I've heard this concern quite a bit but I can't see who will commit money to season tickets and sponsorships without knowing when a new season is starting.

Smaller clubs with little or no TV money can't survive without gate income and matchday spend.

Until someone sets in stone a new season start date, especially with crowds allowed, I don't see any validity to the argument that the current season needs to end to help clubs.

You only have to look down the Road to S6.
I believe over 60k have renewed.
 

Zero chance this seson ends on the pitch. Germany (the all mighty experts on Covid-19) are now increasing in new infections and now this, the talk now needs to be about how does the EPL & EFL agree how to end the season.

Training is continuing as normal, I fail to see how this story backs up your opinion of “zero chance” of football returning this season.

If the situation is so bad, why haven’t Cologne closed the club and training ground?

They will. A sniff of the virus shuts it all down, Koln don't want to be seen as the party poopers so are putting a brave face on.

I will bet u £50 no football until September earliest in Europes top leagues.
 
When Segio Aguero doesn't want to play the whole thing is a farce. How many players want to actually play? Playing at neutral benues, playing abroad FFS it's a joke. Just end it, use PPG like France and have done with it.

A sniff of the virus is in Cologne and they haven’t closed the place down, so you’re clearly talking bollocks.

I don’t gamble mate and I’ve also got no interest in making bets with strangers online.

Had this text me earlier. Supposedly originated from Dean Windass...

Premier league is back in June. I have a lead from someone who works for a sport travel agency that manages logistics for some top teams (spurs, city, wolves, newcastle, rangers to name a few). The company has been tasked to arrange hotels and travel for 8 weeks starting mid may.
All premier league teams will play their remaining games at st georges park behind closed doors and for TV only. The complex will host 2/3 games a day that will be streamed live.
The players will go into isolation mid may at select hotels in the vicinity of st georges and will train at local clubs grounds. They will not be able to see family and friends during the period of games. Each player will be tested regulary to ensure safety and hotels will be locked down for players only.
Looks like we are going to have a world cup style June with loads of games to watch.

Is it only me that finds that scenario awful?

Depressing way to finish the season that but it will at least finish the season and is still better than stopping it or voiding it. It is in a fairly central location so I can see why they would use that venue and I guess they feel they can keep every player safe in one area of the country.
 
Postman are walking door to door, delivery drivers, and take away deliveries are all carrying on as normal; almost every supermarket has little control over shoppers once they're shopping and some care workers have only just taken delivery of PPE this week, it's practically unusable and more than likely came from unsterile conditions. These are the things that are spreading illnesses and that's before we get to the knobs who simply aren't abiding by the rules.
A couple of thousand healthy people working in controlled conditions (I'm sure it'll be safer than your average hospital) is not going to cause an upsurge in deaths.
 
I wanted the season to finish but if its at neutral venues then just finish it now,no point if a home game is not at home!! Only fair way would be if our game at Villa & City v Arsenal is played. We win that & we get 5th & into Champions League & Villa go down. You cant relegate a team when they have a game in hand even though we’d beat them.

You can on PPG. I agree though stop digging now, end it. After 75% of the season you are where you are and it's no fluke so fuck the moaners and apply the rule through the whole football league.

Good luck sueing against an act of god (I mean an act of China)

It just doesn't work like that.

When groups of people are locked together, one instance can spread like wildfire. You've then got potentially thousands of cases that need medical help etc and the whole thing spreads out further.

It's simply a ridiculous proposal.

Wish I could have put my teeth in and come across like that.
 
The German league was supposed to start in a couple if weeks but the govt is no nearer making a decision. The news from Cologne with 3 testing positive means the whole squad/backroom there have to go into quarantine so that delays it for another 2 weeks...then assuming another show symptoms in a few days/week...add another week. This will happen a lot.

In terms of the Premier League apparently there are numerous players and quite a few clubs who are considering refusing to play if and when a start date/games are scheduled?

What happens then?

They can't suddenly just award the games to the other team. Imagine the outrage....it's like Schools...they will go back and loads of families will choose not to send their kids. The govt won't fine them. They can't.

What will the Premier League do then? This is not like a normal situation when a team refuses to play?

There will be players who will fake injury or symptoms as they don't want to play...clubs will do all they can at the bottom to avoid playing hoping the season will get canned. My opinion but it will happen. Even if players are tested ans are fine they can still refuse to play.

Imagine the moral outrage if the Premier League started sanctioning teams who had players Ill or who refused to play due to choosing not to as concerned about their own safety.

There is not a hope in hell of games starting any time soon and this Project re-start whilst admirable is fanciful nonsense really. I am amazed so many actually think this is going to happen. As I have said before one player/official gets it and the whole thing is finished even before it starts.

Sadly, with no prospect of paying spectators for a ages Football is not going to be the sane for a long, long time. 18 months is a guess but reasonable in line with any vaccine time frame mooted...we will see a lot of clubs go to the wall. The government would need to step in and financially help clubs as without it...we might see a football league with less than half of its current situation 92 clubs when it becomes fully functional again.

Its an awful situation but sadly Football is right at the bottom of priorities. If they can't even get Schools back until prob Sept (300 kids in a primary school for instance is equivalent to numbers needed to have a game of PL foot) then there is no way the govt will allow a far less essential thing to start before it?

Like in a hospital? (Why are people with contagious diseases taken to a place where vulnerable people (cancer and surgery recipients are treated?)
Like in a care home? Where there are vulnerable people who will need hospital attention. Young fit people are not at risk, you feel sick? Don't play football just like if you had the flu, a cold or a strained muscle.
