Daniel: “I know that, whilst most of our business has been completed, Mitch is keen to ensure we start the season in the best position. We understand & respect his wish to consider new avenues. The priority right now is the final few weeks of the transfer window. Mitch has been with us for 2 years & created a well staffed department & run our recruitment processes for the past 2 years.”

He joined us in Nov 2014. I doubt that he had much involvement in the Jan 15 window, which leaves us with seven signings under him. I wouldn't argue with the quality of those.
What we do not know is how much stronger the player identification and analysis is at the club. The other thing that he was meant to bring was better analysis of our opponents and of our own youth players. Again it is difficult for us to comment on this or say how much of an impact he's had.

If Poch is now manager rather than coach then maybe he has his own plans. Interesting to see how this pans out.

It all seems a bit strange to me. However, I do think the wording that has been used is very deliberate. It seems, on the face of it, to be an amicable separating of ways and the fact is that they are not leaving before the end of the window. They have also built a team and processes that no doubt should be able to work in their absence.
I would imagine that we would get a replacement, but I don't think that this will happen imminently. It's hard to determine just how much of an impact Mitchell and McKenzie have had, but the only thing that we can assess them on are the signings, and I would say that would suggest that they have done a very good job.

So it takes Daniel two years to negotiate the purchase of the IP for the black box then

England set up?
Ultra analysis so England are less brick

It's business intelligence though
Statistical analysis might be a better term, although you could argue that excludes any Qualitative data

How do we know that? Were both under 18 England players for example?
Do you think that if Mitchell and Mackenzie had been sh1t hot, with Poch and Levy massively impressed with their player analysis, the club would have given them an irresistible financial package and kept them? I'm sure the club logs and owns their data. And we should have a mechanism to allow a transition to new staff.
As with the thread in the transfer forum, you do wonder whether data analysis delivers on its promise to outperforming humans judging footballing ability. I'm still unsure what data measures exactly. What variables is the data capturing for example?

Could be related to John McDermott's recent promotion to DoF and a shift in focus from fly-in solutions to the academy production line?

Apparently some French paper called La Pocheen is suggesting the fall out was because Poch wants to keep Njie rather than have Nkoudou (who Mitchell was pushing)
