Premier League Imminent as EFL suspends their leagues

[Headshrinker]

There is no way it will start again that early.

Things are only going to get worse for you and the peak is still not near.

 

[SUFC Guy]

I'd be more of a floating 'GoAndWatchThemGetHammeredAgain' type supporter mate!

Think is there will be no games played at the Sty because crowds of over 80,000 have been banned

Just tried Trainline for a refund on train tickets no refund available £180 down

Threaten to take it further, or contact a newspaper - Tell them that it's not ethical to profit from a global health emergency. They will buckle and you'll get your money back, if you push it..

My cat has gone into hiding until April 3rd

10-14 weeks to peak infection rates takes you to June, so no way it will restart then.

The infection distribution is a curve and the peak is only half way in, so add another 10-14 weeks for the remainder of the distribution to fall away to 'safe' levels.

The earliest any footie will be played is Sept/Oct, so this season may well be written off.

Alternatively we finish 2019/20 in Sept/Oct then start a 19 game season in December.

That would require European wide joined up thinking to synchronise the league's + European qualification. Obviously in a fast moving situation like this it will take time to sort out and some places could be worse off than others. Factor in players will need a pre season and world cup qualification and it becomes a headache.

I’d imagine the format of next years European trophies will need to change to accommodate a shorter season.

A lovely bun fight ahead where self interest takes all.

FIFA will want the shitty Qatar WC in 2022 to take precedence, UEFA will want their Euro21 cash cow and the national leagues and clubs will want to re-start their own competitions.

I confidently predict a right bastard shambles.

Hopefully this might see an end to stupid tv deals that just benefit the players. FFS can't they live on a £100k a week? Most of them piss it way on gambling anyway.

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

How does wednesdays point deduction factor in? Plus, is it worth me wasting all of my future wasted footy bets on Cheltenham today?

 

[Varkanoid]

Utter nonsense, all the fans will just go to the pub Saturday afternoon and risk getting it anyway. 596 confirmed out of 60,000,000+ people. First time a minority is actually being taken notice of.

Ridiculous.

 

[XM657]

This suspension will go way beyond 4th April they will keep extending so looking forward to the premier league in June then a restart in late September

That sounds good to me, most sensible suggestion since this whole debate began. Suspend, restart whenever and just carry on, one season into another, it will eventually catch up and normality will reign again. As a species we are adaptable so lets do so whilst roaring The Blades to the highest league position for many a year.

 

[Grappler]

FFS......thanks China!!

 

[Andy67]

If you paid on your credit card then you can claim it back

 

[Harry's Game]

I can't wait to discuss what colour milk Wilder buys, or which player is most likely to turn vegan.

Red Top.. and deffo Sander.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Coronavirus: English Football League fixtures to be suspended until 4 April

What happens to the players contracts if the ban is exteneded and they plan to finish the league program in the early summer months?

Don't contracts end at the end of June, some clubs could have a shaortage of players?

Surely FIFPRO will just agree an across the board temporary extension?

But what about the replacement free signings that clubs will have lined up to replace those leaving and whose contracts start 01/07?

Supercomputer has Norwich winning their next 9. Supercomputer results predict 10 successive defeats for us. And all other teams defying form. Relegation for us, BOTTOM by 5 points.

What’s the point in asking questions no one can answer? Ultimately this will be a matter of fact, not opinion so until the facts are known what’s the point in guessing?

Ridiculous.

They've stopped testing mild cases but they think we have 10k now. That's up from zero a few weeks ago.

It's not a minority who will get this. It's a majority.

 

[thawot]

Wow. People don't half chat a load of bollocks about Coronavirus.

 

[Tom Bott]

Did the several sources get it from the same source though? That’s what usually happens.

Relish is better.

It’s Bielsa - SpyGate all over again

CoronaGate ?

Exactly! Satdi - Tuesday.... Satdi - Tuesday.

It's only day one as far as footie goes, we've only just started.
