I've no idea what tool or methodology Hammell and Daws used to sign Danzaki, but it certainly wasn't their brains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's the latter. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2024/02/13/partnership-with-off-the-pitch/ This platform is more finance-driven than player-driven statistics. It's a welcome addition, though, as anything that helps us tighten up our processes across the board is a good thing. It certainly won't be replacing Daws. No software can do that. We're always going to need a Head of Recruitment and a team of analysts. These platforms, and the ones I have messed about with in the past, can provide all the information you need, but someone has to act upon it.

It is indeed finance-driven; therefore, I wonder why Daws was rolled out to provide a media quote for the website article. His role must have some financial/budgetary aspects, but you'd imagine his focus and expertise are more on the player-driven stats you refer to. Perhaps there is more to the partnership and platform than the media release demonstrates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clackscat Posted February 14, 2024 Report Share Posted February 14, 2024 I agree a lot of our recruitment has been questionable to say the least, but I'm wondering how much of that is down to Daws? We aren't party to targets he has identified but have not wanted to come to us for financial reasons. Perhaps 4 targetted players for a position have knocked us back and we are recruiting 'way down his list', at 5th choice or worse, so maybe not surprising a lot haven't worked out? As I say merely wondering if thats the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say merely wondering if thats the case? Thing is, when it comes to recruitment, the buck stops with the head of the department. He knows our budget; it's his job to find players in the positions the manager identifies. If he isn't capable, then he needs to be replaced.
