Have nothing against data being used sensibly by the way, I use data and Ai carefully to assist my day to day work.
Monitoring players hearts rates. recoveries, condition during games, pinpointing good times to replace before performance drops or risking injury and even looking for opponent weaknesses all sound usage.
But to tell us they've picked a manager based on data-driven recruitment process is a patronising load of shite!
This is the kind of utter garbage chancer agents post. Cherry picking "metrics" to tell fans who have watched poor performances most weeks that they are watching wrong and that the likes of Allan Campbell was in fact among the 3 best midfielders in the SPL last season.
We have people playing at Football Manager and ignoring what is in front of their own eyes!
Many centre halves have fantastic passing and completion rates because they are simply shifting the ball sideways and backwards.
What data-driven recruitment process finds McLeish the outstanding candidate?
Did it just filter out not scoring a single goal in the 3 most critical SPL games after the split, the 4 goals in 6 minutes in a cup tie and scraping a 2-1 win against Championship opposition.
"Data-driven recruitment process." FFS!
