Friction and division growing at Premier League clubs over the signing of individual coronavirus agreement forms

Legal concerns have been sparked with several players concerned about where they would be left if they were to test positive for the virus

Some Premier League dressing rooms are facing growing friction amid divisions over whether to sign individual coronavirus agreement forms.

Players and staff are being asked to sign what amounts to a code of practice confirming they understand and agree to their club’s Covid-19 protocols as part of 'Project Restart'.

But tensions are rising in a number of top-flight dressing rooms between players who have indicated a willingness to sign up to the measures and those who are reluctant or opposed to doing so.

Club and Premier League sources have insisted the documents are not liability waivers and form part of the guidelines aimed at heightening awareness about and protection against the pandemic.

But they have still sparked legal concerns with significant numbers of players concerned about where they would be left if they were to test positive for the virus.

It is understood there are players who have already sought legal advice and, in some cases, been advised not to sign the form.

One dressing room source at a Premier League club told Telegraph Sport: “There are splits of opinion among players about the form and it’s causing tensions.”

A dressing room source at another top-flight club added: “Whether it’s legitimate or not, there’s a mistrust about that form. Some players are happy to sign it but that’s a big issue for those who are not. It’s risking splits.”

Captains and Professional Football Association (PFA) representatives from the 20 Premier League clubs are due to hold talks via videolink on Wednesday with issues around the form likely to be one of the subjects under discussion as footballers brace themselves for testing and a return to full training.

There are many players keen to try to finish the season if it is deemed safe to do so but anxieties appear to be the greatest among those with vulnerable wives, children and relatives, out-of-contract players, and those from the black, Asian, and ethnic minority community given that the statistics around the virus show increased risks for black men and women.

Unfortunately the government by being so weak with their policy. They could stop it tomorrow if they wanted to.

It’s like the policy on holidays. They know very well that we are not going abroad this year and probably not in the UK either yet they keep using words like “probably” or “unlikely” so the holiday companies can keep taking the piss by saying they are flying again in June when they know very well they won’t be carrying the passengers they need.

££££ is all that matters.

I don't believe for one second that the F.A or PREM league has suggested 1 of the so called ideas, this is the press taking the piss

Maybe these ideas are just bullshit...not saying they are,but could be so the Prem can eventually void the season and then say "we tried every way we could to resume,but cant".
Would that avoid them paying monies back to the TV companies or am i just thick as fuck?

You aren't thick. That's a legitimate train of thought.
 
Now talk of voiding the Season and crowning Liverpool Champions.

Okkkkkkkkkkay.

Does this mean we will be crowned FA Cup winners as we would likely have won it.

This has been about those fuckers right from the start,

Probably the latter, to be honest. It's a major requirement for membership on here!

In a split second they have to think should I turn my face or should I take action to make sure this tackle doesn't break my leg

Decisions decisions

The ONLY reason people want to end and void the season is so that Liverpool dont win the league. Thats it.

Next season starting at the normal time wont happen....so what is the problem with just delaying things, resuming this season at a later, safer date? Next season will be delayed anyway...if it starts later adjustments could possibly be made for facilitating games in the shorter time frame....maybe cancel the league cup...even FA cup....

Like, feck Liverpool...but all these ridiculous suggestions of facilitating matches as quickly as possible are just that, ridiculous.

Just wait.

Obviously this has nothing to do with tens of thousands of people still dying globally from a disease,that there is still no vaccine for.

It is now being used as an excuse not to play football,stop Liverpool from winning the League.

And you wonder why people despise the Victims,
 
BREAKING: #PremierLeague clubs could be permitted to complete the season at their own grounds following a change of heart from the authorities. A number of police forces have no issues with matches being played at original venues, if safety criteria can be met. [

As long as #PL clubs can provide assurances to local constabularies that they will have enough stewarding resources to maintain the two-metre social distancing guidelines, completing the season on a home and away basis is not viewed as an insurmountable obstacle. [

trying to control a crowd of fans is like eating soup with a fork

It has to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read in my life, I honestly expected it to be a joke. Expecting professional football players to turn away at the point of a tackle is so fucking dangerous, it’s unreal.

Just scrap the fucking thing.

Players have family ,kids,underlying health issues

tell the parents of the six week old baby,the five yr old,the nine year old,the twelve year old,the thirteen year old,the teenagers,those in their twenties and thirties that have died don't matter because they are only a small percentage of the total

I have posted the evidence for long term lung damage from China and other countries and also scientists and drs here and in america,google it

Look at what Dr Eva has had to say in the lungs of atheletes

I had covid start of March and still get breathless on exertion and I had perfect lungs before

I never said they didn’t matter so I don’t know why you’re mentioning it.

How can there be evidence for long term lung damage sustained from a disease that has only been recognised for a few months.

The received wisdom is that covid is not dangerous for the vast majority of people under a certain age so we can’t indefinitely suspend everyone’s lives just to benefit the minority.

Deaths from non covid illnesses are 25% higher than is the norm, the suggestion is that the spike is attributable to the reluctance of people to use the health service and the over concentration on covid by the nhs.

You need to look at the bigger picture

China have had data and scans from the earliest cases which is way before anyone else,the virus causes lesions in your lungs made of sticky substance which is why you can't breathe,the evidence is it can cause permanent damage in the lungs for those who get it badly,likewise here an american drs are seeing the same thing,they know what is permanent or likely to get better as that is their job

There is no suggestion about the covid figures,the other causes are a different subject

this is highly contagious and we know a large part of the population who get it have no symptoms of very mild symptoms that are neither here or there,they spread it around unknowingly,this is not just about the players,several in germany,portugal and Spain have been tested positive not knowing they had it

You seem to not know what this virus is about

Playing a contact sport when everyone else who are related has to social distance is a nonsense

injuries they have to go to hospital with taking them somewhere they don t want to be

A contact sport is not necessary,it is not safe,why the fuck should they risk it to jolly on the nation,would boris and the cabinet have a game of football ? No they wouldnt
