Interesting choice of quote.

Belloc was an anti-Semetic, anti-Islamic Catholic who asserted that the
Theory of Evolution had been completely discredited.

Someone else who didn't like facts getting in the way of dogmatic personal
belief and superstition.

So using this theory, West Brom are 8 places above where they should be,
simply because they found a bloody good manager to replace the dross
they had previoulsyI rest my case.

 

Again using West Brom as an example, we were just about on equal terms
when they appointed their current manager whilst we continued to battle
along with MM.

 

Of course wages make a difference, as the table below shows, BUT the
need for higher quality should have been staring MM and Steve Morgan in
the face after the struggle last season...I blame Morgan for jumping the
gun with the stadium...rather than spending more on players, but I
understand the timing aspect re the economy..I blame Mick for the
way we play...its horrible sub standard stuff...I think I enjoyed the
championship more.

Here's some more interesting data in the table below.

League rank is the position that the team finished in the league
Wage rank is the position forecast by wages

You'll notice that wages are a great predicitor of league position. 
10 teams are within one position of their prediction. 
15 teams are within two positions of their prediction
18 teams are within three positions of their prediction.

I've sorted the table by the last column which is the difference between
the league and wage ranking. The teams at the top are the ones that
seemingly outperformed their resources.

You'll notice all the good managers are near the top of the list:
Hodgson - Pulis - Redknapp - Ferguson - McCARTHY

The way I see if you can say that either management is important and
Mick is a good manager or management is unimportant.  

There's no room to say that managment is important and Mick is a bad
manager because the facts don't support it.

Team..League Rank...Wage Rank...Difference

So using this theory, West Brom are 8 places above where they should be,
simply because they found a bloody good manager to replace the dross they
had previoulsyI rest my case.

 

Again using West Brom as an example, we were just about on equal terms when
they appointed their current manager whilst we continued to battle along
with MM.

 

Of course wages make a difference, as the table below shows, BUT the need
for higher quality should have been staring MM and Steve Morgan in the face
after the struggle last season...I blame Morgan for jumping the gun with the
stadium...rather than spending more on players, but I understand the timing
aspect re the economy..I blame Mick for the way we play...its horrible
sub standard stuff...I think I enjoyed the championship more.

Thats right, lets have our own poll then.
 
For MM = Against MM  (I'm against but only if a suitable replacement is
available)
 
Should Henry be our first choice defensive midfielder = Should we sign
someone specifically to replace him (I think we need someone better in
his position)
 
I also happen to believe we desperately need another quality striker.

Why bother with a manager when they have so little impact on the the way the

If we got rid of Mick and all the coaching staff we should be able to use their

Interesting point of view from someone that works in insurance, an industry
that is entirely based on the statistical pricing of risk.

Please take the stats I have presented and make them support your agenda.
I can send you the spreadsheet if you want to have a go.

I understand it must be confronting to have long held belief destroyed in
front of your eyes.  I suppose you can always rely on faith and ignore
the facts

 So using this theory, West Brom are 8 places above where they should be,
 simply because they found a bloody good manager to replace the dross they
 had previoulsyI rest my case.

  

 Again using **West Brom** as an example, we were just about on equal
 terms when they appointed their current manager whilst we continued to
 battle along with MM.

  

 Of course wages make a difference, as the table below shows, BUT the need
 for higher quality should have been staring MM and Steve Morgan in the face
 after the struggle last season...I blame Morgan for jumping the gun with
 the stadium...rather than spending more on players, but I understand the
 timing aspect re the economy..I blame Mick for the way we play...its
 horrible sub

you are correct that insurance is very heavily dependant on statistics for 
assessing and pricing for risks.  However, I am not an actuary and my role for 
the best part of 17 years has been to challenge actuaries to ensure that my 
products are affordable and sustainable, in effect disproving many of the stats 
that they use to paint a certain doom  gloom picture.  Actuaries can make 
stats tell whatever story they want them to, but they are very conservative by 
nature and only assess the stats that they think help their argument.  Sound 
familiar Steve?

Let's think outside the square and devise a system whereby each season ticket 
holder is given a one month tenure as team selector.  This does away with the 
need to have a manager and coaching staff but leaves one person that can be 
blamed each month depending on performances (over which they've clearly had no 
effect one).  Save money and remove the unnecessary managerial merry-go-round.

See you're trying to discredit me by the absurd.  The last bastion of a
scoundrel.

I say there is a need for a manager to do the things that managers do, but
that beyond a certain level of competence and experience there is very
little difference in the influence they have on performance.

We need a manager.
My analysis says that Mick is a good one.
We should focus on something that is of more importance than this
superstitious nonsense.

Nothing.  I showed you a table that showed that 18 of 20 teams were within
3 places of the forecast and 15 were within 2 places.  There is an element
of luck and other factors in this as I explained in my earlier response to
Matt.  It's not a perfect model but it explains 90% of variability.
