Soccer Sequence No.19 - Update

As a result of new figures been published this week, Soccer Sequence No.19 has been updated. Who would have guessed that Liza Minnelli would be the beautiful game's oracle. Liza, like Martin Peters, was twenty years ahead of her time. Can you guess the link between these  numbers:-

401.4, 365.9, 327.0, 289.5, 263.0, 242.3, 217.0, 203.2, 196.5, 196.5, 146.7, 146.4, 139.6, 133.2, 132.7, 124.5, 114.7, 103.5, 102.2, 101.0

Sad to note that Portsmouth were just short of these figures.

Hart in the Palace

Congratulations to Paul Hart on his appointment as Crystal Palace manager. Since I first mentioned Hart   in a post in late August, he has managed three different clubs. Will he beat the record for the number of clubs managed in a season? To answer this question, it would be useful if I knew the record. If anyone knows the record, please let me know.
