Rocking up at Wrexham, apparently, now Wednesday are letting their people go.
No idea why we weren't in for him. Free transfer in effect, good age at 31, knows the Champ inside out, excellent scoring record. And an obvious improvement on Frey. |  |

Your statistical word-itis aside, you seem to be spectacularly missing the point I was making, which was itself questioning the thing, i.e. the far from perfect correlation between budgets and attainment, you are (correctly) questioning now. So you've basically made the same point I was making again. Thanks for that, but what it mainly shows me again is that, on LfW, as in life, it isn't the point that's made but the person who makes it that tends to carry the day. (Which is why one always need to talk truth to power, of course.) |
Word-itis 🤣 it's a text-based message board, would you prefer semaphore?
Everyone agrees that wages are a factor predicting attainment, but not the only factor. To put it in a way that precludes argument over the meaning of words, the correlation factor is greater than 0 and less than 1.
You are the only person who feels clever for noticing this fact. [Post edited 24 Jul 21:28]

And if you had paid more attention to my detailed post critiquing that black and white correlation, backed up with data and cogent counter-argument, you might be less noxiously authoritarian. Budgets and wages play a (big) part, sure, but clubs also 'over-achieve' and 'under-achieve' in relation to such, as the evidence shows. If that weren't the case, we wouldn't need to play football matches at all - we'd just decide it all on paper! When QPR were the top London club in London in the mid-90s, do you really think we were spending anything like what Arsenal and Spurs and Chelsea were doing? More recently, to make the point the other way round, when we broke the bank and tried to buy success under Hughes and Redcrap, we ended up with a shit team with no spirit, and went down in shameful fashion.
Finally, and for the record and your benefit, and while I respect Clive's analyses of course (a lot more than he appears to respect mine, but that's not my problem), I pay attention to argument, complexity, and controversy, and then funnel that back to my own thinking - I don't fetishise individuals.

Windass will be knackered by the time the season starts, opening all those canal lock gates throughout the summer. |  | | |

On the contrary, I have enormous respect for it. In fact I’ve started using it myself - per your recent posts a whopping two thirds of the Championship last year finished exactly where they should do per wage bill spend almost to the place. |  | | |
