Here is a detailed list of our recruitment and transfers since 2015. From my count, Ive got 19 successful players signed, and 26 failures. Obviously it's not cut and dry that way as some of the successful loan deals we couldn't sign permanently, like McNulty and Omeonga. Again these assessments are purely my opinion, Ive tried to assess the players as fairly as possible. I suspect players like Mallan and Slivka might be split between fans. Thomson was IMO a failure, but marked neutral. Of the 19 successful players, 10 were from the Scottish league or had played and been successful in the league.
So with these rough numbers, we have about a 40% success rate signing players. Over half the players we sign are duds. These numbers could easily be tweaked and debated among fans, but don't see the changes being much. So with that being said, the most important part of any football club is recruitment. The product on the park is the bottom line. That determines a good season or bad season. So with these numbers, its simply not good enough. We should be looking to be signing between 60-65% successful players. Whoever is in charge of recruitment is a failure, the numbers don't lie. Whoever is in charge of overseeing recruitment is a failure too. This should not be allowed to happen on a consistent basis like this.
I'd like to mention @Power and see if he would be willing to bring this list to the attention of Big Ron. Forget Dempster, I think him seeing this with his own eyes might be an eye opener. Also I'd like to leave this here for bouncers to debate and change the list. Lets debate it sensibly and bring a proper list to the attention of the owner. The people in charge of recruitment shouldn't get a single penny to spend going forward.
