If you could change 1 moment from Wolves history

[Templeton Peck]

what would it be?

Nicked from Twitter.

Very interested to see what you lot think.

I remember someone once saying we were going to appoint Martin O'Neill or McGhee?? No idea if this was true?

Then I thought about not building the John Ireland or McGinlay getting sent off. Must be better ones though.

 

[Tredman]

McGinlay for me.

[I know DW will be along shortly to say we weren't good etc, but still - that drive back from Notlob is my worst moment in football.]

Edit - the first Geoff Thomas serious injury felt like a sliding doors moment.

Give Dean Saunders enough laxatives that he can't leave the house because of his explosive Diarrhea....

 

[Sniffer]

Gerard Deulofeu coming on as sub.

Wolves haven't reached an FA Cup final in my lifetime and the celebrations would have been epic.

 

[YoungWolf]

I still quite often think about the fact that we were basically a top six performing team, in European competition and a fucking global pandemic derailed all that.

Nuno taking off Diogo Jota....

The 5th minute of the game at Arsenal on the 29th November 2020.

Yeah, I was going to say fucking Covid too

Before that I kept pinching myself that such a great thing was happening at our club and wondering, Wolves style, what would put a stop to it. Then came the answer...

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Either the McGinlay red card or, preferably, the result from the 1st Leg. We battered them at Molineux and should have ended the tie in that match alone.

Dendoncker sticking his foot out at Wembley or Covid 19.
That pandemic screwed us over big time along with Arsenal. We get top 6 comfortably the timeline of next season is altered to so
The Raul incident probably doesn’t happen either, Nuno stays in a far more positive mind set etc

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

McGinlay for me.

Agreed - the driven back from Burnden was the worst I've felt. Worse than any of the cup semi finals or any of the other play off semi finals.

To go different from what's already been picked, appoint someone better than Dave Jones in 2001 and give them the same budget with the proviso that you have at least one eye on resale values.

The 90s were a missed opportunity but that second go with that kind of money still should have got us up and kept us there for years.

I can vaguely remember Danny Hegan hitting the crossbar v Spurs in the UEFA cup final and me going off to bed crying
(I think)
I did the same when England drew 1-1 with Poland and failed to qualify for the WC.
50+years of personal footy hurt and counting

John Ireland sacking Stan Cullis.

Just watched the highlights on YouTube. Don't see Hegan hitting the crossbar, long shot, yes. Saved by Jennings.
If we'd have had Jennings and they Phil Parkes, we'd have won that.

It’s not exactly a “moment”, but I would have paid a lot to watch Bakary Sako play in the Premier League as one of ours.

 

[Deano]

I started going in the 90s but I was still young really so have hit and miss recollection until the late 90s. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if we came up in the early to mid 90s when the branding to the Premier League was still in it's infancy. You'd obviously still have the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool sized clubs ahead but there's still a feeling with some other clubs that even if they get relegated to the Championship it's only going to be for a season or two at most with little danger of them getting stuck down there for any period. I'm thinking the likes of West Ham, Newcastle, Villa, Everton etc.

Might be nonsense and something could happen that proves it not to be true but when one of those types do go down you always get the sense they will be back before long where as there seems a lot more variance to it if a Wolves/Brighton/Brentford get relegated. You've got some decent sized clubs like Forest and Sheffield Wednesday that were in the Premier League at it's inception that have spent more time out of the league than in it now, but is that just bad decisions at the time or how the initial years of that money was invested ?

 

[jd1981]

With the Bolton Semi Final it was heartbreaking but I think we’d have struggled in the final v Reading.
That last minute goal at Palace still irks me in 1997, linesmen raises his flag ref ignores and plays on giving the goal.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wednesday have just been a train wreck for 25 years

We had the money to match Blackburn/Newcastle in the early/mid 90s (in say 1991 neither of them were better off than Wolves on the pitch) but no one at the club who had a clue about football

 

[Tredman]

Ah yeah, might revise my decision and suggest ‘appointing Jonathan Hayward’.
