Post season thread

Worryingly the Telegraph has an article suggesting we have allready blown our best chance of returning to the PL based on recent statistics.

In those statistics, how many clubs were of similar size or stature or conversely how many were the absolute shambles we'd become?

We defy statistics. Statistics can fuck off.

Our stature is of a lower half 2nd Division club that is still making huge mistakes with player acquisitions, only 1 of the last 18 that failed to bounce back the first season have been subsequently promoted.

Confirms my worries. What the fuck is Wyness doing here?

Quite frankly what other clubs did in other seasons has the square root of fuck all to do with us next season.

I went back to 2010 and by my reckoning the clubs that haven't been promoted back to the top flight are Portsmouth, sha, Blackpool, Bolton, Blackburn, Wolves, Wigan, Reading, QPR, Fulham, Cardiff, Norwich and Villa.

You are right it is not a square rooot it is 18 to 1.

When Saturday Comes magazine has a very good article covering our season. some nice pics too including the Holte during the tribute to Ugo.

But without sounding arrogant - are any of them the same size and stature of AVFC? Most of them are either financially skint or not an attractive option to move to

Because the gate money is now insignificant our size and stature means fuck all except for the weight of expectation.
What is becoming abundantly clear is that unless you are in the elite group of clubs which we are not, then sound management and structure is imperative.
I am not convinced that we have that in place or that we have the right people to achieve it.
