"We finished seventh last season!"

If Rembrandt swished all the colours on his palette together into one colour, and the result was painted on a canvas, would that make the result just as good as any masterpiece he ever painted?

That's the kind of question you are asking.

Which begs the question....what about Rothko ?

Did he not finish a creditable 8th ?

What's the difference between getting served porridge, or a roast dinner?

Are some people here struggling with perspective, or trying to be wishy washy about mid-table obscurity, non-competitiveness, lacklustre football?

Do you recall last season, and did it hold no interest up to the point we finished 7th? How would you feel if the season were over as a competition even sooner? How would you enjoy a relegation struggle - would it compare the same as a promotion season?

But what about the vegans & vegetarians ?............. does a nut roast effect the equation in any way ?....and was the porridge made with soya milk ?

Chelsea? Manchester City, Manchester United, have all done the same for finishing higher.

DW was not sacked because we finished seventh, he was sacked because he compromised his position between the players and the board.

Well you can probably add Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and Bayern Munich to that list as well. And until we're at that level I really do think we're going to have to accept that whoever manages our perennial third-tier club isn't going to be the best in the business - which is why I'm not in the 'Adams Out' camp.

Wilkins must have done something terrible (and the fact we don't know makes it worse) as he wasn't sacked for results; even taking into account the usual excuses that we fluked all the points and that strength-wise the division was on a par with the Conference.
