Tynecastle chief Andrew McKinlay revealed his hopes for the Jambos new analytics tool this week - but Hearts hero Stevenson reckons there's far more pressing issues staring his old side in the face.
Predicting challenges to the Old Firm in years to come is great - if you’re sitting where Aberdeen are right now. But the reality is that Hearts are heading in one direction as things stand. And that’s back to the Championship.
McKinlay and his board should have full focus on making sure they get the next managerial appointment bang on after sacking Steven Naismith. If they don’t then no supercomputer in the world will have them near Celtic or Rangers. He explained how the Brighton staff log in to a huge database every morning. They input all their data into a hub and everyone can see each other’s work. Everyone has their own job but they can all see what everyone else is doing.
Someone who identifies with the club, recognises the DNA of Hearts, who identifies with the playing staff and can build connections with everyone behind the scenes. It’s not about the computer. The most important thing will always be the person in charge. That’s just bad business because it’s an over-inflated market. Clubs will know Hearts are desperate so will bump up prices. Likewise the players will be able to demand higher wages.
