Just want to say, I've been coated on here for the better part of 4 years for saying exactly this. Not exactly a 'pessimist' or a 'moaner' now, am I? He's taken us from a largely debt free PL club to fighting FFP and staring League One in the face within 6 years. What's happened to our football club isn't exactly a shocking series of events for some of us.

Yet you criticise the use of stats? Interesting mindset mate, if unsurprising.Originally posted by upperloft View Post"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Have you forgotten the state of this club when we came up? Our summer signings were DJ Campbell and Jay far king Bothrooyd... we had no chance of survival. We lost opening game embarrassingly. You think that Tango and Cash were ever gonna spend after that?Originally posted by bakes8 View Post"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Did you sleep your way through 2010/11? We had a championship winning sqaud, a squad of players that was more than good enough to have a go at survival.Originally posted by nasser95 View Post
We're miles off where we were then and to suggest an alternate reality scenario that supports your viewpoint just looks like folly.Comment

But you're a stats man and their stats were better than Tone's (look at money spent against points accrued and you will find that Uncle has one of the worst records in the history of the game.)Originally posted by nasser95 View Post
Quite apart from the transfer market, Uncle has presided over some awful, awful decisions in terms of staff appointments. The stats on those don't lie either.
A footnote. JFH's record at Northampton is even worse than it was here (22.7!). So at least we're not the only ones making suicidal appointments.....Comment
