Wait but who said ki secret ? The main thing here is that if you as an individual can justify your spend to the board and owners and they see fit to keep you in the position and keep bank rolling you ,then me and you can jump and jive it’s not going to change the price of tea
We also work with data, the narrative that Sundowns can have data that is secret on this matter is a lie at best or gaslighting at worse, what we are using data to determine this outcome not speaking from position of ignorance. There are known, knowns and there are known unknowns, by using available information, efficacy can be calculated using the known, knowns, we don’t need their data to benchmark efficacy or lack thereof, we have enough information, as management they must get independent audit of data then make a decision, let me make an easy example, in the last 2yrs we’ve lost

Club World Cup I won’t count as a trophy loss but a fail. That makes it 10 competitions and 2 winners. 20% success rate, now benchmark the capital we deployed vs open market competition we compete against, it’s damning how poor we are.
There’s no secret data they have that can disprove this basic fact. In fact the more we use information, the worse the case becomes. I suggest you checkout how Tony Bloom has killed the “secrets” of how clubs efficiency and efficacy is measured. Bra Steve and Berg can’t measure themselves
@Skhomo23@MillionMnisi It’s tricky and I see your point ,unfortunately they work with data and like coach Steve said it’s like a bikini it will not reveal everything
We being the fans ? Or you still referring to the corprate ? I also need you to apply this to the hypothetical situation of this being a passion project
@DJNAVES Hypothetically speaking, space had to be made for this acquisition, Sipho Mbule, Neo Maema and Rivaldo Coetsee were sacrificed to create space….. what did we lose with their depth
In economics or in corporate there’s the first assumption which is scarcity ( funds are not unlimited) therefore each time you choose to deploy funds on X, there’s cost of not deploying those funds to Y, Economists call this opportunity cost. In this context, what was the cost of what was forgone in order to deploy resources on this acquisition. Essentially Sundowns has a cost of acquiring the player and the “imaginary” cost of what is the price of what the club forgo to getting the player. If I am making an executive report and I tell my CEO my unit made a profit of R100, the first thing he or she does is to check what was the Cost To Income ( CTI) and secondly have no better opportunities that could’ve yielded a higher return that were forgone
