"15-20 Players Leaving This Summer"

Fuck em.
And Bord

This I completely agree with, especially if we can sort the whole process out.

I realise the AI term stuck but really its data analysis and if anyone thinks we should sign players in future without it then we're in trouble
The key is using both knowledge , gut feel and data to back it up .
Using data on its own is as nonsense as not using it at all.
Perhaps we might get players who are less injury prone , can last 90 mins or have some pace rather than the gaffer likes them and they'll fit in .

 

[David Wheatley]

Totally agree regarding Knill

Just seen this on X. Very funny that fans have voted they’d rather keep Nwachukwu and Ukaki rather than wilder ‘culture carrier’ Shackleton

The votes were just from a minority number of Blades fans, I wouldnt read too much in it.

Or Tom Davies or Shackleton
Just as examples , like

I've no idea, and thats my point .

It has to be a combination of the person, the player and data .

These guys are wired up like F1 cars , sprints ,recoveries, distance etc . It'll all be there along with stats and scouting.

Campbell has had a big drop off this season. Bit harsh on Curtis who's had a good loan spell.

 

[Carlton Blade]

When things are going well, Bettis is all over public talks about players, plans, contracts, transfers
When things are going poorly, Bettis just an accountant who handles sponsorship etc

He's giving an absolute masterclass in grifting. Fair play, gotta get that bag

Exactly
That's the flaw in Wilder's outright rejection of any method of assessing players ,
apart from his noticeably imperfect judgement (since 2020) ,
Or the fact that they're "in" , coz they :
like a drink and can carry that culture
or
they're riddled with injuries
or
they're a "project".
The biggest problem that the idiot Selles has given the club is not the legacy of his terrible signings
But
the fact that if he is the reference point by which the club judges the managers who follow him ,
We are going nowhere.
What we don't need to hear - ad infinitum - is
"At least he's not as bad as Selles".
That bar is set too low.

Oh I don't know, 9% of that minority of fans wanting to keep Grbic must tell us something.
