Notts Royal But I’m retrospect, I’d have changed it so we didn’t go up in 2011/12, but strengthened so we were fully ready the following season. We needed more quality.

We weren’t going to get any better in the Championship. We needed a couple of key players after we got promoted. Clyne and Davis instead of Gunter and Guthrie would probably have done it.

To actually answer the question:

I’d go to summer 2007 tell Coppell to sign Jimmy Kebe immediately. I’d also get a young Blaise Matuidi to solve our midfield issues and Jon Mensah to play alongside Andre Bikey.

I think telling them to sign a 16 year old Kevin De Bruyne goes from “correcting a mistake” to “abusing time travel”.

Snowflake Royal
Stranded Probably just gone back to persuade the club not to hire Ron Gourlay.

Tell Madejski to get his money out of print and property and bet on the 2008 financial collapse so he never has to sell us.
Forget Sir John, go back and tell my past self to invest in bitcoins and wot not and he can sell to me instead of the Russian. I'd keep Nigel Howe, Nicky Hammond, Brian McDermott etc in their roles and let Sir John continue to run things the Reading way and take all the publicity if he wants.

Unless of course he was always going to be a Royal until a time travelling Man City fan messed around with time.
