His Linked in page says he`s been involved with the Pars` match analysis since 2013!

That was my impression, LA! Could it be that DH was analysing future opponents` matches rather than our own matches?

Thought Dave Honeyman was our data analyst? 🤔 if not, what is/was his purpose?


Nothing, the bloke is a nugget, offers nothing and when involved in youth setups played favourites and put many young lads off football

If that`s the case how has he been at the club for so long? How many managers has he worked for since 2013?

No. He only does our games. Opposition stats are also included but within the same match.

No idea why McPake didn’t have DM’s analysis for his time here. Everyone else did.

Maybe thought the detail wasn`t enough or wad outwith his limitations?

Maybe thought he could get more from doing it himself as he knew exactly what he was looking for?

C'mon Ye Pars!

It might just be that the club genuinely didn’t have anyone in that role when McPake was there, or at least not in the way he’d have liked. Could’ve been part time or shared across different areas, or just not as in depth as he would have liked.

He could also use that kind of line to underline how limited resources were, it doesn’t necessarily mean there was no one at all, more that he didn’t feel he had a proper dedicated analyst. If he’s saying it, there’s probably some truth to it, even if things are different now.

c'mon the pars

maybe Honeyman is full time now and was part time in McPake`s reign.

According to Scott Burns of the Record, James McPake, Liam Fox, Ian Murray and Nathan Rooney (ex-Larne) are all contenders for the Airdrie job.

That’s crap money given they’re looking for a masters educated /experienced person!

A degree educated graduate with no experience will be on at least ÂŁ45k with most edinburgh financial institutions and consultancies

Btw the forum doesnt seem to take the plus symbol

FFS... are you serious? ÂŁ45k? Generally, Australians` pay is slightly higher than in the UK, but the salary for a graduate you quote is way out of kilter with reality. $36,000 should be about right. The Pars may be quoting a wee bit low, but there`s a thing called negotiation.

I was shocked how low that salary was. You’d struggle to keep a decent standard of living as a single person for that never mind support a family.

I guess it is the market though, a lot of guys doing these degrees because they want to be involved in football so the money won’t be great in a competitive field. I’d imagine if you prove to be great at it you can maybe earn a bit more though.

If thats the market rate, but it seems low- depends on degree and what we need though, I`m not thinking we are interested in competing with financial institutions -no one can!

Likewise the job doesn`t sound like it needs the capabilities of the financial sector though, just decent capabilities -from the job description (I`ve worked on football betting for 20+ years all over the world) this sounds like a decent starting job, not needing Einstein

Quoting other countries salaries is meaningless, the UK proportionally dominates this area, hence the high salaries in the field-theres a reason why it`s so big.

Sports analysis isn`t hard to recruit in betting , I`m guessing football is even easier-getting genuinely very good people (and not some corporate hogwash like `amazing staff`) is more difficult -this position may not need top drawer, but someone capable and crucially motivated.
