I think people get a little too obsessed with the whole hipster thing (do hipsters even still exist?). There are some god damn awful 'hipster' appointments - like we have done. There are some amazing ones who keep teams punching above their weight by relying extremely heavily on stats like xg - Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth, possibly Fulham. Liverpool and Man City have invested heavily in stats over the last decade and they've done alright. I'm not a stats person really myself, but just get bored of the massive downplaying of it and writing it off as hipster. The issue we have is an incompetence one - we are using stats terribly and think we are smart. Some other clubs also use them bad, some use them good
