Havent posted on this thread for sometime now. I honestly thought this thread would be closed by now because I thought it would have been null n void by now .
It should of been null n voided by now, but money and not lives lost is driving the need for greed on.
patience Karen. When faced with extinction, they will change. just need a big club to start sqealing, Burnley not big enough
Burnley are debt free and turn a profit season on season, there are lot more clubs in worse positions. They are not run like Bolton where, spending next season's TV money in effect.

The Pfa are at risk of making clubs go bust. Pretty much most teams in England need to cut wages now in order to save them from losing millions and going bankrupt.
I don’t get why the players don’t see this. They are working and should rightly have reduced wages.

I have just had a look at a paper from a couple of days ago,on the back page the brighton owner saying you are saving the nhs now save us,a mega rich owner wanting football saved like it is a special case
This is an easy fix,let owners put in a one off large amount of money to tide the club over till football can get going again,tear up the rules on that for the unpresidented situation
I get what your saying, but that would only work for a few clubs. What about the clubs who don’t have billionaire owners???
it would just be a free for all of clubs only caring about themselves and the clubs with billionaires surviving. What about all the teams below the premier league ?
even if that did happen how would that be sustainable going forward? With no tv money and no gate receipts.
maybe it is time that football was brought back to reality and for instance wages and transfer fees dramatically reduced.

Sorry i was thinking prem clubs as it was a brighton related thing,he is very rich so he has a neck on him,i don't really know about the teams below to comment really,how about the limit is set to what the owner who can put the least in in every league? So nobody can pick their own number, Don't know how you would work it out mind youI get what your saying, but that would only work for a few clubs.

fair enough :). It is a difficult one. I think the only concept I could see working is if premier league clubs put 100s of millions in a collective pot to help each other out and the the lower leagues out. Even then it probably won’t be enough.
there has to be drastic wage cuts in my opinion, otherwise lots of clubs will go bust. Most clubs don’t make money and most of their revenue is spent on wages - which is ridiculous in itself.
as I mentioned part of me thinks let clubs struggle and bring the whole sort of sky pyramid down. No more millionaire footballers, affordable pricing and a game more relatable to ordinary people, but that’s my vision that probably won’t happen
even the whole idea of behind closed doors doesn’t work. From a logistical standpoint and also the fact lots of clubs rely on get receipts

Doubt very much that football will have the priority to use valuable test kits and lab time over essential workers. NHS, transport, food stores, all take priority over the entertainment industry. The general public would simply stop it.
As it takes about 2 days to process a test and they'll be wanting to play back to back football games, the capacity isn't in the system, each sequence of prem games requiring say 1000 tests , not including indirect staff . This would have to be repeat each round unless they went strict isolation. Even if they were allowed to do it, the speed of the tests would dictate the speed of the games. How would injured players be treated between games? . Numerous reasons why it is wrong
1) Morally
2) Impractical
3) Walker & Grealish mentality
4) Football isn't that important, i'd rather have key industry start up before some greedy football club owners
Availability of tests is the last thing Premier League will worry about. They'd pay for tests and get them without any problem. 10 000 tests are neither hard to find if you have a money and neither remotely a big money for entity as loaded as PL is.

Yeah i don't think you should hold out for that ! God only knows how the football landscape will be,it is inevitable clubs will go out of business along with others from all sectorsfair enough :).

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has warned against re-starting football too early amid the coronavirus pandemic, telling FIFA's 211 member associations on Friday that such behaviour would be irresponsible.
Soccer around the world has come to a standstill with domestic leagues on hold and major tournaments such as Euro 2020 and the Copa America postponed for one year.
"Our first priority, our principle, the one we will use for our competitions and encourage everyone to follow is that health comes first," Infantino said in a statement on Friday which FIFA said was specially aimed at its members.
"I cannot stress this enough. No match, no competition, no league is worth risking a single human life. Everyone in the world should have this very clear in their mind."
Meanwhile, discussions are being held around the world over when and how to re-start the season while in some countries there are disagreements over whether players should face pay cuts.
"It would be more than irresponsible to force competitions to resume if things are not 100 per cent safe," Infantino said.
"If we have to wait a little longer we must do so. It’s better to wait a little bit longer than to take any risks."
Infantino reiterated that FIFA was assessing the financial impact of the stoppage so it could prepare the right response.
"You have to know that we will be there and we will find solutions together," he said. "You will never be alone… (and) the world will know where the money goes and, equally important, why the money goes there.
"If football manages to have a discussion where everyone contributes positively, and keeps in mind the global interest over the individual one, I am convinced our future can be better than our past, and we will be better prepared for the times ahead," Infantino added.
