Using your criteria Roverman, MAN has a lot to be proud of. Whilst not disagreeing with any of the above, using the Premier League football analogy would imply a top 20 position.
However, MAN may even struggle to hold on to its 22nd spot as it will be overtaken by STN and I believe has already been overtaken by DUB. BRU too is expanding its offering vigorously. Granted the link is to 2014 stats.

The grey matter might be deceiving me but I'm sure I remember that back in the day MAN was at number 11 or so.
We've not kept growing at the same rate as others.

I suppose it's worth saying too, that a quantitative comparison is not the be all. On a qualitative comparison MAN is a poor relation. Nothing I've seen (admittedly limited) so far of the TP looks like it will mark a shift in the long standing MAN tradition of 'lobbing a cheap extension on to the gable end'.....although 'cheap' is getting more expensive!
