Let us examine this. Firstly the business sense.George Street-Bridge wrote: November 28th, 2021, 7:34 am Where would the business logic be for any party in agents bundling players in job lots, players signing up with agents who do that, or clubs dealing with them? OK it's a murky business, but it needs regular throughput. And agents can't themselves hold registrations of out-of-contract players AFAIK.
The film is worth a viewing. It's from the book "Moneyball" by Michael Lewis. Essentially it's a true story about a failing baseball team that has a habit of buying "dud" players based on the views expressed by their scouting team. There's an Accountant who's new to admin of the baseball team who just happens to catch the ear of the owner of the side where he outlines why last years signings could have been predicted to fail based on their stats in previous years. He suggests to the owner the players he would sign for the coming season and the owner decides it's worth a try. Obviously the coaching team and scouting network oppose the players suggested but the owner manages to reach an accord where a few of the names are employed instead of ones suggested in the "normal way". The players are successful and the following season they commit to employing players using a stat based system as opposed to recommendations from coaches or scouts. It has been employed by football, most famously by Brentford.MisterB wrote: November 26th, 2021, 8:49 pmYep Americanlowandhard wrote: November 26th, 2021, 8:45 pmThanks I’ll look it up, presumably an American film.

No George, I'm describing what happens in the real world. You have a very common problem. You are not stupid but because you are never able to admit you are wrong, you are incapable of learning.George Street-Bridge wrote: November 29th, 2021, 5:23 am Stan, you are describing a situation where a player's movements are controlled by someone who isn't allowed to control players' movements.
) Imagine your agent says "You're off to Newport County." Imagine it's that or you're on your own and football is the only life you know.Totally agree. Also the same plot as the equally true storyline of 'The Damned United'.wattsville_boy wrote: November 28th, 2021, 9:46 pmThe film is worth a viewing. It's from the book "Moneyball" by Michael Lewis.
