Whatever's afoot at CCFC, this appointment speaks volumes; as some have suggested, Andersen's task could simply be to 'prime' the club for sale. It ties in with SISU/Otium's long-term strategy for the club, but how they could even conceive that the club would garner interested buyers is beyond me - even with Andersen's expertise.
Perhaps this is why Waggot left; he knew what the plan was, and knew he had to vacate hastily because a ruthless, grade A businessman was being lined up for his job.
Whatever's afoot, it doesn't smell positive. Fisher is conducting something quite underhanded methinks. For a change.
Football has never been so much fun.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.

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.

...onwards & upwards PUSB
Well at least him & his oppo Sally are smart guys, but can't find any ref to concrete results, it is all theoretical.

interesting quote at the end of the soccerissue article
But do you think there will be a stat-geek actually running a club?
Anderson: “I don’t see that happening”.
Sally: “There are too many cultural boundaries”.
Seems not to be the case
Might download the book and see what it is all about though
Does it make sense to a normal person?Not a short book, lots of numerical analysis results. Probably up your street then
The video someone posted earlier is worth a look, the Prof succinctly summarises most of the conclusions he reaches in his book.

If it does, half this forum have no hope of understanding it.
I don't think the work he does I'd GCSE level regression, more like postgrad level econometrics1) There is no such thing?
2) To understand the book it would help if you knew what a linear regression analysis is. It isn't very difficult,
GCSE stuff http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/statistics/scatterdiagramsrev5.shtml
Only half, I reckon you are shit at estimation.
Since I've been on this site I've learnt about the law and accountancy. Well I'm buggeredif I'm getting into this shit from now on just going to go and watch football.
Was hoping somebody would go halves with me on this as well

So, is this an admission that were not really building a new stadium yet?
