If you could go back in time...

disagree, we went into decline as soon as Strachan was refused a bit of money by Lowe to spend on players in our European season. That was make or break, and we've been broken.

I agree. That's when/why it all went wrong.

The day Paul Sturrock was sacked, is the day we went rapidly into decline

 

I think you meant appointed not sacked. The moment the club went into decline was when Lowe caved in to 'popular' opinion and got cold feet on re-appointing Hoddle as manager. It's been downhill ever since.

I'd tell my brothers that i didn't want to go to see a football match on my 13th birthday - i'd never have seen Matt Le Tissier play and never become addicted to the game and never fallen in love with saints... and it wouldn't hurt so much today.

Are you Dalek in disguise?

It depends how far back I can go (and only changing Southampton board decisions rather than for example changing WGS's mind so he stayed)

 

2000's Appointed Hoddle instead of Sturrock

1990's Not sacked Chris Nicholl

1980's ...

 

Can't think of much I would have changed in the 80's, maybe pushed for a move to a larger ground? The Taylor report cut the Dell in half and the board should have seen from the way things were going in the mid-eighties that all seater grounds were intevitable. We were averaging over 20,000 in the early eighties but lost 5000 supporters throughout the 90s. If we'd had that extra income then before the Premiership big four monoploy started to take hold we'd be up there with Villa and Everton IMO.

you can't change anything. whatever happened happened, even if you go back in time.

 

seriously, watch Lost.

 

So someone else is still watching as well. Thought I was the only one.

 

I would make Crouch run to the corner flag against Everton rather than having that pathetic shot when it was 2-1. Or stop Lawrie from going to Sunderland.
