thinking about the universe where wayne rooney goes to newcastle in 2004
here are some thoughts:

2005: newcastle don't sign michael owen, he goes to liverpool and benitez hates him
2006: chelsea sign wayne rooney instead of shevchenko, win 3rd league title
2007: giuseppe rossi stars for man utd before getting injured
2009: having been the side's second most important player for two years, carlos tevez signs permanently for man utd and ferguson builds the side around him
2008: having shown he can build a more long lasting side, barcelona hire jose mourinho as their new manager.

pep guardiola remains as barca b coach.
2011: after winning back to back la liga titles, mourinho's barcelona shockingly implode. pep guardiola appointed his replacement, has to make do with physical midfield as xavi and iniesta were sold.
