The sabermetrical way of scouting players which young James Cryne seemed to get stick for off some probably helped attract these buyers ultimately

He always runs while others walk;
He acts while other men just talk.
He looks at this world and wants it all;
So he strikes like moneyball.

He knows the meaning of success;
His needs are more so he gives less.
They call him the winner who takes all;
And he strikes like moneyball.

Any woman he wants, he'll get;
He will break any heart without regret.

His days of asking are all gone;
His fight goes on, and on, and on.
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all;
So he strikes like moneyball.

What's all that about then Ponte?

A told thi he'd be using other peoples money, the crafty buggaz.

One question SB
who has sold the club for £20 million
Just remember PC has said repeatedly that he would only sell the club to the "right" people
Has he done so?

Mi owd Dad nearer 100 than 90 said to me this morning "I've just been reading Chronical and I've been watching football for 85 years and Ive never heard of this Billy Beeun who did he lake for". got to smile.

It's a good read that in Chronical they "Mr Lee and Billy Beane" are alleged to say they are not going to throw money at Barnsley but want a team that can hold it's own in the Championship and none of this fighting relegation every year they also say they want a good youth policy bringing money into the club.
