Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[denislawsbackheel]

I don't class footballers as essential workers but we're not talking about football taking the first step. You open according to importance. I get that. But you also open according to risk. There's little risk to society through 20 professional football clubs starting to play football.

Un-fucking-believable!

Premier League offered chance to finish season in Australia
The Premier League's been offered the chance of playing 9,000 miles away in Perth, Australia.

Top-flight clubs are currently looking at ways to complete the 2019-20 season, including using up to 10 neutral stadiums without fans.

However English football agent Gary Williams, who is based in the Australian city, has told BBC Radio 5 Live that he believes moving all remaining games there could be a realistic option.

He said he’s been having encouraging conversations with local politicians.

Speaking to 5 Live Sport’s Hugh Ferris, Williams said: “The flights would be direct from London to Perth and they’d have to do isolation when they got over here.”

Fans unlikely to be a matches next season. Could be the end of many clubs and football as we know it. Sad days ahead.

I wonder if the stadiums would have fans and whether they would all be rags or would they be dippers? I suppose it wouldn't really matter who would be booing us

It's only the Mirror so make of it what you will but they have an article saying the 'Big Six' clubs are in conflict with the six teams at the bottom about neutral grounds. They say the top clubs are trying to split the bottom clubs by insisting that relegation would be based on current positions even if the season doesn't restart.

I would hope our club wouldn't be party to this but, hand on heart, I have a feeling we want the season to be completed by any means possible.

For the big 6 read, dippers, rags, and the 2 north London wanker clubs, who all have potentially something to gain from finishing the season.

I'd be amazed if we were in discussion with any of these two faced fuckers. And Chelsea have nothing to gain, the opposite in fact, the rags being gifted 4th.

They are looking to remove relegation to appease the bottom 6 clubs. So we will have teams playing friendlies in neutral stadiums where there are no fans...…………
