Nope, you're right. It's a strange one really. However companies like Vodafone have recently moved that way too (although that seemed to be a bit of a handshake deal where both companies get something out of it). I'm guessing this is much more to do with Oracle's specific solution on the real-time analytics though. I've ended up down a bit of a rabbit-hole of google searches here, but I missed this story last year.

The Avengers use Oracle cloud for all their stuff, assuming that's all related to S.H.I.E.L.D. but they're not real, unfortunately. A few years ago, I did some training at Oracle HQ down in Reading and it was at the height of the Marvel films and so each printed edition of Oracle magazine they had scattered around the place had many versions with a different Avenger on the cover. For some reason it was very difficult to grab a copy of the one with Scarlett Johansson on the cover, could get any amount of the others but not her and I really tried. In the end I just had to print out a PDF version like a savage. (Sorry to diverge but I feel this topic has had worse divergences). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Oracle paid a SHIT load of money to get product placement into Iron Man. So much so that the producers gave Oracle's CEO a cameo in the 2nd film. God knows why though, not sure how much business it would get them, although I guess they just wanted to appear "cool".

Anyhow, whether true or not, it seems like St Max wasn't his choice. To me, he does seem too much of a libero to fit in with the kind of meticulous planning Rafa goes for. How do you coach him, or a Ben Arfa, for that matter? But who knows, and I'll stop derailing the thread now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this means EPL has just recently switched cloud server provider. But I'm assuming even if they have just switched, the emails and all correspondence from past years will need to be properly filed and accounted for. And not a case of "Sorry, we had a major server migration error and some emails & minutes were lost" So luckily... I am an Oracle Cloud consultant This has nothing to do with emails etc, its simply a data platform to provide analytics Edited May 10, 2021 by Cookie1892 spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 In all seriousness, any damning evidence against the PL is going to come from leaked emails. Probably from a so called big six club asking the PL to block it. Masters has more to lose by illegally blocking a takeover, than he does to gain. Unless someone can prove that he as an individual gains by this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
