Excuses poorly disguised as Waffle and Bull Excrement.

Data-led decisions such as not sacking a manager that is clearly not working out. I've spoken to 3 people today who are fans of different lower league clubs, and all of them have said it is absolutely ridiculous that Artell is still in charge.

One more loss and Artell has got to go.

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

He’s a very successful businessman
How many fishy critics can say the same?

PS. Not putting my name forward and I don’t read the Guardian

Sun?

Is it a data led decision? The relevant data is the cost of sacking him I should think. He'd have been gone in a heartbeat if it was free.

I thought it was an interesting listen and thought there was a few snippets in there that reading between the lines he hasn’t talked about previously in great detail. A couple that stood out particularly for me

1) His comment about the regulator and increased funds moving from PL to EFL to ‘level the playing field’ and help him gain back some of the funds they have invested. Slightly ironic given our current predicament, but maybe to all the people saying they won’t sack Artell because of money, EFL status is more important to him than we realise…

2) When talking about Wrexham he touched on his own conversations he’d had with American investors (I assume about investing in Town). Again possibly sounds like he is laying the groundwork with people/waiting for the right people or circumstance when we could start to utilise outside investment in the club and suggests there is possible demand out there even for clubs like us.

Could be all talk I know, but thought it was interesting nonetheless and gave a bit of insight I hadn’t heard before

So now we're back to football fortune and dragging everybody down to our level to compete and pay back the investment.

Sound familiar?

I can't be bothered to listen to it as his way of expressing himself with his business speak and talking of things in the abstract all the time grinds my gears, but someone on Twitter said he mentioned that Hurst wasn't fully on board with the data led approach.

If indeed he did say that presumably Artell and any future managers will be employed at least in part as to whether they trust often unreliable and misinterpreted data or will they trust their intimate knowledge of the game they have been in their whole lives which is an interesting thought. I would think most managers would take note of some basic data on players but their knowledge and experience would hold sway.

I get what you’re saying but there isn’t a person alive who doesn’t say the same stuff, in the same manner over and over again. We all have our specialist subjects and favourite phrases we just don’t all have the platform to be heard.

It more sounds like he's playing a fiddle, whilst our Rome burns.
