No more football until September.... here’s how to sort it.... 23:16 - Mar 13 with 1825 viewsITFC_Forever

Cancel Euro 2020, move them to June 2021.

Scrap all next next season’s cup competitions.
Resume play in September and play this season to a finish.

Three week break in October for the transfer window and to sort the fixtures out. Then start the new season third / fourth week of October.
Finish mid-May, play-offs done by the end of May.

Sorted.

The one fly in the ointment is how smaller clubs will survive until September with no income.

I’m sure the fat cats in the Prem won’t give a toss.

Maybe the Prem fat cats could do something radical and share round their income and pay to keep the skinny cats of League 1 and 2 alive?

so the sick pay of £80 a week for each player ,will put clubs under ?

And if the players aren’t sick? They still have a contract to be paid.... and many players in L1 / L2 aren’t made of money, they need the steady income the same as the rest of us.

There must be some sort of insurance that football clubs have?

Is there not a basic set of insurances and certification required to operate?

We all know the answer to that suggestion.

Just scrap this season. Where you are now is where you finish. No promotion or relegation. Champions will be those leading the table now.That is the simplest way.

I'm pretty certain there is. It's whether such insurance covers all of football being suspended due to an unexpected global pandemic (and if the insurers pay out under such circumstances).

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Yeah let's give scum another 100 million for their s*** efforts this season, they can stay up and reap the benefit.

Oh and Leeds and WBA tough luck , u got to do it all again.

Would be loads of court cases suing the FA, don't sound simple to me.

September is probably when the next wave of coronavirus will start. Countries like the UK who have made no attempt to eradicate the virus - merely to eep it flourishing out of sight will be the epicentre of the next pandemic.

Perhaps we have to wait until the very small number of people dying from what for the vast majority is a minor respiratory infection to be treated with callous indifference. A bit like the last 100 years with flu perhaps

Some only have contracts until June.

We could be forced to play our remaining games having lost Skuse but having signed Willian and David Silva on a free short term contract.

Literally what I said yesterday


How would you solve the upcoming fixture scheduling crisis? by clive_baker 13 Mar 2020 11:56
I'm not sure the heat is going to kill it. Perhaps it'll reduce the common flu cases and ease pressure on hospitals, but Singapore is 32 degrees right now and it doesn't seem to have helped there.

I would postpone this season until it's deemed safe to start again, and try and wrap up the remaining 2 months in 5 or 6 weeks, whenever that may be. Next season will depend on what it can resume, let's say that is October time, I would propose we cancel all European competitions and domestic cups for 1 year. So the 2020 / 2021 season is purely focused on running the domestic league campaign from Oct - May, then business as usual the following year. Any European qualifying teams from this season who miss out should also qualify when they resume. So it's any club that finished in those spots in either this season or next. If that makes sense.

Indeed. There are all sorts of exclusion clauses in most insurance policies, typically war, terrorism, earthquake, pandemics etc.

Suing the FA? This would be a premier league decision on cancelling top flight, not FA. Also, leeds are in the EFL, not a member of the EPL so I don’t think they could sue a competition of which they are not a member.

This isn't about any club, it is about the safety of fans and players. Nobody knows when this will all be over, so to just say, play out this season before the start of the next one just isn't practical. Leeds, W.B.A. Coventry, Rotherham etc. would only have 3 weeks to sort their squads out before going again in a league above. Chances are they would all be relegated again. Just press the reset button from the start of next season. It is the least complicated way of doing it. It isn't about money, trophies, promotion or relegation.
