Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 It is understood the use of neutral venues remains one of the key contentious issues with the bottom six also anxious to have relegation taken off the table in the event the season cannot be completed. Brighton, Aston Villa and Watford have been vocal critics of the proposal saying removing home advantage will have a damaging effect on the integrity of the league Having no relegation wont then. This is going one way . No relegation . Top two going up and no playoffs . The premier league will pay a compensation to those who finish the season in places 3-6 in all leagues due to the knock on down the leagues. A 22 league premier with the league cup for top flight teams being removed to compensate for extra games . This loss of revenue will have a fair impact on league one and two clubs, expediating the demise of some over the coming year . That's my best guess anyway.

RoyMac5 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Coronavirus: No professional sport in England until 1 June at earliest https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/52619111 Quote Step two ...- which will not be allowed to start before 1 June - includes "permitting cultural and sporting events to take place behind closed doors for broadcast, while avoiding the risk of large-scale social contact". The document states that reopening venues that attract large crowds, such as sports grounds, "may only be fully possible significantly later depending on the reduction in numbers of infections".

FindernRam Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Football is so far up itself right now that it is an embarrassment to the country. Tens of thousands are dying, thousands of businesses are going bust, millions are suffering real financial hardship, the elderly are petrified of going out. Then you have a few vested interests throwing their teddies out of the pram because they may suffer a bit themselves. Football has been in dire need of a reset for years, this may just be the catalyst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got lost among all of the various contrary pronouncements form various bodies..........? I believe the plan is to have the current league season concluded by the end of July (27th I think?), and then play the FA cup at the start of August, with the champions league at the end of August. There’s been some conflicting reports about next season, but I’d think the logical thing to do would be to start in September. That would, rather harshly, leave teams in the Champions league with no break, but I can’t really see an alternative. At least for us we will end up with the month of August off/ for pre season regardless, so it won’t be too bad at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so I haven't missed some great plan publication - it all seems still to be at a very high level (aka "finger in the air"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Those players that want zero risk should be able to opt out if they want but they need to think carefully as zero risk point won’t occur until a vaccine is developed and rolled out. Could mean their playing comebacks for Sept 2021 season. In the mean time the majority of the country will be working in the grey “minimising risk” world which has started already this week. I think most people will agree that risk to the players health is lower than many in society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No tackling, opposed activities of any kind or congested training are allowed" As well as others such as restricting groups to 5 max. How do they expect to move from that to a match environment within 2-3 weeks? Sounds far-fetched and/or half baked to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Read this article about Lookman in the bundesliga and it talked about the RB Leipzig coach waiting for test results this morning before naming the team. This could be the "new normal" where on the day of the game players aren't available having trained all week or even worse game is called off if many players test positive. I guess given that there are no fans as we stand it is not as much of a problem but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players being ruled out of matches on the day because of a positive test will be one of the more major changes. But, I guess you just have to think of it like any other injury and get on with it - we’ve got squads for a reason. Besides, as time goes on I suspect that positive tests will become a rarity.

You are righ but it will affect all sectors of activity but it will not regarded as just another injury. The way the life of fans and people in general are affected by CV19 it will be felt diffrently compared to player X is injured or failed late fitness test.
