Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Heard from a friend of my lad's with connections to the club that the caterers have been told to prepare for a re-start early June.


Doesn’t mean much that.

We know they plan on trying to start in June so everyone has to get due warning for preparation.


Trying to restart in June and actually restarting in June are two very different things.
 
Mrs BillCarlisle said last night that she's noticed that after after a lifetime watching City I seem to have become completely pissed off with the way football has gone over recent years and in particular the way the FA/PL/UEFA are handling this crisis. She reckons that if somebody like me is fed up with it all it's a sign that the game is fcuked.
Very perceptive is my wife.

I think I share that sentiment, Bill. I wouldn't want to put my finger on what the FA/PL/Uefa and FICKFUFA are trying to achieve within the sport but I'm bloody sure that it isn't for the good of the game.
 
Maybe the delay in any details from this meeting is because our representatives are not excepting the proposals. Would be nice.
 
There are only two possible outcomes from today’s meeting in my opinion. Either the league is voided or the league is stopped. I cannot see that they can control the knock-on effects of the league being stopped, in particular relegation/promotion so my money is on it being voided completely. Weirdly, that might mean we have to scrub the league cup win from our records.

I think there is the option of postponing this season and picking it up again in the Autumn and playing the remaining games, and the FA cup spread out over what would be season 20/21. I don't know what they would do with the CL places for next season but the French and Dutch Leagues have voided so they haven't arrived at the point where it is clear who qualifies. I expect that Uefa will tell the world that from the PL MANUre and Liverpool have qualified but they can't be certain who else so they have limited PL involvement to two teams only!
