A forward who scores 10 goals a season for a team is more valuable than a forward who only scores 5 for the same team.

I'm afraid you are wrong mate, we went 27 years with nothing even got relegated and during it all we still had the biggest crowds in the country. Playing in the old second division we were still the best supported club.
