It is not the media making things up! The owner of Sheffield Wednesday at a fan forum in January said... "I can confirm there was contact from Southampton".

I'm not saying we should go for him, but why would you see it as a poor appointment? He isn't a managerial novice anymore.

You have misread the conversation. The post of mine you quoted is a reply to a post about Elliott Stapley, not Anthony Sheldon.

1) What is your point? 2) These are full time roles. 3) He is already in the FM database.

So you aren't interested in him also working for a football club?

Cooper kept Forest up.

Video scouts coming from software engineering backgrounds is not uncommon.

No, rapidly from Dorking to Saints. Jumping up a lot of leagues.

Did I say, that you said that he doesn't? No 🤔 I was just pointing out Dorking Wanderers have been extremely successful since they were founded. 12 promotions in quick succession through non league.

Not at that point we weren't. It was about Spors' new assistant.

12 promotions in 23 years suggests he knows what he is doing.

No, it is where the person we were discussing worked.

Serie A is the top of the Italian football pyramid.

What on earth are you on about now! I've never had another account on this forum.

With their EFL league seasons over, Ballard and O'Brien-Witmarsh back in the under 21s tonight for the quarter final.

1) It reflects it in a simplified way so it is accessible for non data analysts. Pretty much every role in the game is based on input from real life people in those roles giving SI info on how to improve the simulation. 2) In FM, the the better your analysts... the more indepth the data you get to see.

No

Exactly! Beyond @Holmes_and_Watsonand @Turkish understanding of modern football.

1) If you followed the conversation rather than fail to score a point, you'd realise we have been discussing two different new members of staff at Saints. One is Spors' assistant and is 27 years old, the other is a video scout in his early 20s. 2) I need to be aware of their careers to put them at Saints on FM26.

Nice try. Wrong again on two counts... 1) I am not an analyst on a computer game. I'm a volunteer researcher. 2) Only job I would apply for at Saints is as an academy teacher.

Football data scientists... use data, computers and maths. He has a masters in physics. A past as a software engineer is very relevant.

Or perhaps people in their early 20s rapidly progressing in their career up the football pyramid because they are good at what they do.
