    Neither of us have a clue on the answer to that as you well know. The facts are we were using data to identify players at that time.

    I think this is when we used the spreadsheet sensibly - we used our brains during the recruitment that season. Yes Hourihane was identified using data analysis, but his leadership qualities were also commented on at the time. It wasn't simply a case of just crunching numbers that it is now. We tweaked the method - it also brought us Watkins, Scowen, Mawson, Roberts, Winnall and Yiadom around that time.

    And none of these had anything to do with this lying *******.

    The facts are that Hourihane was an extremely well known player who was the captain of Plymouth.

    It took about as much data analysis to find him as it takes an atlas for me to find my front door

    I've been with my current girlfriend for 3 years, we have an amazing sex life.

    Let me tell you a story to demonstrate.

    We had a threesome in which we made a video and uploaded it to pornhub. Its now one of the most watched videos.

    When I say we, I mean she once had a threesome a few years before I met her.

    Boring now, cos you're making crap up and not even making a good example.
    Did you buy the rights to the video? No Did you buy her? No.

    Try answering a relevant question like the one about the FA cup I asked.

    What did you ask? Sorry I didn't see it (no I'm not pulling a Wenger).

    Did Paul conway buy the rights to Connor Hourihane? I thought that was villa ;)

    So you can confirm with absolute clarity that data wasn't used?
    Would love to see this evidence, please provide hard facts to support this, Links? Quotes?
    I'll wait with baited breath but wont hold my breath

    You're missing the point. I'm saying the in depth data analysis that finds unknown kids from the far corners of europe wasn't Needed to notice the captain of Plymouth getting rave reviews in the football league.

    Conway bought Barnsley and everything that comes with it.

    I said 'I say we won the FA cup, am I claiming I took played? No, Am I claiming I helped in anyway? No. Does that make me a Liar?

    Not what you said though was it?
    You questioned if Data was used and I said we dont know but it was during the time and you continued to argue why it wasnt used.

    No I said that he was already a well known player.


    Here are the facts.
    Conway has history of lying
    Hourihane was already well known
    Anyone with a pair of eyes could see that.
    Paul conway says WE signed Hourihane blah blah blah
    Paul conway was nothing to do with the club at the time

    He's a conman who will make his mouth say anything

    That was my understanding, of it, (spreadsheet).
    It is nowadays explained as the spreadsheet identifies and then look at, would be interesting to know if back then it was a player was spotted and then data used to confirm, same principals but significant difference.

    No, I could use an atlas to find my door but I'd be wasting my time.

    The weirdest part of that is that I really don't find Angelina Jolie attractive at all so no never. I only used her name because I was looking for a film to watch and she's in one that I was scrolling past at the time

    Here are the facts
    Conway has a history of lying
    Hourihane was signed during the use of data
    Paul Conway said WE signed Hourihane blah blah blah
    Paul Conway had nothing to do with the club at the time

    Again, he made reference to Conor to explain about Data, I believe he used we as in the royal we, neither of us know for certain. Which you agreed with.

    You have chose to continue to argue why you are correct but haven't actually offered anything except you're opinion.

    Ok it's my opinion that Paul Conway is a liar who has history of lying to barnsley fans. Who constantly says things that are found to be less than true. Who is killing this club and who I wouldn't piss on if he was on fire.

    No facts just opinion. The sooner he ***** off the better
