Lambert cost us £200k and scored 59 goals for Rovers @ £3389 per goal. Oh, and we got £1 million for him.
Maynard cost 82 £2.25 million and has scored 43 goals for the Teds @ £52,325 per goal. And he'll flee Trashton for nothing.
And that neatly crystalises the difference between Rovers and City.
City have an extremely rich owner who throws money at his pet project as if it's going out of fashion. They are living proof that if you throw enough crap at something, some of it will stick.
Rovers are owned by a well-off milkman and a fairly comfortable builder. They don't have the money to artificially improve our league position, that's why we're bumbling along in the lower leagues and are, quite frankly, crap.
It's a complete mystery to me why 82 are in the relegation zone of the 2nd tier. They have had an enormous quantity of cash thrown at them over the past decade, yet they're barely 6 league places above where they were under Wilson 8 years ago. A damning indictment of someone who knows how to make money, but has no idea how to spend it.
Truly a chronic waste of tens of millions of pounds.
