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"

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

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

With a big stick?

Look at the owners no showing any intent ahead of the new season.

Champions by February!

Football Manager has done alright for Will Still.

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'.

That line struck me too. Not sure whether to read a lot into it, as Maynard always used to say team too.

There will still be a figurehead, but like you say, the accountability may be shared a little more across said team. Interesting.

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
