Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
All jokes about Luton aside, I don't think people realise how attractive an opportunity that is. And he'd surely be doubling his salary if not more. It's a shame if he goes, but the club is clearly moving in a markedly different direction to the one which existed when he was appointed.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.

Nice of you to cite me @Blue_since_1990, but I am about as data savvy as a tree stump. I just like putting colour-coded excel sheets together for MOTM votes because I grew out of crayons!
Re: Data driven WWFC
I can interpret data as I see it and I know a bit about how it's gathered for the means that I use it in the media, but I'm not massively au fait with its applications in recruitment. Reading 'Moneyball' will probably give you as good an idea as anything.

Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
There's been no real talk that Blooms is unhappy. You'd see why that could happen with Scott Mitchell going, but aside from a few people on here reading into things... we're making assumptions.
Also, we've just spent 500k on 1 player, there's talk of spending another 800k on another, so the absolute pile-on of Data Dan Rice is a bit silly.
