Owners,Managers,Players success rates ratio time then ...... 🤔

Mmm,Rads first season still - shipped in a few & shed a few too in August so we'll let him continue the rebuild and see what awaits in January to help him fill the ground he bought back.As for his possible spend,well 'Market price' is determined by willingness to sell and willingness to buy.Owner intentions determine the standards & prices to pay remember as do time frame business plans remember.

In a Wilko interview to The Square Ball back in 2011, Wilko spoke of his experience in the transfer market, called the Wilko’s Ratio .................

“When I started managing way back in the 1970s,” he said, “I realised fairly quickly that if you bring ten players in from transfers, if six of them are successes you’ve done very well,four was good for me and I think that’s true of any manager even the great ones."

The Rads latest contract extensions given are just continuations of Massimos agreements,so those signings must be deemed successful by the Rad then.

No club in history at our level has ever got all summer transfer deals 100% right. That's how football works & that's why opinions exist and differ .............. 🤐

For balance - I'll use the music industry take on contracts offered to budding musical talent (possibly spotted on Facebook/YouTube) ........ for a £1 million advance to one group with 'potential' to add to ones music company.

They'll have to spend half a million to record their album. That leaves the band with £500,000. They pay £100,000 to their manager for 20 percent commission. They pay £25,000 each to their lawyer and business manager.

That leaves £350,000 for the four band members to split. After £170,000 approx in taxes, there's £180,000 left. That comes out to £45,000 per person.

That's £45,000 to live on for a year until the record gets released & then if successful the negotiations start all over again and more opportunity to make extra money on royalties,videos,media promotion ........ but if the albums flops who loses.

Musicians long term facts are 23% actually lose money on their musical endeavours,72% making a small profit, but not enough to live on with only 5% of them ultimately actually making a living,sadly.

So buying talent or developing talent - both fine lines in reality in football & music.Buying for success is big 'risky' bucks in both industries and so what are the guarantees in nurturing young talent then ?

Success ratio from a football academy ?

So where do WE go folks - Spend or Develop to accumulate ?

Maybe we should revisit Wilkos plan for the answer !

How the rad signings are so far based on Wilkos theory I actually think most will end up good by the end of the season, not far to judge after 15 games
