Where are the data lads at?

Surely they have the inside track as they seem to be privy to the same data Edwards and co use

Or are we saying that it’s a bit more complex than using stats ref and who scored?

It's going to be interesting times ahead. No idea who I want as manager now. I don't think you can rule out the likes of Frank, Potter, Howe etc going by the brave over popular comment.

The problem is the nerds can seem clever by saying they want the right person and risk being unpopular, but what their spreadsheets cant control is pressure, expectation, players and the fans. Players will need to be bought in, they are not mindless robots. Also if this sort of manager doesnt do well, then Anfield will be a real rough place for them, let alone non match going fans and social media.

Personally, i think the likes of Howe, Frank, Potter last one season.

The nerds aren't stupid.

There is no way they appoint Howe, Frank or Potter.

Mourinho was watching us on Sunday.  He will be watching us on Wednesday and then the rumours will fly.

Not saying Hughes would bring him in, but he did bring a lot of his team with him. Even felt he needed other lead scouts alongside Hunter and Fallows.

This is the same club that gave Mario Balotelli a song before he’d kicked a ball. We’re suckers for romance.

Mourinho does have a home in West London too so just taking in a game ?

Maybe Fulham is an option if Silva goes ?
