Midlands Robin Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Someone a few pages back posted Barton's win ratio compared to Garner's. I always think that in these circumstances win ratios are the wrong metric to use. A manager could have 1 win and 4 losses in 5 games and have the same win ratio as one with 1 win and 4 draws. For a true appreciation of absolute shiteness you have to look at the "loss ratio" Garner lost 17 in 33 for 52% Biffer Barton lost 17 in 24 for 72% To put it another way, Garner scored points in almost half his league games while Barton can just about score points in a quarter (oh how ironic, quarters?) 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a bigger picture issue, too. Garner had a dreadful record but his clear plan was to sign loads of players in their early 20s who had been let go by the likes of Palace & Fulham & try to produce a team that still had time on its side to improve. This plan also had the bonus that should one of them do so well & attract the attention of a side up the pyramid then they’d get some funds to improve the squad. This is a coherent strategy. Barton on the other hand has signed 36 & 37 year olds who were without clubs (& in the case of Leon Clarke, who had 2 hamstring injuries last season & a back operation), plus a load of 30 something ex-Fleetwood players (or Scousers), there is no plan, no possibility these players are anything but on their way down. It is absolutely incredible that Wael has indulged him to bring in 20 players & massively increase the age profile & presumably wage bill. They are in huge trouble, I’m delighted to say.
