Quite an interesting graphic of which areas of the pitch Champ clubs control so far Look at ours :lol: Quite a bit at this link https://theanalyst.com/2022/08/english-championship-stats-2022-23/ Very similar to Man City's from February last season: https://preview.redd.it/ucjgnfgyllg81.png?width=96...

It's a very small sample size at the moment, 3 or 4 games. The algorithm can't be expected to be that accurate or precise with such a small data set. 2 of our chances go in and we're top of the league. The point is that it's a better indicator of team strength and predictor of final finishing posit...

Kind of shows how flawed there algorithm is.

What exactly shows that it's flawed?

The stats kids would love a Possession Cup XG League double.....

Some stats are better predictors than others, xG is probably the best we have.

Tall Paul

We're averaging almost 1.5 xG per game and an xG difference of +0.9 per game. That's really good, although it's only 4 games.

Keep doing what we're doing and the goals and wins will come.

What if he actually said "Hillsborough and other, hooligan-related, issues"? Totally different meaning, and I'm pretty sure that would have been his intention

If Dyche wanted to play that way, he could have recruited the players to allow him to play that way. The players we had were Dyches players.

I doubt he could have with the budget available to him.

Tall Paul, you really are amazing.
By the way, I doubt anyone really cares whether you’re right or wrong.
The devils advocate, this could apply to you also. Politeness and humility go a long way.

Hmm, I'm not the one who appears to be refusing to admit they were wrong.

It also tells me that your original "no" response wasn't accurate - because all this Everton thing is selling is a doctored 3D moving picture, which is similar to what I thought in the first place.

It was completely accurate, you were wrong.

The article suggests to me that they are selling photos of shirts based on one of these semi-fictional NFTs. Just like when you buy an actual shirt from the club shop, it's yours and no-one else can wear that particular bit of cloth although they can wear one just like it, with these virtual shirts...

I take it you don't know either? It explains it in the article so I'd wager that he does have a good idea what it is. This. You obviously read the article as your post includes a phrase from it.

I would love a hyper-immersive online fan experience, except that I wouldn't recognise one if it hit me in the face.

Am I right that what they are offering is in effect a doctored photo of yourself wearing a fake shirt, to use as an avatar?

No.

Tall Paul

How can it not from an accounting and reporting period point of view? Because the transfer fee is spread over the period of the player's contract for profit and loss purposes. So if they paid £20m and gave him a 5 year contract the charge for each year would be £4m. Edit - and I think FFP looks at ...

Tall Paul

Looks like the release clause is only valid if someone pays the full amount up front. Both Everton and Newcastle are said to be reluctant to do this for FFP reasons. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11064417/Newcastle-make-approach-Burnley-star-Maxwel-Cornet-Eddie-Howe-keen-add-wi...

Can you really not see? There is more to "value of the company" than what the balance sheet says. Even if we forget the cash, before the takeover we had no loan creditors and no loan debtors. After the takeover we had a £65m loan creditor on which interest of 10% is payable every year, and a £65m l...

When a man with no money promises to pay you £112m, it doesn't make you a millionaire. ALK haven't got any money and they won't be able to pay the loan back unless they sell the club for more than they paid for it . If you genuinely think paying £112m to a company that is skint doesn't reduce the v...

But what about the £112m that ALK has taken out of the club? Hasn't that reduced the value?

It hasn't been taken out yet, it's there as an asset on the balance sheet and would presumably be repayable when ALK sell the club. So no it hasn't reduced the value.

Relegation will have though.

Tall Paul

Massive shame but far too good a player to be playing in the Championship.

Wish him well.

Fair play for staying on topic. Didn’t work like, but you gave it a go.

Yes because of the players available? I can’t pick players that arnt fit?

I highly suspect our back four will be

Roberts, THB, Riley, Maatsen when everyone is fit and firing

Don't you think McNally will be first choice?

Probably because it's standard practice for transfers.

I'm guessing that's got more to do with Financial Fair play rules . https://true-faith.co.uk/for-ffps-sake- ... le-united/

Payment terms of a transfer fee doesn't have any impact on the calculation of profit/loss for FFP.

No. Ideally someone younger and faster than Jay to complement him.

“Decent bit of experience” doesn’t mean 30 odd.

Fair enough, I agree with that.

That wasn't what you asked for in the post I quoted though, Jay provides all of those things.

I think we need a striker with a decent bit of experience, preferably in this league, ready to hit the ground running straight away.

Someone like Jay Rodriguez, for example?

Jason O’Connor is saying the final fee is confirmed at 20.65m

Confirmed by who? Both clubs say it's undisclosed.

Tall Paul

Sorry to make a boring financial point but there is also a tax angle too, which is going up to 25% soon so I’ll use that % as an example. If (say) we sell a player for £20m we would pay tax on that profit of £5m and only end up with £15m (obviously reinvesting some of it is then an option too but l...

I see a lot of Burnley fans on social media (and this forum) making really positive forecasts re the new season. That’s not a bad thing but I can’t see much evidence for this positivity. :shock: Is there not a danger that having such high hopes they might quickly turn to disappointment and then ang...

4/5 signings reported by him. 40m was a suggestion of what we wanted. Maybe we did until we realised only Newcastle were serious bidders.

Maybe the fee was closer to £40m than £10m, nobody knows as it was undisclosed.

Big loss for Burnley but a fantastic signing by Wolves. I think it will be a great fit for Big Nathan aswell

Good job it was James and not Jason, or I would be worried.

Dear god, the overreactions to every bit of news are mental.

I think people forget the gulf in quality between the PL and the Championship. Rodriguez would easily get into double figures as a regular starter.
