Excellent article. I’m more confused than ever, though, so I just smiled and pretended to nod knowingly while I read it.The secretive analytics company helping clubs unearth next Moisés Caicedo

Very very interesting article. Maybe the most interesting I've read this week. So starlizard has a football offshoot now (Jamestown analytics) and they won't work with any other EPL team (begs the question what happens when the team they work with gets to the EPL?)The secretive analytics company helping clubs unearth next Moisés Caicedo

Fascinating they're working with Como as well who signed all and sundry over the summer. Doing ok in midtable I guess but spent a lot.
They seem to like to work with unfashionable teams. Grimsby also using them, who, again are midtable.
Fascinating stuff. TB is playing four dimensional chess whilst we play draughts. Jamestown Analytics has two employees and zero net assets too.
Just for interest, I just had a look on Starlizard’s website.

I know someone who applied for a job there some time ago - that’s their standard question (the team changes regularly though - person I know had to do a Spanish Div 2 team).

Easy mistake that one. Bigger question is why it is spelt nous not nouse, or not pronounced noose or probably more efficiently why are mouse and house not spelt mous and hous.
They are if you're a Scot.
Are you perhaps saying that article may or may not be telling the known or unknown or the unknown unknowns.

Is this correct? If so, who has he sold it to, and how do you know this?The secretive analytics company helping clubs unearth next Moisés Caicedo

He did though, right? (Hence the name)
I assumed he stepped away because it doesn't look good for a PL owner to be involved in gambling... on PL teams?
Some might say an arms length away from it. I would say a fingernail
Agreed, its always seemed to me like footballs version of the movie Moneyball and the Oakland A's...but what do I know...
That also depends on where you live. My mate had a hooss near Fife but now has a house in Worthing.
