No club just uses data though, it’s always used in conjunction with scouting.

We seem to be identifying (judging by links) some decent targets but the scouting and actual “decisions” on who/how to recruit still seem mired in flawed process.

Going from Ange to Frank for example means a radically different philosophy. Therefore the whole fucking recruitment process has to change gear.

Bottom line is though, any coach will need footballers with the best possible physical and technical qualities.
Absolutely, which makes some of the decisions even more baffling.
 
That's just daft.

What I wouod say, and just based on what kind of squad you need to compete in 4 competitions,one of them being the CL, is that we are so behind 4 of the other 5 who are in the same boat.
Nah, we are done for now, I have accepted our place long ago, it is what it is.
Like I mentioned before, we are just another version of West ham with better facilities.

Because he will know that you can't have pressure on day one.

Frank has come along, and is no stooge. He has left a stable club to come to us with a desire to achieve.

Levy has come out with his title talk. Fcuking stupid but he said it.

To not back his new manager would draw venom,,not just from Spurs fans.

No one in their right mind (so that means a few on here would) expect us to go and spend 300 million pounds, but at the very least we have to be able to be competitive
He’s suffered that for 20 or so years, why would he worry now?

You have just added for now,and I wouldn't say done as opposed to not looking like we are going to be competitive any time soon..

That's why Levy's fcuking title comment will screw him over,,because fans and others will rightly say and ask,just how if you arent prepared to show greater ambition and display greater hierarchical competence.
 
Yep, and needlessly so, we had the platform to kick on from.

We still do ... the side effect of years of neglect from ENIC is massive wiggle room with PSR and the off field stuff they're very good at so our revenue is in shape. We are tailor made for owners who are really football/success focused to come in and level us up.

It could all be so exciting but they will never sell. No reason to..
 
Today is a special full moon. Collectively, we could manifest Levy from another timeline…

Today, Levy and Lewis both see Samsara (material ism/bondage) is trapping them in the lower realms, and, thus they promptly empty their wealth into a Club Trust, both take up a begging bowl outside the Stadium.
*Levy checks the Luna calendar...

Empty as usual.

I didn't believe the comments like some may have done.
I do think, those comments may come back to end him, I think it’s started already.
 
You keep going on about this. The problem isn’t that he made a comment saying we’ll compete for the PL. No one cared anyway. The problem is he’s stitched Frank up and left us with a squad that isn’t top 10 material while ripping off fans to gain record revenues.
And he'll keep on doing it as he pats himself on the back.

At this point our best hope is him being visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.

.....Lets not pretend that it hasn't been used as rage fuel and a convenient straw-man for the last couple of months; even before things looked as problematic as they do today.
 
Opportunistic is a narrative term used to downplay our signings. There’s always a negative narrative ready for any signing we would make.

We have spent a lot RELATIVE to our rivals. Look at the data these past few years.

The issue has been:
1) Quality
2) a lot of potential that is several years off being CL quality

We’ve combined 5 years of poor recruitment with a couple of years of buying players that won’t be CL quality for another 3-5 years. That has left our squad looking short of quality in key areas.

We desperately need a midfield passer who can come straight in this season.
One word monsieur - WAGES
We just won't pay nearly enough to get elite ready now players over the line that's why we're falling further behind. That's the problem. I don't think there's any real leaders. We need a proper captain.

You know this and yet you still claim Mr Levy and the board are doing a good job for the football club.
