No, it can't.
You can't find a signal in data that isn't there. You simply can't.
If you disingenuously look at a subset of data, you can claim it shows something which it doesn't when looking at the whole body (politicians do this a lot), but that's not something that any analyst is going to do when looking for players to recommend, because they want to prove their worth.
The question was how come the data was used to sack Hurst, but worse data has allowed Artell to stay, for now at least. The answer is that they are being selective with the data, as it would make them look foolish to sack him this early. They are interrogating the data to come up with the answer they want.

Anyone can manipulate/select data to supplement their already held views. E.g. Artell does this regularly when he says “we played well for a five minute spell” in a game.

Or our away record is good (2 clean sheets in a row 😂) therefore it’s the atmosphere at BP that’s the problem FFS!

Only data that counts is points

Well if you are correct then we may as well pack up and disband. If we cannot attract a quality of player to get us above the relegation places in league 2 because we can't offer whatever it is young footballers do when they are not working.
Nobody said that in the summer though when we signed apparently good players from all over the country.
Pal, the only player we signed from North of the Watford gap was Wilson, who looks to have potentially struggled to settle here too. And also look at the quality of player we signed, not exactly great is it.?. Our pool is northern based players, but when Barrow can get better quality than us, because they train at Knutsford, you know we are pissing into the wind.

We've just signed players last month from Portsmouth, Cheltenham x2, Coventry and Blackpool and Hull. Whether they are good enough is a different discussion altogether and involves a whole lot of factors, but we will continue to sign players from all over the UK

Didn't we sign Wilson from Sutton?

I mentioned that in the reply!!... I know people hate a dose of reality, but look at it pragmatically, who was the last "quality" player who was required to upsticks from down South, and settle here?.Who's signature did we get to beat our rivals?.. There's a long list of players through the 70s, 80s, 90s who moved to the area and there's no coincidence that was a golden era for us

Well of course we are not signing the same quality of player now because we are seen as a yo yo club between league 2 and non league. We are still signing players from the South and all over the UK and presumably the quality will go up if we ever get our excrement together.

But we are not...all our recent acquisitions are northern lads, who on the face of it, didn't have any better offers... Be honest with yourself, if you do not know Grimsby abd your agent is driving you over for contract talks, you'd get to Park Street and do a U turn...
