Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Regardless, Sky and BT won't want to be the reason some clubs collapse. They'll push the boundaries to get their payday but I just can't see them crippling the leagues. It would be a prime case of cutting your nose off to spite your face

Especially with the likes of Amazon and/or Netflix interested.

If they scrap VAR now mid season how would a club feel if they got relegated because of an offside goal was given whereas it would previously have been spotted

it’s now too ridiculous to even take any resumption seriously and I’m bailing out for the rest of this season

That really is a great point.. One for the legal team whoever gets relegated should it happen

Stood on the kippax in 1992 I turned to my mate and said this shit will be the death of football and BSkyB would rather teams play in front of that, I pointed to the wooden fence where the platt lane used to be. The Tv companies don’t wont us here they’d rather us be at home spending our cash on their dishes. It’s 28 years since the cheer leaders, fireworks, Gerry Ratherty (was it him or a cover band) and a drab draw against qpr all faded into memory but my prediction is finally coming true.

The TV companies, the FA and some clubs don’t give a shit about the match going supporter they like uefa care more about the sponsors name on the pitch side boards or the bloke in Norway or Singapore whose willing to pay top price to watch his team sat in front of his giant tv whilst wearing his rag top and holding his Liverpool beer glass which contains a beverage from the preferred drinks partner of the club/association.

What happens if the season goes ahead behind closed doors do they help the clubs down the ladder whose gate receipts is there only means of staying afloat or do they just abandon them because the premier league is more important than they are.

Hmmm...interesting. It appears that the PL will lose between 300-350 mill TV money even if they can finish the season as the ‘product’ isn’t as contracted. This had led to some clubs questioning the rationale behind even trying to finish it.

So basically pay back between £17-£18 mill for each club,be worth it to see the scousers not lifting the league title . ;-)

I'd take the last one with nobhead stone with a huge pinch of salt the needy ****.
 
Unless I'm mistaken a concrete decision needs to be made within 14 days according to UEFA
 
Greed before need. The season will shamelessly restart, the fixtures will be drafted so that the dippers get two very easy games against teams who have nothing to play for, they will get the required 6 points, second wave of virus hits hard due to complete buffoonery by the government in lifting lockdown measures too early coz they haven't got a fucking clue what they are doing.
Dippers have the required points, trophy handed over, thousands of scouse and Norwegian fucktards celebrate at Klanfield, season voided, premiership hierarchy get the result they lusted for, job done, thousands more deaths but red blood stained ribbons on the trophy.

Funny how they're suddenly all against neutral venues once Sky/BT aren't going to pay them full whack.

How much would cost each club and indeed would we have to pay it ? Or do you mean something else ?
