Data driven is nothing new. Databases of footballers and their qualities have existed for decades. Suggesting MB and Rice are at odds in anyway is completely without foundation. Just because Scott Mitchell or his predecessors aren’t there saying ‘look at this lad’ doesn’t mean someone is. We are simply flagging up players that might be undervalued by in some way. When we signed Harvie it was on the basis he was not playing in a particular way at Franchise.
If the deal goes through then Viborg are going to be on the phone to us every week. Buy somebody for X kroner and sell them to us for 10X kroner a year later. That's all the data they need.
Fingers crossed that the Dr doesn’t use data for Gasroomers my pun rate is way lower than last season. Although my making an obvious statement level is higher than average
Even the most belligerent gasroom poster would struggle to argue that doubling our all time transfer record twice in a week wasn't backing the manager.
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.
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.
Lots of water indeed. Talking of which I’ve just extended my 3.45 am pee break to one hour to catch up with hundreds of posts and also, fortuitously, to catch your message from sunny Ecuador. All the very best, mate.

Evolution not revolution in my eyes.
Does the data all come from the same source?
'pure conjecture of course'....you said it!

And I set the bar for mentioning caramel wafers.
How much do we have to spend before some start to think the owners are backing Matt, or are these still signings he doesn't want?

I mean it's not if he didn't want to sign them.
And if at the same time he did want to sign Morley and wasn't given the funds to do so...
Shouldn't really need explaining should it?
What if Westergaard ends up better than Morley?
Hopefully he will be. But that’s a different question to whether the manager is being backed.
Or backing a manager. Another thread has Blooms at 1/4 now for the Luton job 🤣
If the club wish to generate a better atmosphere in the ground, I'd suggest we stop signing players with names we can't sing/pronounce.
Maybe we could have our very own Dave Azpilicueta.

Cheers Micra, lots of water under the bridge since then! Good to hear the old gang is still together on the Gasroom. 🥂
