Here's some more stats:
Out of 8 summer signings only Andy Fleming has started more than half the games.
Our top scorer has scored just 7 goals with three of those coming in one game. Stewart Drummond, who some people want to pension off, is second highest in the goals tally again.
Our player with most assists is at Scunthorpe and the player with the second highest is at Torquay United.
Our left back thinks he plays for a 'pub team'
Funny or depressing?

our youth set up is very limited due to the financial implications of a proper academy/scholar system, which with new premier league proposals lower league academies will disappear anyway. Our youth teams are basically the players that weren't selected at Premier league, championship, lg 1 or 2 level, so realistically if your 16 and not attached to a top level club your not going to make it at any level as a pro. In effect if your not at a championship or prem club your going to struggle to make it as a pro.

Why - his budget is 5k a week on a part time basis. He works part time and works tirelessly. That wouldn't even get you our back 4.
We could go on about Coleman instead, even Graham Turner at Chesterfield as he got Hereford up using purely the loan market!
There is no positives to McIlroys legacy I'm afraid. I can't think of one good reason why he should stay unfortunately.
