Michael Appleton has his say on Shrewsbury Town using AI technology and who has 'final say'
Michael Appleton hopes Shrewsbury Town's foray into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) can kickstart improvements in their recruitment.
Chief executive Liam Dooley revealed last week that Salop were beginning to use 'AI-supported tools' as they move towards a 'data-driven approach'.
It follows the departure of director of football Micky Moore earlier this year - and Appleton knows the club have a lot of work to do to identify the correct signings.
"I think it's a useful tool," said the head coach. "I think we're probably right at the start of it in terms of a club. There's so many strides that we need to do from a recruitment point of view to get anywhere near where we should be.
"But having tools like that gives us that sort of almost bit of a quick start really to get where we need to be. Like most clubs up and down the country, you can use it to the best of your abilities.
