Purely hypothetical time machine question

I would actually say in all fairness the day after Walter left as manager at the end of the 1997-98 season.

 

It was at this point when Murray appointed Advocaat and started to chase a dream that was to ultimately end up costing us everything. The overspending in that 3 year period between 1998-2001 was totally insane given the possible financial rewards, and resulted in us going to around £80M of debt and a decade of downsizing.

 

When Murray's own empire hit the skids in 2008 when the world economy crashed and the bank effectively took over the major decisions at our club, it was bad enough, then when the bank forced through a sale to a new owner that the previous board had warned not to, the club was fecked.

 

It can all be traced back to the Advocaat era, and Murray's irresponsible spending spree.

 

I think that makes a lot of sense. Aye well, we weren't to know.

I'd probably go back to the just before UEFA cup final. Try to win the game and quadruple, avoid the riots and warn Murray to sell the club to someone who could cover the EBT bill instead of spending big that summer and dropping us right in the shit (Lloyds) along with himself.
