Given we've been running at a 9th average over 5 years and a 15th average over the last 2, under dogs in most games are what we are...

Always good to take out the highest and lowest outliers when taking an average IMO

I worded it wrong - it's not a seasonal average (taking the final position of each season) but a cumulative of points from all games played.

Yes but surely somewhat skewed by last season when we won the Europa?

There's always mitigating circumstances that need to be accounted for - the overall picture though that is we haven't been very good for a long while

3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 4th, 8th, 5th, 17th*

Average position = 5th if taking out the highest and lowest finishes as clear outliers.

(The above also shows what schmucks we were sacking Pochettino)

Why are you referencing Poch years when discussing the current squad of players? That's a lot of heavy lifting that Davies would be doing

I just picked 10 years as a reasonable time frame. The current squad of players have only been here this season.

 

[Lilbaz]

Poch and Redknapp both failed to get past the best of the rest point.

Both were still mainly operating under a zero net spend regime.

With some of the best players in the world in their squads.

Yes. Although did we have as good a squad as others?

Then it begs the question is it about the manager or the players? I'd say both. When both managers took over though neither squad was considered to have some of the best players in the world in them.

At the end of the day though it's a lot more complicated than we're crap now because we hired a manager from a "little team".

There is more to it, but I defy anyone (even Ange) to fail with Modric and Bale in a team.
