Is it actually?  Ben will be along in a minute.

 

Probably goes without saying but word is (according to our ever so reliable local journalists) that hes not exactly living up to expectations behind the scenes.

Yeah I mean he's the one in charge of the data side. He's not a football guy so I wouldnt expect him to have the eye for talent and if that was that club are expecting them I'm not sure what to say. 

 

Would love to know more about him not being good

Think he's supposed to be in charge of developing a Newcastle specific data model, with input provided from the recruitment side of the club.

 

Not great to hear that he might not be up to it to be honest.

I was just watching Geordie Journos and Liam Kennedy eluded to someone who was meant to be "best in class" in our data recruitment basically not living up to expectations.

 

Just to be clear, he was implying that he wasnt living up to expectations inside the halls of Newcastle, as opposed to a fan/journalist perspective.

 

So I wouldn't be surprised to see changes. Wilson himself might have already got to grips with it, to be fair but I did think it was interesting.

Thanks for sharing STM. 

 

It doesn't surprise me as we have a bit of a conflict a club stuffed full of traditional football people where as we bring In suds who will definitely struggle with the eye test as he's a data guy. 

 

I imagine we are struggling to integrate data into our traditional workflows tbh.
