It seemed like a self written promotion article to me.

“Another delicate balance, but it’s important that a manager feels he has a real say in how the team is constructed, and I’m in total support of that. He’s the one who has to make the team work each week. In January, for example, we signed three players. Two were manager requests and the third was a recommendation from the recruitment department, but the work and research will be done on every single player to support that decision. Each window will vary. The summer was extremely weighted toward recruitment recommendations in contrast with one or two from the manager, but there’s no magic number to aim for. The key is that everyone stays strategically aligned and comfortable with the tools available to reach the collective goal.”

Sounds like Matos picked two of the January signings. Ward and Nunes I assume considering we were linked with Leo Walta before he arrived.

Not likely. That journalist has done articles on several people within the sport when you look on their website. Anyway, my point is I found the whole thing interesting. You often see fans ( said it myself) saying data should not be the basis for recruitment and he explains that its not the case at all.

I would say sometimes it comes down to editorial control.

I wish they asked him why he left although doubt he would be allowed to reveal that. Seemed a strange situation to me given the strides we were making. Suggestions on the other site that he’s at another club which would explain it, but if he’s not then it’s an odd situation which hasn’t really been explained. The squad is in very good shape for my money.

There is a lot of sense in what was said. I particularly liked the part about data only being useful in service to the eyeball test.

There was generally a lot of sense in what he used to say on here too. It's just the personality delivering it that was the problem. Stating an opinion that you can back up is one thing. Responding with several eighteen paragraph posts explaining why you are right and therefore much smarter than everyone else is another.

If pushed I'd wager that ultimately that played more than a small part in our decision to part ways.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Definitely not at another club, pure nonsense.

We’ve reproduced it purely because not everyone reads forums 👍
