2009. We were in the top 4 and looked to cement it by being linked with Falcao and Arshavin. We signed Heskey.
That whole period, I swear MON just went insane. Buying Heskey when anyone with half a brain could see that he wasn't in any way shape or form what was required, or even the best available that we could get. Then throwing away the game against CSKA Moscow when we had IMO a very good chance of winning the UEFA Cup that season. It was just a month or so when he seemed to lose all common sense.
Addendum: The route to the final that year would've been:
2nd rd - CSKA Moscow
3rd rd - Shakhtar Donetsk (eventual winners)
QF - Marseille
SF - Dynamo Kyiv
F - Werder Bremen
