In which case, surely Brazil comes before Bulgaria!

Computer says ‘No good players in Brazil’

 

[Lowen]

The fact this AI-led model has so far only been recruiting development players is fine and all that but one thing the club has absolutely excelled at is youth recruitment. First team level is where we’ve struggled, in the youth teams they’ve taken the likes of David Brooks, Ndiaye, Peck and perhaps even soon Onè and turned them into 10m+ assets to the club on a minimal budget. One of these Bulgarian signings has to be a hit otherwise we’d have been better off allocating that money to the people who had already been doing good work at that level.

That kid from liverpool we've recently signed forgot his name but he could potentially come good too, Was captain of the U15s I think?

Who the f*ck is James Bord??

 

[Blade58]

Just wondering. Does AI limit itself to only identifying players from the Bulgarian League?

Seems odd that all of a sudden there’s loads of up and coming bargains identified from there?

Untapped or just a bit tapped?

 

[Gin&Juice]

Glad we’re pulling shit like this nowadays. Too long we’ve sat back as the boring, nice guys whilst clubs take advantage and use football clubs to launder. Let’s farm some wonderkids and sell them for millions when they’re ripe!

Good guys finish last. Bad guys have a blast.

Did I read the rules are different bringing young players from "elsewhere " to recruitment in Europe ??

 

[blade_ben]

Hate that accountant cunt soo much. His mate couldn’t afford us anymore and now he’s like a bitter ex. Orange prick!

 

[Blade56]

I don’t know, did you?

 

[Blade56]

The fact they've replaced the pitches at the stadium and training ground is shameful when they can't even pay wages.

What’s the position on their pitch. Is it laid? Last I saw was a picture of tractors in the sand.

 

[Varkanoid]

007 Licenced to sell you players he owns pretending AI did it instead. The fact the picture shows he is playing poker says it all.

Plus the Scottish striker from Hamilton and it sounds like we’re chasing an 18 year old striker from Swindon who’s broken into their first team. Might be that we’re just pushing the boat out (comparatively) on academy recruitment this summer.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

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.

Why does it matter what division Dunfermline are in? They can still use the same technology but the parameters will be very different for them. They won't be trying to sign players from European top divisions, they'll be looking lower down the pyramids.

That's like saying Man City shouldn't use it because they're in the Premier League and we're in the Championship. Their searches would come up with players like Mbappe, which ours wouldn't.

It's a very naive way of thinking.

 

[FTPE]

007 Licenced to sell you players he owns pretending AI did it instead.

So he's a real guy. He's a "friend" of the owners and not an employee. He's No background in football, or even sports, and he plays poker for a living.
What am I missing here?

 

[Yogi]

Who the f*ck is James Bord??

He’s a part of the consortium that owns us and it’s his AI data analytics software that we’re now using to help with recruitment for the development squad.

 

[Blade56]

And yet he Co-owns Dunfirmline

You make it sound as if it is one or the other

I barely understand the rules of football. All this international points and 4 talent exceptions stuff is way above my pay grade. I’m just looking forwards to the first match and hoping we have an attacking side that gives us entertainment and success regardless how we sourced and bought players.
Summer lay off seems to get longer every year but at least our neighbours are trying to keep us entertained.

It doesn't matter. That's why I said its more me being a football snob and cynical.

I was having a bit of a stress at that particular time in writing it also.

Suggest listening to this episode of the Pinch podcast. Very informative on all the rules around foreign recruitment.

It does feel a bit like this James Bord guy is just milking the AI buzzword train..

It's not like he's an AI scientist who's been developing it all his life. And I'm not aware of this ShortCircuit AI company making any groundbreaking developments in AI.

I'm not saying using AI in theory is a bad idea, but I'm not entirely convinced this James Bord guy is the one we should be using.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Disagree with him?

Hardly heading up recruitment , academy punts . The aim is to develope a system that brings good youngsters from all continents .

 

[Wards]

Disagree with him?

Yes. Nothing at all suggests he's 'leading our recruitment', it's just more hyperbolic nonsense from another Chris Wilder supporter

 

[MKY]

Sounds dodgy as fuck to me.

Ipswich literally use the same one as Brighton but had to stop when they got promoted due to league rules. Now relegated they can use it again!

We're using one that has a hard on for Bulgarian football
