    I dunno, maybe you'll have to find some stuff out?
    If you want actual answers here, then maybe re-design your question?

    Well, we could probably bring out all the excuses under the sun but at the end of the day teams seem to naturally rise and fall with the years, and I would guess that it's mostly down to whether...

    The point of my post was to get him to think about it.

    So, how many points do you gain by not having to take your hand off the wheel?
