[HeySethUTB]

James Bord is a part owner of the club he plays for...

I’ve been doing some investigating research regarding James Bord and my suspicions about him and his involvement is starting to gather pace.

He’s the owner of the Ai recruitment tool we are using (Short Circuit Science inc). He is Co-owner of Dunfermline Athletic FC via Park Bench SFC LLC, alongside Evan Sofer and holds minority stakes in Córdoba CF (Spain) and Septemvri Sofia (Bulgaria).

This year Dunfermline are on a preseason tour of Bulgaria. His company thus far is providing AI-driven player scouting and analytics services for Sheffield United and Dunfermline Athletic, however only one of those teams have made player acquisitions using his services.

Ironically I have used Ai to help do deep research into James Bord, the one output was that although the links were suspicious no player trading between clubs has occurred and therefore no red flags, I suppose that’s different now. Are we going to be providing Dunfermline with players?

 

[GrunkyPeep]

Not 100% sure no.

Its only from what I read in the papers. Our local one and some of the red tops.

Seems that way doesn't it?

Can't say I'm massively impressed by their website or anything they have out there.

There are some companies like Plaier who have put a fair bit of stuff out there that looks decent but there's no positive presence for Bord's company from what I can see.

I think AI is working through countries in alphabetical order

We'll be waiting a while before we find the next Peter Ndlovu then.

Getting traction now

Old cynic in me suggest this chancer is lining his pockets (if this goes through).

Not sure how a data and AI model that a Scottish 2nd division team uses would be any good for us. Surely we should be going with a better reputable company?

But again thats me being cynical and a bit of a football snob I guess.

 

[MayorOJC]

Are you 100% sure we are using them for our AI?

We use a few different services. One is James Bord's Short Circuit Science, as HeySethUTB mentioned. Another is DribLab, who are a bit more of a known entity in the football data analytics world.

Didn’t Owen Hampson go there on loan last season?

Thank you!

Just a quick look at Driblab makes me a lot more relaxed.

 

[Balham]

Only made three sub appearances. Played more for us last season than he did them.

 

[PaddysMad]

All in on Bulgaria

Loving the Professor X eyebrows, sign him up

Is that a gold elephant I see in the background?!

L.E.M - Yes I think it is. He also seems to be displaying proudly a stag with a tumour on its forehead, three types of medicine and a jar of vaseline.

Hope the relationship flourishes - precseasonbtour to Bulgaria?!? - Count me in.
Or even pre -,season to The Pars - a good ‘drinking town’ with plenty of other potential opponents in the vicinity to extend to a ‘proper’ tour like in the ‘olden days’.
Sun’lun taking >3000 (+ myself) to Hearts for Craig Gordon’s testimonial - perhaps we could emulate this (well deserved) recognition re Christian Nade?!?!?

In fact there is a plethora of potential opponents for CN alone:-

stick it on the pertinent thread please

 

[redandwhitewizard]

Can't wait for all the Bulgarian fans to tell us who our best player is this season.

 

[Torrix1889]

I think the owners should invest in a vpn because it seems this new ai system doesn't work outside Bulgaria, or is the system working through Europe alphabetically after finding nothing in Austria

Obviusly Azerbaijan was devoid of talent.

Gone to Mansfield

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

It’s nothing more than a U21s signing if it happens, one to develop and eventually come through or sell on. This seems to be the use for AI at the moment. I think the media are stirring the pot that it’s anything more than that

Media stirring the pot because there's nothing else, Hardly any links for any players etc so they're just trying to stay somewhat relevant to Sheff United and the fans by just posting about anything United related and essentially "blowing it up" even though most of us know what the crack is with these players

In which case, surely Brazil comes before Bulgaria!

They skipped past him as he was in the bar after his Talksport shift.

 

[GrunkyPeep]

Can someone better at computers swap to Bettis and Bulgaria?

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Up the ‘garians

About the time Bryan Robson became the manager

Isnt it the last overseas non qualified slot taken up though? Means the first team can't find any hidden gems

Fixed it

I’ve no idea, but the two wingers signed last season & this guy I don’t see playing for us at any point soon. Supposedly the Nigerian winger we signed a few weeks back has a higher reputation that the others (if what you read is true)
