villa4europe Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 And yet in those 4 years how much pressure has he been put under? Bit of booing, lots of grumbling, chants once that I've heard (burnley away) So much apathy around us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 All that table shows is that we've been in a relegation battle in each of the last 4 seasons. We're down there with a good 4 or 5 other teams with the differences being marginal, especially considering it's over a period of a few years. All of the teams who could be worse have either been relegated or newly promoted and not included. So what does it tell us apart from what we already know? Bit of sensationalism there. I can see why that table makes for bad reading for Newcastle though, given how much they spent in that time. Just this summer they spent about 40M on top of what was already a good squad built over 4 years. When you spend that much each season you expect not to be among the bottom. But for us, regardless of who's our manager we would be there or thereabouts, unless he's exceptionaa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Bottom in four of those tables and bottom but one in the other four tables. You have to hand it to the Lambert ,he is consistently bad if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) That actually is pretty rubbish! The differences are so tiny, they are barely worth talking about. It could quite easily be that in a couple of games time, those stats show us that we are going backwards.

ozvillafan Posted December 30, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2014 How a manager with such a record keeps his job only Learner knows ! Freudian slip. In the time Lerner has been here he has made many, many mistakes.... ... I'm not convinced he has learned from any of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electronicmaji Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The real surprise is that a team that invests the least in it's squad of any Premiere league side still has managed to not be relegated when there are teams out there that have spent in one year what we've spent in the last 3 and have been relegated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Good god that chart really shows how shit we've been. I'm glad 2014 is over. Lambert's record over the 12 months is P-40 W-10 D-9 L-21 GF-33 GA-61 GD- -28 Amazing he's kept his job. Ridiculous he got a new 4 year deal.

a m ole Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Those tables have 15 teams in them, and we have finished 16th, 15th and 15th. Why are any of you surprised? Absolutely nothing to talk about there. If it was cut off at 6 teams it makes grim reading for Liverpool. Stick a total player wages and net transfer spend next to the team names in the chart and see what you find. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby, grealish, guzan, delph, Cole, Richardson all available to Lambert for the grand total of 0 pounds spent on transfer fees. Are they all shit and useless because of that?

So you'll only look at certain statistics to suit your side of the argument and you'll ignore everything else? He didn't say anything about it being the ultimate way of judging a manager, all he did was highlight additional areas that should be acknowledged that aren't shown up in that chart.
