Bord has his own analytics company, it was used at the Blades for their recruitment a few seasons back and they weren't impressed, apparently.

According to the Star he was only on a monthly rolling contract. Since we can’t recruit any players until the summer it’s just another money saving move by Begbies and I’m sure the new owners whoever it turns out to be will have their own AI supercomputer or/and their own candidate in mind.

To be fair the Blunts should take the blame for it not working. Bord’s analytics company gave them 50 possible matches to the style and type of player they said they wanted, then the Blunts team decided who to buy from that list. Ultimately if any club is just going by analytics and not actually scouting or watching players then they deserve what they get.

Completely agree.
Scouting players cannot be reduced to figures and data on spreadsheets. It doesn't necessarily translate in the real world.

Bord consortium have pulled out of trying to buy the club.
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
