Have you ever heard any normal football fan talk about 'core XI' purchase cost plus season wage bill divided by points accumulated as an actual thing before?!
That’s a completely asinine method of calculating cost per points (even if you wanted to do that), anyway.
It makes absolutely no sense to front load transfer fees and wages for players that were not purchased in this year, much less doing so for players that were (as if they would be dropped from the squad after the season, with no contribution from then on; i.e ignoring amortisation). This is a person that either has no understanding of financial accounting/data analytics or someone that is attempting to create fictious metrics to fit his tortured narrative... or both, in this case.
And, if you applied this to United the arbitrary value would be even higher than ours, so what would his explanation be for our win, then?
