Definitely be champions in May.

The much vaunted ChatGPT had no access to data since 2021 so instead of recommended signings, came up with an overall strategy that involved:
- investing in an extensive scouting network
- sign players with a track record of leadership and success
- focus on nurturing and developing young talent through an academy (there's an idea)

Okay, so no surprises there. 
Then I turned to Bing - Microsoft's AI bot - which has the advantage of having access to current data.
Having analysed our performance last year it concluded our problem was a balance between goals scored and conceded (der) and to rectify this, we should sign the following:

Ryan Cassidy, striker from non-league Hayes and Yeading United
Tommy Doyle, midfielder from Man City 
Nathan Collins, defender from Wolves 

It went on to recommend the following as first choice in a 442 (there was no mention whether it had run this suggested formation past Joey Barton first):

Norris
Swanson - Collins  - Raggett - Ogilvie
Devlin  -  Doyle  - Morrell  - Lowery
Bishop  - Cassidy

So job done (just the small matter of a few extra million required to secure Collins and Doyle). 

I hope that Hughes and Mousinho thank me next May.
