But I still question his contributions to the team.  Right or wrong, I still view him as the owner’s kid that acts like a boy in the box.  It wasn’t until he came along until we heard about the analytics of the game.  Perhaps he has contributed in finding some of the talent in the later rounds of drafts.  We don’t know.  I don’t mean to knock Tony, but I feel he has some skills that may not be the best for a role in the organization but he certainly has the enthusiasm as a younger man that has some ownership in the team.

Funnily enough a lot of Fulham fans hate Tony Khan for that reason, he's totally unqualified to be running a football club, as evidenced by this season. 

But analytics have been around much longer than Tony Khan. The eagles use it a ton, Belichick uses it a ton, it just means extra and more advanced data being available , which literally every single team in the league should want used. It's not something to be suspicious of its benefits.

I think Tony would get it fixed if he gets time, which he very well may not be given. If you watched Daryl Morey's Sloan conference rant against how utterly inefficient soccer is I think someone like Tony could come in and make serious hay once he gets it figured out. But I follow many of the Fulham twitter dudes too and it sounds like the old guard pitchforks will come before that happens.
