If you want, I can create a whole cheat sheet of swear words that will pass the JA censor, featuring Cyrillic characters. Feel free to share your requests below.

I've been quietly cussing for months here. I guessed at some point someone would ask me how. Never did I anticipate the explosion of joyful swearing that would ensue.

I always had the feeling over the years, even after reading a lot of well-written and thoughtful pieces, that what RR really wanted was to take JA606 into the gutter. Well, here it is. Swearing on here. For shame.

I've been playing the long game, Diafol, but this was always the plan.

At best Jim has 10-15 years before he's in a nursing home 😄. He needs to hurry up and gain overall control. Ffs!

If he brings any semblance of positive change during his time then success will be the inevitable outcome.

RR, I think your second paragraph is a good point that relates to the scouting at United. We’ve heard plenty of stories over the years of them identifying quality players that have been ignored by senior management. I’m not sure if it’s still the case, but I’m pretty sure that at one stage we had more scouts than any club in professional football. As bad as we have been run, I find it hard to believe that all those hundreds of scouts are shiiiiiiiit at their job.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There's been a lot of reporting on how bad we have been at turning good information into good decision making (and plenty of top players recommended but passed over by the transfer committee). So I wouldn't be surprised if we have perfectly good scouts. And similarly we maybe have excellent data scientists, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


My understanding of our data science is that it’s not a particularly extensive department. It’s why there’s been quite a bit said about us addressing that department, we supposedly have been reluctant to rely on data in the way that someone like Liverpool do, for example.


But I think you hit the nail on the head in saying how bad we are at turning good information into good decision making. Hopefully that’s something that can change soon.

Maybe you should leave the thinking to those that can think I that case.

Jim is into chemicals rather than oils. Typical thick bitter Bertie, no change there!
