Post Briano »

5 points clear seem to have broken the 2 horse stranglehold on Jock fitbaw 

The days of dodgy old scouts roaming parks looking for talent is long gone. 

The Tony Bloom model of stats and facts is deffo the way forward, successful at Brighton and now with the Jambos. His team in Camden have info on players from all divisions in every country on the planet.

My Hibs mate always refers to Hearts as the puddle drinkers ?

The recruitment model that Bloom uses or similar ones is being adopted by numerous clubs at lower levels with mixed results.

Rather the Jambos than Celtic, but hopefully the Light Blues return to their throne soon enough.

The strategy seems simple. You rent an office, employ 20 actuaries to sit in front of computers, find a Caciedo, sell him at a profit and move on to the next deal whilst keeping a club competitive
