I have no idea if other clubs look at these metrics to decide whether they are 'lucky' or 'unlucky', but assuming that most don't, having access to this knowledge hasn't even given us an edge, seeing as we underperformed compared to our budget. So what's the point?
Well we could go back to the successful system of crazy owners sacking managers regularly signing loads of players who are garbage and dropping steadily with dire performances every week.

Or we can see if over the long term this method works. So far in 4 years we are higher than we were when they started. It would seem we aren’t spending levels of money that threatens the existence of the club and they are slowly learning.

It takes time. The more data you have the more accurate the decisions should be.

We are not the only club that underperformed versus budget, take Forest Green. That’s where we don’t want to be, and under this ownership I’m fairly confident we won’t be.

Neither however do I think we’ll be running away with the league.
