It was a daft, panicky comment from a flustered woman. Hardly merits some sort of sanction.Quote:

Other than Pressley (😂😂😂) because he's got a backroom job at Brentford so knows about analytics. They've snookered themselves somewhat.Quote:

He’s got to be a realistic appt
Not that it changes anything whatever but he presumably has a good relationship with Malky, who signed him twice as a player and made him his assistant manager.Quote:

It can’t be a coincidence that there was not a queue of clubs lining up for a transfer frenzy to try and prise Shankland away from Hearts after such a great season in the summer there.Quote:

IIRC there were issues early in his career with Aberdeen and he eventually got turfed out in spite of signing a new contract. Don't really recall what the issues were, just recall that they got frustrated with him and let him go.Quote:

Has a Russian hat in their wardrobe

So you can see exactly why Captain Caveman with Ian Black as assistant is very likely.
I read one quote from a fan stated "Has Shankland's goals over the last few season been hiding just how bad we are, even though we came 3rd twice?" I'd say Shankland's goals and Gordon's saves have masked how poor Hearts were in recent seasons, despite their 3rd, 4th, 3rd placings. When I watch them, I generally feel I'm watching a relatively poor side. They might score some good goals, but I never think that they are a good side outplaying the opposition.
Am I being harsh in my assessment.
Well his namesake was the UK defence secretary to be fair. Maybe they are all like that.Quote:

I think what Sked has described there is very similar to what we’ve turned into this season. Quality delivery into the box, physicality throughout the team, one or two in midfield that can play in amongst the battle. Dundee United are kind of similar I think. It’s a formula that works in this league.Quote:

Boyce Boateng and Rowles ring a bell if that helps ?

McInnes strikes me as the kind of manager who would happily relegate a club he's linked with, on the basis he tells his players to give their all for the badge they're representing on any given day, and so should he as their bossQuote:

I think that rules him out - along with the other rumours that say he won't with an analytics system.
Yesterday's news. I'm going in here.

I've never bought into this 'he needs to be allowed complete control' thing that people talk about.
Maybe got his own data analysis?Quote:

It’s amazing how Stewart has changed his tune about Critchley ( 44:50 ) , lead to believe that McInnes was high up on the analytics data ( super computer 😂) the last time around …
