    - This .... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 10, 12:08:40
  - 100 this. Even if you could quantify 'over perform' it is statistically impossible as (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Jun 10, 11:01:49
    - I don't think that's true; we know what everyone's budget is (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 10, 11:02:53
      - That's if you believe there is a perfect correlation between budget and performance and (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Jun 10, 11:16:04
        
        It's easy to say if the club is... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 10, 12:21:41
        
        Yes, and it's budget that dictates what that long term mean is (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 10, 11:25:43
  - It's twaddle speak. Like giving 110% (NCFC) - camcan, Jun 10, 10:50:52
    - If it is twaddle speak then Knapper is truly out of his depth (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Jun 10, 13:36:20
      - I think what we mean is that over-perform or out-perform (NCFC) - APB, Jun 10, 15:32:03
    - I don't agree. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 10, 12:29:39
      - You’re obsessed with data and numbers, which I understand (NCFC) - APB, Jun 10, 12:55:53

- It’s language used by Atanasio. He kept saying that about the Brewers (n/m) (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Jun 10, 10:41:08
  - It's pretty simple isn't it? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jun 10, 11:39:32
    - Yes, that's exactly the metric he is using. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 10, 12:31:46
    - Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 10, 12:02:09

  - 1 and 2 underrated , 3 overrated. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 10, 12:53:15
    - I'd say Alex Neil vs Neil Adams is the obvious argument against your view on coaching (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 10, 13:13:22
      - No that kind of enhances my view. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 10, 21:38:44

    - No, not necessarily (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 10, 10:28:35

        Yeah, USAC is right when he says it's easy to see whether a club is over/under performing (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 10, 14:00:24
    - Depends how badly he does (NCFC) - jamesward, Jun 10, 10:20:22
