Nice to see we've posted a profit in excess of £5m.  All that buying cheap shit players seems to have paid off.  Now to claim the net spend badge again over the summer to really get the money rolling in - the two other clubs will benefit massively.

It's about time that the club recruited someone who has built their knowledge on the back of football management games.

Well done the club on finally finding the perfect person with that knowledge and those essential skills, it must have been a really tough task to find the right person.

The outfit will likely use the simplest of AI routines to identify targets…

Position required + <£10m + (<19 years old or >30 years old) + >70% pass accuracy = ACCEPT!

Where SR often forget to change "position required" from Left Back. 🙂

What a load of absolute fucking shit.

You just have to hope that there are people above who have actually watched a player, understand their character and mental suitability for playing football at a high level who make the final decisions.  Vegard Forren was a player I remember having a conversation with someone at our technical scouting team, and that player had all the stats to show he could play in the Premier League, but clearly did not want to move from Norway at that time so didn't have the right mentality.  The tech team couldn't believe it didn't work, a human centred approach may have been more helpful that just stats.

Unlucky MLG on not getting the position.

The CoT can exclusively reveal they reseached each candidates posts on their respective clubs forums. MLG had a 74% inaccuracy rating as to his posts with the critical factors being repeated failure with regard to stadium expansion topics. They also felt they couldn't trust someone who openly celebrates Christmas whilst at the same time denies the existence of Jesus.

Whoever recruited that fucking geek should be out the door.  
Why can’t we be run like a normal football club, this shit boils my fucking blood.

I’ll put money that some fucking speccy twat is using AI to scout our players (and I am an IT geek speccy twat myself.  I did play a bit though.  Proper football, not some PlayStation bullshit).

He must have turned down the position as he clearly has an eye for talent based on his 2008/09 ones to watch. All had exceptional careers following leaving Southampton so who are we to judge scouting abilities like this? 

Youngster to watch = Andrej Pernecky

Youngster to watch = Jamie Hatch

Youngsters to watch = Oliver Lancashire and Aaran Racine

Youngster to watch = Jamie White

Youngster to watch = Jake Thomson

Youngster to watch = Matthew Paterson

We've already been through this, and pointed out why you are wrong. Our academy and club was an absolute mess in 2008. I did not rate those players highly. The were the best of a bad bunch. Bizarre you are carrying this on. It is a post from 17 years ago, and if you actually read it in the context I just outlined you'd realise you have no point.

A definition of "youngster to watch"

The phrase "youngster to watch" means a young person, especially a child or youth, who is considered to be someone who is likely to achieve great things or become important in the future.

Ah, there it is. Lighthouse mentioned Jamie White as a promising teenager who ended up at Totton.

MLG got very defensive when I remembered the FM thread being posted the other day, and pointed out that White was a "youngster to watch" on it.

I couldn't find the FM link, so good to see it back. I note MLG promotes our youngsters to watch at the top of that thread with "Want a team with great youngsters you can bring through?"

@Paul Chuckle

This 17 year old post is not the win you think it is. I was trying to drum up interest in managing the team on the game!

These youngsters, all mentioned in the summary for each position were the youngsters I was talking about when talking ablut great youngsters relative for the league and I mentioned them by name in that preview.

Lallana

Schneiderlin 

Dyer

McGoldrick

Wright Phillips 

The ones younger than that in the youngstersto watch section, were just picking the best of a bad bunch. Other people starting threads in that forum were also listing academy players. Who else should I have mentioned in the academy section?

Our academy players were shit at the time and were not highly rated within the database. Interesting you choose to ignore this key point!

None of those players are rated highly in the FM09 database. Because I did not rate them highly. A fundamental hole in your thinking here!

So, to summarise, my points...

- Lighthouse mentioned Jamie White as a promising teenager who ended up at Totton.

- White was a "youngster to watch" on your FM thread.

- That FM thread also said, at the top, "Want a team with great youngsters you can bring through?"

... were all completely accurate. I thought you'd like accuracy, since you've been trolling posters under it's guise for many years.

 

That you see posts as a "win" might explain why you defend ridiculous positions, before going off in a sulk, rather than discuss like a grown up.

We get a multiple choice of ridiculous positions here.

You weren't referring to that group of youngsters to watch. You were referring to another group of youngsters to watch (who you don't group together as you pretend above)

Or that you were fibbing to the FM thread readers, "trying to drum up interest" although the "academy players were shit." That sort of fibbing won't go down well with the video scout interview panel.

Or that all the other kids in the FM09 threads were doing it, so you felt you had to do it too. Even though they were "shit."

Not that "shit" you didn't also advise players to "make good use of the young players already at the club from the strong youth academy."

Since you always tell us FM stats are really opinions, I'll give your response a 2.

I'm sure RDF Tactics is looking forward to connecting with a higher level of Southampton data analysis in his new role. I'm sure he wasn't insanely defensive and excuse giving in the interview. Wishing him all the best in his new role.
