I see Mr Slade thinks that players should get paid for 'their data' - which includes the sort of stuff schoolboys 'collect' about their favourite players from outlets such as the latest FIFA game, matchday programmes, trading cards and other sources.

This could have a massive impact on pricing of stuff if firms have to pay for data such as players height, age or goals per match.

Interestingly, Slade owns or is deeply involved in a data company that seems to dish out this sort of information, presumably to sell on to the media or other companies that use this sort of stuff.

This I think is unpoliceable or unenforceable as the data comes from myriad sources and I would guess not a lot comes from the players themselves - I would think the data producing firms might have something to say about it.

As a user - this is a bad thing and will mean we get less infomation while watching matches or reading matchday programmes.

Slade Out!

more to do with Slade's stats - which were poor to awful

The data is in the public domain for anyone to collate however they wish surely ?

How many goals / assists a player gets is everywhere from TV to newspapers as well all over the internet. So not sure how Our Russell thinks otherwise.

It's probably more to do with hiding his own stats - which were steadily and regular at poor to garbage

Fine.. and charge the players for informing them of how many fans are in the ground, as DP relates to location of individuals..

Then introduce performance related pay and neg bonuses when they’re playing like c ***s.. club would make a fortune from this relegation bound crop of wastrels..

m with you on this one - can't understand what this is all about :?

Any live game you will see stats on teams / player performance - it's also covered on non live games .
You can also bet on team and player performances in some games - been going on for years :o

Simple if players get that let's make wages alot less and even price cap clubs to force reduced salaries.
