I would be interested to know Wasps contingency plans for the upcoming season and the current state of their accounts.
From what I remember they were already beginning to look financially unstable before the pandemic (IIRC weren't there a number of bonds due to be repaid?)
Given the complete...
The secret footballer books (Widely acknowledged now as Dave Kitson) slate most pundits - with the exception of Gary Neville.
He reckons Savage, Mills and certain others were forced into punditry because they were taken to the cleaners by dodgy scams and HMRC chasing them for back taxes.
For...
This is going to descend into a debate far too complex for a coventry city forum!
There will always be exceptions to a rule - but I'd argue that unless we are clearly talking about exceptions e.g. Pep, Klopp, SAF and an early career Wenger - the rest fall within an entirely average and...
Because if you can predict whole life strategies and behaviours across populations, then you can predict the outcome of a sporting event.
You just have to have a robust enough data set
As a biology graduate I find it insane to suggest that you can't use statistics to predict human centric behaviours or the results of them.
I said at the start that I'm not totally on board with the theory, I think it's more correlatative than causative.
But I have to say I do think the role...
Has anybody confirmed this?
Your reply seems very certain and I cant remember reading anything official that says this.
I'm just sceptical that Norwich would sign a contract that pays out even after a player has left. It makes absolutely zero sense to do so.
In theory it works, in practice I...
I'm not sure that this would be true?
I've never heard of transfer clauses being passed forward - Why would Norwich agree to a clause that pays us a fee even if the player has moved on from them?
I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong, but it absolutely makes no sense to me that we would...
They actually do a whole section explaining this as well - it's honestly well worth a read.
Particular some of the chat around game theory and penalty shootouts and around Englands performance.
I'm part way through reading 'Why England lose and other phenomena explained
They make a really compelling argument for managers having statistically zero impact on how a team finishes in the league - Regression analysis actually almost entirely puts something like 70% of the explanation for...
From what I remember Solidarity payments are between jurisdictions, but training compensation still applies within it.
This is a very similar system, to the solidarity one I think...
Tbh, I'm right at the edge of my knowledge here.
I think we are due 2.5% of any Maddison transfer, as part of solidarity payments.
As he was registered for coventry between him being 12 and 18 - we accrue a certain percentage of a total of 5% for each year. Which is weighted more between the ages of 19 and 23.
So providing he is sold this...
Watching Leicester vs Chelsea, Maddison is a great player - Glides with the ball and can pick a pass.
But you can just tell he is an absolute ring piece.

I've never said that liverpool dont do that.
My main points are that by using your wide players and full backs differently - we can still run a successful system.
Your argument was that we are playing it wrong because we dont play like liverpool.
