Would we get access to it again if we go down? Or has that ship most likely sailed now that we're, hopefully, part of the top 23-or-so? |  |

To be honest, I would very much hope that we have been spending the past 3 years investing in building our own.
Yes, its useful to have access to someone else's, but it has also been very costly to us once it was taken away. |  |

I agree - although promotion came sooner than expected, the lack of resilience in that area has been so damaging. | |

It's shocking how little football clubs are willing to spend on this sort of thing compared to players, especially given how even one decent signing could end up paying for the cost of the staff for years.
I do miss writing football software. Most fun job I've had. [Post edited 18 Mar 9:57]

We could have saved a lot of money buy investing in the right tools, rather than sign the likes of Muric and Philogence that's for sure! |  |

Building your own tools takes a long time, I doubt we'd have had anything ready for this year either way.
We'll also be using the off the shelf stuff anyway, we were doing that a decade ago when we were penny pinching so I doubt we'll have stopped in the mean time. | |

Given the owners are involved in a few football clubs, it's surprising they don't have their own model in place
Leeds in contrast must have access to Red Bull's system as an example |  |

Muric was a massive mistake, time will tell on Philogene
I suspect like Clarke, he will look a million dollars in the Championship
The big mistake in recruitment was a failure to increase the physicality and athleticism imho
That's something Forest did do with the money they spent on the season they squeaked into 17th | |

As has been said elsewhere, it wasn't for lack of trying. Prem experienced men mountains weren't exactly knocking our doors down clamouring to join us. |  |

True, but Gamechanger have had 3+ years to be working on it. | |

If they were very forward thinking, yes.
In my (outdated) experience there are very, very few clubs who build their own software. Man City were the first team I'd heard of doing it followed by the Dutch national team.
I imagine it wasn't our top priority as you could get by with off the shelf software for a much cheaper price.
For the price of a month of a decent Championship players wages for a month you could get all the OPTA stats plus live tagged video of almost any match you could think of for a year. | |

without knowing who we were targeting, it's hard to say, you can only really go on the players we were linked with and not a lot of those matched that profile
I know when we got Phillips, the other player we were looking at was James Ward-Prowse which when I told a West Ham fan at the time, they weren't impressed
He then joined Forest later on in that window so I suspect there was something in that one
Would we have fared any better with JWP rather than Phillips, who really knows?
It did seem a massive mistake not to get in another striker to compete with Delap and Hirst. I know we had tried pretty hard on that one but to then not have a player in January again seems a mistake
We were linked with Michy Batshuayi who may not have been perfect but would have at least given us another option, I think he has since joined Frankfurt on loan | |

I would expect them to be forward thinking, and to have it high up their list of priorities.
MA prides himself on thinking ahead. | |

Did we have access to it previously? I wasn't aware of that. Brighton were linked with a team in Belgium - Union SG who have had a remarkable change in fortune since using Tony Bloom's data |  | | |

Same thing applies re striker - not landing one wasn’t for lack of trying.
You know more than me about possible targets! | |

I hope Clarke doesn't. We paid the equivalent of 19.4 million dollars for him! |  |

Hearts are involved with this lot now, Jamestown Analytics or something? Also talk of Bloom making a £10m investment into Hearts. | | | |
