Starting with a new manager then?

Yeah on the day he rebuilt a shambles of a side he inherited into one that got 92 points

could go either way. it’s never boring

How does he manage to sound like a pessimistic, rambling 75 year old and a 15 year old contributor to EFLTRANZFERZANDNEWZ.blog.co.uk in the same sentence?

Super spy company is what tickled me!

 

[Wards]

Is there a data-field for 'character test'?

yourself. I was more referring to the fact that I can't see Wilder being happy with it.

It's probably the end of the predictable (usually positively so) transfer targets then. It could very easily go wrong. As a powerful powerful football club at championship level, we shouldn't need to go too far left field to assemble a top quality squad. Surely it would be more sensible to integrate the AI approach alongside what has been successful for us/Wilder in the past

And insiders reveal that a couple of January signings were also double-checked for approval by this outfit..

Don't beleave they will throw all there eggs into one basket ! Yes use any method possible ! At the same time you don't throw away what's good . Personality and aspects of that come in to play.
Will be usefull at all levels in cluding academy .
One cannot just change to an AI system useful tool yes! Nixon with the Sun probably reading too much into this,Personal touch will always
come into play.
Exciting to be the first maybe! we will see!.

[Frank the tank]

Everyone laughed at Brentford and Brighton and their innovative data analysis and look where it's got them
These people who own our club are clever business people if they think they can get ahead of the game then let's see how it goes


Let's be honest we all know we have a bit of a glass ceiling with our current set up so maybe this can smash through it

 

[Jan Age]

And insiders reveal that a couple of January signings were also double-checked for approval by this outfit..

So on that basis I’d not be using it as my main source of recruitment

If this is the same computer that endorsed the Cannon signing, it'd better seriously up its game, or I fear some Blades will go all Office Space on its ass!

He's a bit late on this one as it was mentioned many times in Jan that the two young lads we signed were done so using this method.

 

[iBlade.]

As previously mentioned you can't suddenly throw all your eggs into one basket. I do like the sound of this data driven recruitment and will be interested to see how it performs but you can't just suddenly scrap traditional scouting methods at the same time that would be madness.

We haven't

 

[iBlade.]

We haven't

I know we haven't

 

[PrestwichBlade]

Apologies, the tense you used suggested you thought we had.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Think it's already gone rogue

 

[MobileBlade]

Think it's already gone rogue

No Benson and Hedges in that line up

Journalism standards are certainly slipping. The new investor introducing an AI model to player acquisitions is not Bord, it's this member of the collective...

 

[DifferentClass]

Think it's already gone rogue

The "away" team are wearing women's kit, lot of belly but no hips

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Does this AI model look into the fitness of players?

If we sign players that aren't permanent injured or players that can play 90 minutes without them looking like they've run 2 marathons on 60 minutes It's already better than the system we have.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Can you imagine this coming to effect during Nigel Clough’s reign?

“But our Simon says he’s a good lad who still lives with his mum?”

“You can’t compare a computer to the level of knowledge our Simon has in the East Midlands or Scotland.”
