And this clarity comes from where exactly?
Is Fisher actually involved in anything these days? He got shunted off to work on his imaginary ground, is that all he's doing. If it is I hope we aren't paying him!
Anderson ShelterWhat's his ridiculous nickname going to be?
I'm pissed that SISU can't even hire someone with an amusing name or one that's easy to change into an amusing name. Bastards.
Just like yes man Mowbray!!!!!!!!!
BTW what the hell is going on with SISU - this last 18 months they seem to be appointing some great people - I am finding it hard to hate them with as much passion as I did. This really goes against the grain!
maybe Joy is now being advised properly, instead of by Fisher, who lets face it, was hellbent on ruining Coventry City
You must think waggot, fisher, orange ken, etc. etc. did what they wanted ,without reporting to joy . for the ok. and Mowbray met with joy to get what he wanted first, she gave him the ok first before he would join. This man has been brought in to tighten the purse and cut out any waste, which is what joy wants that's his brief.
All sounds very grand and important but what has he been brought in to do exactly?
http://www.soccerissue.com/2013/08/25/soccerissue-interview-with-david-sally-and-chris-anderson/Sally: “Liverpool have recently appointed Ian Graham as their new Director of Research. He’s a mathematician, the guy who developed the Castrol Index [a player rating system used in World Cup 2010 and other major tournaments, O.D]. A football-stats blogger named Ravi Ramineni started working with the Seattle Sounders last year. By the way, we’re also open for offers from clubs [laughs]“.
Chris Anderson is a pioneer of soccer analytics and a sought-after football industry advisor. A former semi-professional player in his native Germany, Anderson is passionate about using rigorous and appropriate analysis to acquire, manage, and build and sustain clubs in the context of global competition for talent and success.Some of his past projects have involved bespoke football club acquisition due diligence and advice. Others have produced econometric models and algorithms useful for understanding, predicting, and improving team performance and valuing clubs’ player assets. Chris’ work can be used to build more effective teams while maximizing the impact of club expenditures.

SW set up a meeting with ACL/Wasps next week. Then announce this to the CT.
Gone the next day.
Replacement drafted in within 24h.
Of course there's a chance SW resigned himself and waited to depart till replacement was found, but it rarely happens that way, and when it does the new and the old CEO attend a mutual press conference shaking hands and smiles to the cameras.
Where's SimonThe meeting next week is a normal ACL management one. Not a meeting to discuss rent or the lease
CEO's leaving are not always announced on the day it is agreed
Replacement drafted in within 24 hrs of announcement supports the premise the decision was made earlier
"Rarely happens" - means it some times does!
Certainly appears as if he is from that school of thought, can't say I'm a massive fan of that approach.Does he sound a little from the same school as that Brentford owner/Chairman?

He's probably just really shit at his job.... rather than being hellbent on destroying us.
Unless of course he's a Sunderland fan and he's still not over 1977
Tony or could be he has contacts to build a stadium then lease it to us so sisu or otium entertainments continue to bleed us dry"Anderson Sally partners with clients to help them acquire and manage sports properties. We help our partners determine the right valuation for football clubs and club assets.

We help connect the dots between sport, strategy, and performance. We are passionate about achieving better results for our clients – results that are uniquely tailored, pragmatic, and have lasting impact."
Sounds to me like he's someone with the right attributes to get the club ready to sell.
they are connected on linked in - so may be trueMaybe he's bumped into Leonard Body somewhere.
Ooh there's a name almost forgotten, Is he still a share holder?

Its a good question OSB and naturally I don't have an answer. I can only speak from my own experience. We've been using algorithms in chess for decades now. They're commonly known as chess engines and are spatially aware, if not better then most Humans now.
Here is an example of an engine grunting it out.
[video=youtube;tGX6erOSb2U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGX6erOSb2U[/video]
To show what the engine is actually grunting out, the best programme I can show you is Thinking Machine 4. A nice little GUI placed on top of an engine to show its thought processes. This toured some exhibitions and art galleries a few years back.

If he has been brought in to apply the same principles to a soccer pitch then I would say this may be a very progressive move for CCFC.
