Joining in .... yes. The Campbell and Cooper sales I think. Keep them and we might have been in the PL the last 20 years.

Or conversely, just for a another 2 or 3 years and eventually gone down anyway with Wimbledon and Coventry instead of Bradford(?)./ Charlton that year.
Or even stayed up and actually become Charlton by 2006 ish having decided a few consecutive top half finishes was old hat and hounding out the.manager before spending the better part of 20 years hence dreaming of the giddy heights of 21st in the Championship.

Yeah, while I'd love to believe keeping Cooper and Campbell (the former wanted to go "home" anyway and wasn't really a Bassett centre half, so was less avoidable) would have led to us being permanent premier league members, the unstable nature of the Soar/Scholar/Wray ownership would almost certainly have fucked us up before very long anyway.

We've done this before, but Guru's list had the correct number 1 position - selling Super Lars Bohinen was the one.
-
I'm not sure he "wanted" to go home, until it was made clear (by Bassett agreeing to sell him to West Ham) that he wasn't wanted. AIUI, he told the club, he would only leave for Middlesbrough, and sure enough a deal was agreed with them within a few weeks.
As you say, he wasn't a Bassett centre half at all (we started the promotion season with Chettle and Hjelde as the CB and Cooper didn't play in defence until late September, after Hjelde got injured, having initially been picked in midfield) -
Hold on, in Sliding Doors she ends up with the same bloke in both versions doesn't she. How it happens is different, but the end result is the same?
-
And final destination, they all die in the same order that they would have in the crash (I haven’t seen any sequels). The plot of the film is literally fate refusing to be confounded.

You insufferable old romantic.
Why 30? Buying Ian Wallace for over a million quid, when that was a lot, saw the end of the golden period of our history.

Peter Taylor to Derby.
-
He retired first.
-
The main issue here is that I didn’t recall the plot very well.

Just like we ended up in the Prem. Just by different routes
So to keep going with analogy, the question is probably what seemingly inocuous thing changed our route. Thus most of our examples were probably fairly seismic at the time…
