Bonkers appointment. 10 months ago Karthik Hariharan was doing an internship at QPR (assisting a recruitment analyst) and studying for a Masters. A few months later he's Head of Data Science and Football Insights at Rovers.

no but don't expect people not to say something back. 

How would you like me to come to your workplace and have a go at you? are you going to just take it or say something back? 

Someone the other week had a go at Travis and he said something back. 

You wouldn’t get anywhere near my workplace mate.

I would take it, laugh at you and then report any concerns about the idiot having a pop at me to a more senior manager!

You can understand it a little bit from a player if there’s abuse, for example Kieron Trippier having a chat with the Newcastle fans at Bournemouth last season. Goading your away fans from afar with your hands cupped behind your ears is a different matter!

Legal action in relation to what? If he wants to voice his concerns then he is damned well within his rights to do that. We won’t be silenced, Kim Jong Waggott can fucking think again if he thinks we will accept this.

Absolutely right but I wouldn’t be surprised if Waggot didn’t make it a condition of entry next season, that you are not allowed to chant against the owners or their stooges.

This is genuinely mindboggling.

Absolute joke. So that guy can get caught masturbating at Turf Moor and be told politely to stop but we can’t speak out against our awful owners? 
 

Jesus wept.

In fairness there's not been a footballing insight in 15 years so I imagine little experience was needed. 

He'll fit right in with the rest of the incompetent no-marks running the joint.

Again with the “one letter off nominative determinism” thing… you’ve a way with words.

Complete joke for our 'data analysts'

What the actual fuck?!?

Given our shitty budget and the importance placed on data science during recruitment (whether you agree with it or not is unimportant, it will be factored in and having a no mark there will be a problem), this is one of the most farcical appointments in a long line of farcical appointments. Mind you, grossly underqualified Rudy Gestede has probably been involved in this hire given his role, and he probably has sympathy for work experience types. Plus he's Indian so bonus point from the owners. What a joke.

We should publicise this ludicrous move on social media to add fuel to the fire.
