My experience with data analytics is that, across any industry, there are many who see it as an attempt to replace the human decision-making process instead of to inform it.
And it comes down to a matter of ego, a lack of understanding the analytical process, or both.
I’d love for the Club to find a cost-conscious way of using analytics going forward. Then let’s track the players we sign/retain and see whether the management preferred them, the analytics preferred them, or both.
