i found that quote a bit funny. i was hoping that something like this system would be far more useful than that. i mean, football manager (the game) has been used for that purpose for ages now.

also, i don't believe that a system like this one is new. i can't find the source, but sometime ago i read SAP's owner (founder?) had a system much like this one built for the german national team.
