Re: Rumour Mill
Well said. For that matter I wouldn’t want a manager where the data said he was a master tactician and those who’d worked with him in the past said he was a sexual predator.
The problem with data as the only arbiter of competence is that can easily lead to moral relativism and eventually moral turpitude. The data undoubtedly shows Meta will be more profitable if it sucks up to Trump and bins off fact checking and content moderation.
Re: FA Cup 4th Round Draw
No it didn't. It started at home to a non-league team (as did this one, Wealdstone was round 2)
Re: Rumour Mill
done some digging, all the reports on westergaard are he's a proper player. Some championship clubs been sniffing around him but we have beaten them to the punch
Re: Rumour Mill
I have no problem with Data as a tool. I just hope there IS also a character test of some sort included in that research so that we end up with people who respect the manager and want to improve the club. Not just ambitious individuals looking for a way into the English game.
The two Scandinavians look like decent signings if they both go ahead and Bolton are playing games over Morley.
I'm hoping Dan and Matt are working together and rumours of discord are just the gasroom eating itself in the absence of any concrete ITKs.
Re: FA Cup 4th Round Draw
I'd go with whoever has had most possession or has the biggest stadium as very public new rules, just to shock all the opposition fans who thought that was already the way football matches are decided.
Re: Rumour Mill
Cheers Micra, lots of water under the bridge since then! Good to hear the old gang is still together on the Gasroom. 🥂
Re: Rumour Mill
One thing would put this all to bed...Blooms receiving a well-deserved extension with a glowing statement from the club about what an asset he is. That would be absolute proof all is (now) harmonious behind the scenes for those trying to parse out if x means y is backing z based on transfers.
As of right now, I can't even remember a nice thing said about Blooms (by name) from the new hierarchy, let alone an extension waved under his nose (happy to be proven wrong on the first, as I am sure I have missed some content and interviews). I absolutely 100% hope that changes on both counts and would be delighted if it does.
Re: Rumour Mill
Hopefully he will be. But that’s a different question to whether the manager is being backed.
Re: Rumour Mill
And if at the same time he did want to sign Morley and wasn't given the funds to do so...
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
Bloomfield on his first day at Luton:
”Rob must have been hated here. Look at the place, there’s been riots”
”Oh no, nothing like that happened Matthew, you’re in Luton now”
Imagine swapping the beautiful hills of Bucks for the slums of Luton. Wait, has anybody checked if Blooms drives down Desborough to get to the ground?
