He will be telling us in a bit that being a young baseball pro is the hardest job in the world :grinning:

Not sure if he can be trusted to be right though mate tbh he’s never got anything right in terms of rumours.

That’s true. 15 percent budget cut will just leave us non competitive

That’s depends what it’s 15% of surely?

You’re still getting it wrong :joy: ya ba(uf)foon.

It’s not even got anything to do with “underlying” data. Finding a player that gets on base (bare with me, I know you don’t like baseball whilst you’re trying to give everyone a lesson on it) isn’t an obscure, underlying stat. The whole point of the concept is signing somebody who is good at that particular trait, regardless of things that drive value up, like potential, or so on.

In fact, you’re MORE likely to sign somebody older than somebody younger under moneyball, because you are solely using statistical analysis, rather than taking into account anything else, like age, potential, marketability, literally anything other than the job in question.

If you’re talking about any other approach, you’re not talking about moneyball. If you can get over your pathetic attempts at insults you might learn

He didn’t say. But you can watch it on line. He’s extremely knowledgeable so you might learn something

I’m really not. And a simple google search can help you out there.

It’s literally what it is. Data that’s not traditionally used in scouting methods.

It’s a method used for uncovering hidden gems.

In your theory clubs like Real Madrid, PSG and Man City are using moneyball theories to simply identify the best at each particular position :rofl::rofl::rofl:

It’s theory was driven by people trying the bridge the gap between themselves and clubs with bigger budgets and more clout in order to gain what edge they could.

You literally are and I just explained why. But you never learn.

Who? WFTV?

Load of cack. He’s no more in the know about things than you or I. If thats what you’re defining as “knowledgeable” I suppose.

His channel is literally videos of him repeating whats been said on other social media platforms regarding rumours.

Can fault his support and enthusiasm but the bloke couldnt even remember Scott Dann’s goal against Rochdale! “Must have forgotten that one”.

Fair enough. I wonder where the 15 percent budget cut came from. Hope this isn’t correct

:man_shrugging:

Never known anyone quote themselves so often :rofl::rofl:

Don’t think I’ve name called anyone, other than quoting it back :+1:t3:

I totally agree and christ knows where its come from. As mentioned by someone above - its a dangerous thing to do, in regards to chucking out statements with no tangible evidence to back it up.

Drogheda lost 3-0. Shambles.

Caught a bit of it - horrendous to be fair.
