Imagine if we’d got Steve Cook instead of Dion Sanderson (weren’t we in for him then?) and Isaac Hayden instead of Jeff Hendrick (both rotting in the Newcastle reserves) that fateful season.
Could all have been so different |  | | |  |

Imagine we'd defended 12 corners properly this season - we'd be looking at the playoffs |  |

Kevin Gallen not doing his cruciate against Portsmouth
On a similar theme, who were we playing when Richard Langley and Clarke Carlise both did theirs within 20 mins of each other...
Both scuppered our seasons. [Post edited 21 Feb 10:12]

I remember that match. I have a terrible memory but I do remember thinking WTF when the second one happened, not even knowing how bad it was at the time but it didn’t look good.
Has that ever even happened in any other match with other clubs that you get two cruciate injuries for the same team in one match? #qprcurse. |  | | |

Tango and Cash not selling there shares to the Mittals when we got promoted to the prem in 2011.
Instead we sell to Uncle Tony 1 week before the summer window closes, buying anything that wasn't tied down for stupid money! Buggered up Warnock's summer preperations. And I still think to this day we've never really recovered - all because of that farcical summer of 2011. |  | | |

Not signing Paolo Wanchope.
72 in 23 for Derby after after costing them 2.1 Million less than we paid for Sheron. (19 Goals in 63) |  |

It was at home to Fulham, 2001. I was in the paddocks and giving Brevett stick, he must have been involved in one of the tackles...
We brought on Bruce and Kulcsar to replace Carlisle and Langley, Fulham brought on Karl-Heinz Riedle, who scored the final goal of a glittering career... | | | |

72 goals in 23 matches? That can't be right can it Talli? | | | |

That was Prem 23 in 72; Sorry I forgot the others.
28 in 83 in total and 5 years younger than Sheron. | |

Jim Gregory's dastardly scheme to merge with Fulham to form Fulham Park Rangers or Hammersmith Flyovers or whatever not being scuppered. Where would we all be now if that had gone ahead? | | | |

I maintain that our recent decline started the minute we sold Sir Les to Newcastle in 1995 'Decline Number 1'.
It took us until 2011 to recover - 16 years
Then the wasteful spending on useless has beens by Warnock started the next decline. Exacerbated greatly by Mark Hughes - who in my opinion is the real architect of our current situation. 'arries reign just made what Hughes created even worse.
So the relegation of 2015 was 'Decline number 2'
I believed the damage caused by Hughes in particular would take at least 10 years to recover from.
So perhaps in the 25/26 season we start to see a 'competative' Championship QPR side |  | | |

Despite relegation in 1996 and fierce criticism of asset stripping, Richard Thompson stays on as Chairman, turning down interest from Chris Wright. He continues to run a sustainable model of buying low, selling high. |  | | |

I think we were always going to sell Les back then.
The real issue was how we spent the money that came in... |  | | |

The reason Stewart Houston gave for letting Wanchope go after a trial as he said he did not need another wide player! | | | |

for me i think back to "warnock sort it out " chants as we struggled to draw at mk dons , next day, sacked. did our board hear "warnock out" and missed the "sort it" bit?? we were only bottom 3 in prem but had a game in hand due to fixtures and had managed to get the result needed to get out of drop zone.
and later appointing chris ramsay, still have no idea about that . | | | |

Exactly.
IMO we sold Ferdinand at exactly the right time, but we didn't get a single useful player in return. We might as well have burnt the cash.
(I always through Simon Osborn might have been decent, but we might as well have not bothered since Wilkins wouldn't play him.) | | | |

Imagine the ref blew up 13 seconds early in the play off final and Derby win on pens and Zamora was just viewed as another mercenary.
Imagine Adam hadn't met Eve
Imagine Trump In White House and Boris in number ten and you could get arrested simply for going outside more than once in a day.
Nah that's just stupid |  |

Winning the game v Spurs in the 95/96 relegation season when we were 2-0 up. Also Cantona not being allowed to score in the 123rd minute.
If Tommy had squared it.
If Venables had stayed a couple more seasons. | | | |

Hateley was the worst. Clearly finished and expensive. Better options available for that money.
Osborn seemed like a good idea at the time. Ned Zelic won the Bundesliga and played in a UEFA cup final with Dortmund before joining us so again didn't look like the worst idea at the time. | | | |
