Bear in mind that those figures are based upon statutory guidance and therefore may or may not provide an accurate figure. Plus the methodology includes a reasonable developer profit. In reality I'd guess that the actual figures will result in a roughly no profit/no loss position for the owner of the Sporting Quarter, particularly when taking into account the enhancement of Bristol Sport. I don't think that SL will lose a great deal, but I also think that it wont result in a significant profit either. That said it may well cause a significant reduction in SL's required funding of the football club,

yep - and interest - that could be around £150k on top,

Opera does the same for free.

FFS sometimes in the last few seasons we've barely had a Plan A. We have just played two of the toughest teams in Championship away from home in a week and we've lost both by a single goal. And you are flapping about us having no 'morning after pill' ????? It's not like we got f****d!

Can we make this a pinned thread for every time someone in the Premier League or championship or wherever sacks their manager? Allegedly the jobs at several such clubs are open now, or will be after those are filled. Pearson is like any other manager - if the job (including pay) is right he will stay - if a better job (including pay) come along he will go. Unless of course we sack him first.

Unless of course you get promoted or relegated in which case that will be the only metric which counts.

It was a 'self-protection' measure to ensure that there were no broadcasts of fans behaving in a manner which would be embarrassing to the Football Leagues. The world has now moved on, so any such behaviour can be tolerated from now on.

Best thing that ever happened to me. Treat it as an opportunity not a problem.

That would be by the director who signed off the accounts, a certain Mr A Pace. Nothing to worry about there then.

Compare the use of 'considered' and 'an' with the BCFC Holdings disclosure:

If you find the secret you will become a very wealthy person!

Imagine doing that by hand for a large sample! Agreed, I suppose my real issue is that if there is a unexpected result then the secret of the analysis is "why?", the answer isn't always "it will return to the expected value in due course." No, far simpler, and back to my previous point The performance a team/player achieves is a known. As is the performance of the 'population' as a whole. Moving on a bit if the statistical analysis shows a difference, and I mean a statistically significant difference, not a numerical difference, then the reason why is the really important bit, not the difference itself.

A team will always match its own performance. It is perfectly possible for a team to consistently out perform someone else's opinion of the average performance of all teams. Take Conway, he has scored 4 goals and has an xG of 2.42. There are several possibilities, one is that this is just a small sample and in reality in this case 4 and 2.42 are simply equivalent answers, with no statistical difference. Another possibility is that Conway is simply 50% better at scoring goals than the statistically average player. Therefore he would expect to score at a rate 50% higher than the average, he will therefore expect to outperform the xG rating by a significant margin. The same applies to teams.

Plenty thanks, back in the good old days (???) before you could put the numbers into a table and a computer would work out the answer. Personally I wouldn't count plotting expected goals for against expected goals against as statistical analysis, it's just two sets of data plotted together to create a pretty picture. The secret of statistical analysis is understanding the data sets and the null hypothesis. But then again I suppose poissonly I'm normally a mean stats snob. (I'll let my stats lecturer take the credit for the whole of the last sentence ???)

Is there is a more meaningless graph to plot out than 'Expected Goals For' v 'Expected Goals Against' I'd love to know what it is. Do they actually know that football is decided on 'Actual Goals Scored' v 'Actual Goals Conceded'?

The technology isn't the problem - it's the implementation. In cricket it works well with the limited challenges and "umpire's call" everyone knows the rules and accepts them. Everyone can see and hear what is going on and the communication is great. The process over-rules the truly bad and ignores the dodgy. In rugby it is used to cover any instances of foul play and assist the referee with the decision. it works well and everyone can see and hear what is going on. The process enables the referee to over-ride their truly bad decision, provide other angles and ignores the dodgy. In football it is all secret, there's no communication, it applies whenever and however VAR decides, it can effectively over rule any decision relating to a goal. a penalty or a straight red card, in a seemingly random way. It's used to criticise the officials 'You need to look at at screen as you have made a mistake.' It takes far too long. If multiple camera reviews can't establish what happened in a minute, it cannot by definition be a clear and obvious error. However I do think that the Premier League managers are a major problem, in endlessly complaining about every official.

Fair play to the critics, he was both running around a lot and waving his arms around in that clip!

That reads better from my perspective.

Of course, but we have a team of misfits, people who don't want to be here, just run around with their arms flapping, can't score goals, still in nappies, useless at everything ???

He's great but he needs to work really hard at defending. Plenty of times he still stands and watches. Then Vyner gets the grief.

So back from the game, the two who impressed me the most were Vyner and DaSilva. For someone who gets slated so much Vyner was brilliant, he does so much clearing up as the last man, he's even started yelling instructions at Sykes and Naismith which is great to see, may be one day he will be appreciated! And DaSilva - what has happened to him this season, gone are the timidity and mouse like behaviours, he seemed to spend large chunks of the match attacking, and being around the penalty area, plus he is so quick in the tackle.

Absolutely - I have it on the best authority that the club were more shocked by the offer than anyone else.

To be honest I really don't care who is playing - some of the football is absolutely world class - and supporting City has been fun this season!
