So we can only compare when they all play EXACTLY the same number of games? Dont get Stats do you?

I like a good stat me. Lets look at Lamberts LEAGUE record with us and how that compares to predecessors and more importantly the relegated teams over the past 5 years: Paul Lambert Played 27 Won 5 Drew 9 Lost 13 Points per game = 0.89 To put that in context the league record of his predecessors: Mcleish 1.00 ppg Houllier 1.24 ppg MON 1.49 ppg www.tinyurl.com/avfcpremcomparison As you can see the decline has been shocking. That only started what is the point of my article. It made me think; "how many points per game did the relegated teams get last year?" So I looked it up and the 4 seasons before that to make it thorough. What I found makes the current situation even more scary. In 4 of the past 5 years our current form would have relegated us. The Full tables can be seen at: www.tinyurl.com/avfcform But with our current ppg of 0.89 and Goal Difference. These are the teams that would have stayed above us on form over a season: 11/12 Bolton 36pts 0.95ppg 10/11 Blackpool 39pts 1.03ppg Small heath 39pts 1.03ppg 08/09 Newcastle 34pts 0.89ppg (Goal diff 7 better than ours) 07/08 Reading 36pts 0.95ppg Small Heath 35pts 0.93ppg If this form continues, the only thing I can see is Relegation.

Given the last two had a negative spend that cant be that hard!

Its almost like the first point is a lie.

thats not all. He fails in every level: www.tinyurl.com/lernerslostit He's not bankrolling us. He's lending us money. Whilst he makes the losses.

He is getting a wage and has the club owing him every penny he's invested with interest. So in a way he is.

Yup.

Agh a pedant as well as sarcastic..... This is why I stay away from vt. and ironically dream of the 90's when we won cups!

I'll inform 1990 of your humour when i tell it to go away.

we celebrate abd play two good strikers and wingers and sell gabby?? [/dream]

its fairly obvious that some people like relegation material. and vimto

Fixed

Maybe a slow steady growth instead of boom and bust would have been the outcome then. We'll never know. Just surviving year and year from now on will be the key. Its a bit like turning 18 and spending every night drinking hideous amounts of alcohol and partying in the top 6 clubs for 4 years. Then overnight for the doctor/solicitor tells you you have no liver or money left and you will have to survive never having a drink again and on the dole. Me? Im saying lets get a liver transplant and move on..... others are saying we had a good run and hey sometimes vimto is a really good treat. It aint Leffe is it?

and that is why we made such losses the last financial year as Lerner didnt know what a wage structure was.

Whats is his purpose? Just to balance out the midfield so we have a headless chicken with no end game on each side? think ive just answered that.
