Prior to last week's vacation I cranked out a number of posts at Forbes on Manchester City's Performance Analysis department. The first two were a transcription of an interview with the club's head of performance analysis, Gavin Fleig. The nearly 6,000 words he and I exchanged provided a good bit of information on how the club uses analytics from the youngest youth sides all the way up to the senior first team. The third post outlined how the recently launched MCFC Analytics site is attempting to jump start the public sphere soccer analytics movement by making a good bit of Opta data freely available to the public that was previously available only via a fee. Have a look at all three posts if you're interested in understanding how last year's Premier League champions use analytics to stay on top and give something back to the soccer analytics movement at the same time.
Manchester profits a lot from MU and MC. central london hotel is always booked all season round.
ReplyDeleteWith the way these players are being analyzed and trained, I won't be surprised if I get to see them as neighbors. Now that I'm deciding to get that property for sale in mallorca, I will see for myself how this team bring home the gold.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree with you Theodore, who knows they might invest into something and buy a commercial property somewhere else to out their money into something profitable and useful. I just hope these dudes will not change their goal in winning the game and not be involved in any game-fixing schemes.
