Neil Lennon opens up on James Bord's data drive at Dunfermline Athletic and recruitment priorities

Neil Lennon is convinced data analytics can help him bring success to Dunfermline – but insists he will still have the casting vote on recruitment. Co-owners James Bord and Evan Sofer are determined to bring their background knowledge in data and artificial intelligence to their work with the Pars. Bord is the founder of California-based Short Circuit Science, which claims to 'gain deep insights with AI and computer vision'. He has also worked in the past with Brighton owner Tony Bloom and Brentford majority shareholder Matthew Benham, both of whom have a background in data and statistics. Lennon is relishing to working with Bord and his team in that field and believes the recruitment of the likes of Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen, Connor Young and Tashan Oakley-Boothe in January is evidence that it works. However, with over a decade in the dugout as manager at the likes of Celtic, Hibernian and Bolton Wanderers, Lennon is also adamant that it will not be the be-all and end-all when it comes to bringing the right players to East End Park. 'Brighton are the classic example,' he said of clubs' increasing dependency on number-crunching. 'Brentford as well. Their recruitment's fantastic. 'And it's all about recruitment. It's 80 per cent of my job. That'll help me bring success to the football club. 'But it's not set in stone, James' philosophy on data analytics either. 'If I like a player or if I said, 'I don't think we should go for this player', he would have no qualms about doing that. 'But he does bring a different variation on how you recruit a player and what to look at. So, that's really interesting and it makes you understand better. 'You need the evidence, you need the results of that. 'And already with [Chilokoa-]Mullen, already with Young, already with Oakley-Boothe, I think there's evidence that it can be successful.' He went on: 'We talk about it and I talk to some of the people that work under him as well. 'So, for example, last season, 'can you send me clips of variations on set-plays, corners, free-kicks?'. That type of thing. 'The next thing you get video clips and ideas on different variations on your set-plays. Again, it's a real help.' And Lennon knows exactly the areas of the Dunfermline team he needs to strengthen as a priority. With Deniz Mehmet the only goalkeeper at the club, after a season playing back-up to on-loan Celtic youngster Tobi Oluwayemi, and with the Pars having scored only 28 times in 36 league games, they need additions in attack and defence. 'Certainly in terms of recruitment, there are certain types that I think are needed in this division. At both ends of the pitch,' he added. 'Obviously, we need to look at the goalkeeping situation as well, and a centre-forward. 'Those are the two positions where we want to have big improvements on.'

Arsenal transfer target's awkward Instagram post after £70m bid was rejected

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta had the vision of pairing Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo in midfield, but his plans were scuppered after Brighton rejected two bids for the Ecuadorian star Moises Caicedo previously took the unusual approach of going to Instagram to force a move away from Brighton, after having seen a bid rejected for his services from Arsenal. Prior to his British-record £115million transfer to Chelsea in the summer of 2023, the midfielder was subject to interest from Mikel Arteta's side in the January transfer window of that year. Desperate to get his man mid-season, the Gunners boss sanctioned two bids to acquire the Ecuadorian worth £65million and £70million. But both were swiftly rejected by the Seagulls. ‌ Despite playing less than 30 games for Brighton at the time, the then-21-year-old impressed massively as he himself made it publicly known that he was already wanting to move on from the club. ‌ In a strange move, Caicedo took to Instagram and wrote a message directly to Brighton chairman Tony Bloom following the opening bid to first offer his gratitude to the executive then pleading for him to allow the sale to go through. "I am grateful to Mr. Bloom and Brighton for giving me the chance to come to the Premier League and I feel I have always done my best for them," he wrote. "I always play football with a smile and with heart. I am the youngest of ten siblings from a poor upbringing in Santa Domingo in Ecuador. My dream is always to be the most decorated player in the history of Ecuador. "I am proud to be able to bring in a record transfer fee for Brighton which would allow them to reinvest it and help the club continue to be successful. "The fans have taken me into their hearts and they will always be in my heart so I hope they can understand why I want to take up this magnificent opportunity." ‌ Caicedo's poignant message ended up falling on deaf ears as Brighton remained firm and kept onto him for the rest of the season. His Instagram account 'moises_caicedo55' was also nowhere to be found on the social media platform weeks after his message but has since returned. The season ended up being Caicedo's last at Brighton as he ended up the centre of a bidding war between Liverpool and Chelsea in the summer. ‌ Despite the Reds having a bid of £110m accepted by the club, the midfielder had given his priority to the west London club who offered a British record of £115m – including add-ons – which was subsequently accepted. Having just finished his second season at Stamford Bridge, Caicedo was the only Chelsea player to start all 38 Premier League games and ended the campaign by scoring in their 4-1 win over Real Betis to win the UEFA Conference League.

Deontay Wilder emerges as shock contender for Anthony Joshua's return fight as Dillian Whyte rematch is ruled out

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DEONTAY WILDER has emerged as a shock contender to fight Anthony Joshua in a bid to settle their storied score. The two spent years in dragged out failed negotiations - leaving an undisputed blockbuster to fall by the wayside.

Both times it cost the American a revived clash with Joshua - who is yet to return since being KO'd by Daniel Dubois in September. Wilder, 39, faces Tyrrell Herndon in Kansas on June 27 and Frank Smith - CEO of Matchroom Boxing who promote AJ - says a fight with Joshua is possible. He told Boxing News: "Do you know what fight I love? If he comes through his warm-up, Deontay Wilder.

It's about buying into fights that people have interest in and that's a fight that everyone would still have interest in. "Regardless of whether it didn't happen five years ago, people still want to see it now. So hopefully he can come through his fight." Dillian Whyte was mentioned as another potential option for Joshua - who won their bout in 2015 by stoppage. They were due to rematch in 2023 but it was cancelled after Whyte, 37, returned an "adverse finding" in his drug testing. 3 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS He has since boxed in Gibraltar and Ireland after blaming the failed drug test on a contaminated supplement. Whyte was due to return on Fabio Wardley's undercard in Ipswich but he pulled out to focus on a summer showdown with Lawrence Okolie. 'We never know' - Tyson Fury refuses to rule out comeback as Anthony Joshua nears new 'amazing' fight deal And Smith - alongside Whyte's promoter - ruled out a fight with Joshua as a result. Smith told iFL TV: "No Joshua." Joshua, 35, recently underwent surgery on an elbow injury that has kept him sidelined since defeat to Dubois, 27. And with Tyson Fury, 36, still retired off the back of two losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 38, AJ has been left to look elsewhere for an opponent. Smith added: "There's so many options out there. It just also depends on what he wants to do, if he wants to go for the world title again. "What does he want to chase? Tyson Fury is a name that obviously we've spoken about a million times but it gets boring after a while saying the same thing. "So let's get him back in the gym, get him fit, get him active, get him ready and then we'll go from there."
