things. If you were the manager back in August last year, what would have been the top three things would you have changed, given the way this season has turned out?

i would have signed Halford, Idiakez, John Halls, Eastwood so the team would have looked like this

                        Green

Halls     Shackell     Doherty     Drury

Halford   Safri    Idiakez    Huckerby

          Ashton    Eastwood/Leon

they were all available for cheap

Nigel W, I would have resigned whilst my standing in football circles still had some substance.  Now everyone knows I''m rubbish and have got lucky am stubborn and arrogant try to alienate the fans, who will employ me know once Delia sees the trees.

1. Keep Edworthy, and tempted Svenson into staying
2. Beat Palace to the signing of Morrison - would have been great with ashton.
3. Not bothered with thorne, loiis jean,  and jarret.

Operating with hindsight I would have done the following:

1)  Sold Ashton in the summer to have extra money to spend earlier in the season.
2)  Adopted a transfer policy of signing players no older than 24. 
3)  Asked Dave Williams to coach the senior side.

Kept Eddy

Signed a right winger

Generally concentrated on buying players who have high quality or a lot of potential

francis and mckenzie fighting would have done us good

mulryne, holt and svensson were all crap anyway but i suppose they are better than hughes, thorne and jarret

Please explain how you would have beat Palace to signing of Morrison?  We bid for and spoke to him first.  However he is a London lad who chose to move back to London and the club that made his career.  How could City compete with that other than move the club to London?

I''m sorry to upset people but this thread just goes to show why the board don''t give much thought to the Worthy Out campaign.  Some of the things posted are just silly and plain nonsense.  If you put some of these points to the board you would get the following answers.

Someone would have kept Francis, how?  Would you have chained him up at Colney and let him out only on match days?  The guy wanted to leave and there is very little you can do about it.

Apparently we could have signed Idiakez cheaply.  If that''s the case then why didn''t he leave cheaply when Wolves put in two offers for him?

We should have kept Svensson.  Svensson envoked a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave for £50k.  He want back to his home country to play for his favourite club, it''s not as if we let him leave!

i would certainly have kept Eddy in preference to MLJ or JC.

Svennsson (in hindsight) was a big loss despite being prone to injury.

Anyone who thinks Mulryne was worth keeping is deluded.

I don''t think anyone could have anticipated how poor PT, DE, AH, CR and JJ were to be.

Hey it didnt take much to find out how poor AH and DE were.  JJ looks good everywhere else he playes, CR is the ultimate journeyman. PT just looks past it at 32 going on 33.

I don''t konw how, and am not blaming nw for it. In hindsight though, morison would have been a good signing and so signing him in the summer would have been good. I understand it would have been difficult to beat palace, you also made a point about svenson. I realise he used a clause in his contract, but if we had offered him a 2 yeardeal, rather than 1 he may have decided to stay. In sweden he felt that he had more security i suppose.

[Hucka Hucka Huckerby 0]

I would have kept Eddy & put Dave Williams in charge of coaching the first team again! I then would have bid for Koumas & not signed Hughes or Etuhu. This would have meant having a decent right back all season & playing football as opposed to hoofball!!!!!

I think the question was " If you could do three things". On this thread you''re not alone in not being able to count.

By giving a top 3, you have to think about which mistakes were the most regrettable, rather than just listing them all. So in fact anyone who puts more than 3 is contributing nothing and, like you, they need more practice with their computer machines.
