They were 5-4-3 in the league when Money Mart came in.
I'll ignore cup games cos no one gives a fuck when gauging form.
They finished with 16-10-16.
This makes his record this season with York W11 D6 L13. That is fucking shocking for a million pound full time budget in a part time regional league. And you have to wonder, given the expectations and resources at York - how 5-4-3 was bad enough to get Mills the sack, yet 11-6-13 is deemed good enough for Gray to keep his job?
I really, really want to see Gray pushed before he jumps, so he has that big black mark on his CV. Sadly I think he'll get away with another job ie Pools before York give him his P45
Tommy took over Darlo and we were 5-7-6.
We finished with 14-13-15
This makes Tommy's record W9 D6 L9, which is a better PPG than Gray.
And that was achieved with a quarter of Gray's York budget, with a 50k cut in the Darlo playing budget to absorb when he took over, with a team on a losing streak, with Gray being straight in for our two best players at that time, and with some players not up to scratch on 2 year Money Mart deals taking up a chunk of what budget was left.
Now I'm not using these stats to claim Tommy is a genius because his overall record is still only average - but given the turmoil when he was taking over, and the strides taken on and off the field during his tenure, I have faith that good things are coming.
No the reason I've posted these stats is not to butter up Tommy, but to show Gray for the fraud that he is. He's been completely found out.
