It's all about money, as usual, though not the greed of players, on this occasion. It' appears to be about the chairman wanting to stash it away while the going was good and without apparently even mentioning it to the 22% share ownership of the supporters' trust who had worked so hard throughout their rise from the bottom division. Here is another who decided to cut and run, except that he, er, forgot to run and still enjoys the prime seat on the front row of the directors' box. Bet Messrs Jenkins and Everton's Kenwright have a few chuckles together. We are fortunate to have half of the owners who are genuine, active and lifelong supporters of the club they run and actually put money into it., the other being Steve Gibson at Boro. Presumably, we all understand the principle of moneyball, yes? It is a real 'thing', whether we like it or not.

Kevin Nolan was a supreme 'Moneyball' player. Represented incredible value for money.
From our side I suspect it would be Walters and Adam. I'd imagine their statistics far outweigh any value that you would need to buy them.
In effect we do it when we choose the budget options for our Fantasy Football teams. A good idea, and one that effectively worked for Leicester City last season (see Albrighton, Mahrez, Huth, Vardy)

According to a newspaper Swanseas next manager will have to work with a former economics journalist who has been hired as the Clubs "Moneyball" expert!!!! Dan Altman is now the transfer consultant for the club, who uses data analytics and statistics. Altman apparently wrote an analysis of England's Euro 2016 campaign that claimed "the team boasted a bevy of trigger-happy shooters but lacked a creative playmaker"!!!! He concluded "if England can produce Derren Brown why not the country's next great No 10" You couldn't make this shit up and people think we have problems with our transfer team Isn't there a Danish team that have used a "moneyball" system to great effect? The problem with football is that it is much more fluid that baseball. There are just so many variables that can influence a game and the statistics that come out of it.

Isn't it owned by Brentford's main investor, think I might have read that and tucked it away for no apparent reason. If correct why can i remember than an not whether I took my tablets 5 mins ago?
