flipping hell you miserable sods. You can’t tell me that you genuinely don’t understand the benefits. Think you’re just being grumpy for the sake of it.

Quoted from jamesgtfc

Brentford place data at the heart of every decision. It's enabled them to purchase very obscure footballers under the radar.

It would be better in those press releases if they pointed to the practical   improvements that evidence based culture they would be hoping for.

I find a lot of things they say are far too abstract to have any real pratctial meaning.

We all want change, but they will have to put some meat on the bones and tell fans what they are actually hoping to achieve.

I'm with 'Arry. A load of old gobbly Asian. What on earth do they want to find out that a competent board couldn't?.

This is a football club not some sort of social experiment. They do love their buzz words but it is getting a bit wearing.

The toilets in the Pontoon could do with a lick of paint next week and new ones built in the summer.

Maybe give the Uni lads and lasses some summer work renovating BP.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

Have we been left behind in the evidence based culture of other clubs? I doubt any other club knows what it means.

Lotwrelly every modern business, sports team and profession uses evidence based approaches to development, on varying levels…

i knew you wouldn't disappoint me Arry!

I try not to

right , i am reliably informed by persons far more knowledgeable than me that this seems like a real win-win idea
The project will involve sharing our data with sudents at the uni. This may be on the playing side, but may also involve marketing/sales and in financial modelling - basically the students are doing our analysis and research at very little cost to us, and are allowing us to do this work when we havent got the time, money or people to do it ourselves. The students obviously get a live project to work on and gain some valuable experience. there is also a potential win win in the future in that if it's an area that the club see some benefit from, they have a ready made talent pool to dip into in order to find the correct  staff, and students get a job as a result

seems like a pretty sensible idea to me


ps apparently there's a good chance the bogs will be redecorated

Wasting money on painting the bogs!???! Should spend it on something useful like a 20 goal striker.

“I don’t understand these words, therefore this is a bad thing”

Could we have all future comms from the club written in crayon for the likes of LCL here.

I'm obviously the perfect volunteer for this!


Oh, hang on a minute. I misread the thread title, I thought it said "Greeks"

I'm Spartacus!

What the frigs "evidence based culture" may be useful if it finds the answer to Hurst's crap substitutions.

It's an educational phrase made by putting random words together - a bit like the names of craft beers.
