What a fantastic debut season I must of had!! Ha. 

I think my first ever signing was Jermaine Pennant! If only I knew then what I knew now! 

Amazing to Think a few seasons later I took arsenal to the CL final and won! 

Just out of curiosity who is the most successful team in England? It looks mighty close between Plymouth and City! Paul?

Success points are awarded for finishing positions in the Premiership ( 12 points for first place 1 point for 12th place ) and after 28 seasons the success points for each club with more than one hundred points are :-

Man City 138
Man United 150
Arsenal 109
Liverpool 107
Newcastle 195
Leeds 109
Birmingham 122
Middsboro 113
Plymouth 229

So the top three Premiership sides are Plymouth, Newcastle and Man United.

If you combine success points from both the Premiership and Championship you get :-

Man City 138+87=215
Man United 150+57=207
Arsenal 109+104=213
Liverpool 107+42=149
Newcastle 195+29=224
Leeds 109+65=174
Birmingham 122+39=161
Middsboro 113+33=146
Plymouth 229+16=245

So in my opinion the honor of top side would have to go to Plymouth.

Most successful Premiership managers ( using the same points system ) :-

Dan Furneaux 148
Dave Cowe 107
Mark Sanderson 157
Geoff Fields 138

and the honor of top Premiership manager goes to Mark.

Fascinating reading thanks Paul. I’d like to say to everyone watch out, as Charlton are coming up the hill but after he last 6 seasons :

3rd, 2nd, 5th, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd it seems to be a bloody big hill!! Lol

Will it ever happen or are we to be bridesmaids forever! 


Great reading about the past managers, shame Mark can’t put in the time he used to, but to be fair it wouldn’t give the rest of us a chance if he did!!

Can you get a list of managers by the amount of trophies they have won too?
