What is "Feck Off, Franchise!" all about? It's a website that uses advanced statistical methods to compare current division one performance with results collated from the past ten seasons in division one, to yield a precise prediction as to which sides will be most likely to be relegated from the division at the end of the current season.

How are the predictions calculated? Using scientific methods too complicated and dull to ever be explained*, we have built a predictive statistical model to give the most likely final relative points totals for the bottom five placed teams in division one. This model is constantly updated to reflect actual performance. We then combine current team performance with predicted points threshholds to predict which teams will stay up, and which shitty little Franchise will be relegated. In the event of Franchise FC looking likely to avoid the drop, our predictions WILL reflect this. Though we won't be happy about it.

Who are Franchise FC? They are a football team from Milton Keynes that were awarded the division one league place that used to belong to Wimbledon FC. The team were moved to Milton Keynes to be part of the facilitating development to enable ASDA to be granted planning permission for its proposed new superstore at Denbigh. As such, Franchise FC are widely disliked in football circles as representing the interests of big business ahead of those of the fans and the communities that support football clubs.

Do you think Charles Koppel, Pete Winkelman, Kjell Inge Rokke, Bjorn Rune Gjelsten and the mealy-mouthed clueless suits from the FA are a shower of low-life bastards who deserve lingering deaths for their corrupt actions / shameful greed / pathetic intransigence? The "Feck Off, Franchise!" team do not wish to comment.

*If you really care, we use an orthogonally rotated structural component model derived using TETRAD. Obviously.
