Obvious question then - how long before "every" club uses data for signings if it's that obvious!

Or we may just be warning Evatt that we've got other "irons in the fire", so buying Morley for a grossly inflated fee isn't going to happen.

And tbf, the '66 team was pretty revolutionary for the time, playing without wingers.

Blooms literally said in interview that he was interested in Bradley, and had personally spoken to Paul Warne about him ! Yes he probably didn't know anything about these Danish lads, that's defo data lead, but to say he hasn't had any say at all in transfers can't be true.

Obviously.

We're running a championship manager sim and these are the players that crop up right?

Plus running them past Micra to make sure they meet his height requirements.

As for how we won a World Cup without it, that was almost 60 years ago and football has evolved just a tad since then...?

At least it should be at 3 o'clock on the Saturday

Do we think Bloomfield is just a coach who has no impact on incomings and goings?

Seems more likely he's more involved than that?

This data driven malarkey has me confused.

Almost as confusing as the quote button

This data driven malarkey has me confused. How did we win a World Cup without it. I really sense a bit of tension between Rice and Bloomfield. Both go on about the data but are they really in tune and singing from the same hymn sheet. Bloomfield seems a little irked by incoming transfers like he doesn’t really have any knowledge of them. Rice seems a pretty ruthless kind of guy which may make Bloomfield consider his longer term future as a knife may be hovering over his back. Pure conjecture of course but I’ve met many a type of Mr Rice in my working life and I’m not sure if I’d trust him with a bargepole. Of course all in the garden may be rosy and I hope it is!
