Actually I read this statement slightly differently
Anyone can see what a player's injury history is - all this info is already collated
You don't need all the qualifications of this guy
We were often beaten this season by teams who had bigger or more aggressive guys than us
Some have said our data model didn't factor this in - now it appears we are going to do so
The brothers say the football dept is being restructured
Maybe this is the new boss of said football department
The announcement of Stuart Maynard's replacement will tell us more

I know I really should be championing this as someone who has been able to work in football data analysis and scouting for a few years now. But I just have a nagging feeling we're fluffing something up to keep the fan base happy when the announcement of the NEW COACHING TEAM is made. To me this sounds like team selection by committee driven by the data. I mean, it could really work, and I really hope it does, after all, 'fortune favours the brave'.

New coaching team = AI coming to a data centre near you. "Due to unforseen events (ie hacking) today's team contains 3 goalkeepers in mid-field, our target man in goal and the cleaning lady as sweeper"

I'm concerned our new AI coaching team may misinterpret its goal to "beat the opposition".

Beat me to it! AI with FM2024 = Job done.

That's my hunch
Will it work?
I don't know but any group of people in any walk of life normally do better under positive leadership where everyone knows their position in the organisation and what's expected of them
I had a bet on us going up last season (unfortunately) but I'll keep my money in my pocket for next term until we know what the brothers have in mind
