No mate.. not convinced McCall rated him.!

They'll be better players than Cooke available this summer.

 

Wonder how it will work. If clubs have any sense they will offer only very low wages.

Perhaps signings will be more geographically oriented?

 

Not sure how it would work.

I would be putting it reduce wages or deferrals in contracts in case of another lockdown happens.

However, from and agent or player side of things not sure I would agree to it because I feel a second/third lock down is happening no matter what anyone says.

 

City will go bust. Again.

 

I think all teams will have small squads next season with youth as back up like the country this will take a long time to get over this

 

Supply will exceed demand. But will it be affordable supply? Many clubs in L1 and 2 will have reduced revenues and players will have to reduce their salary demands, as you say. But will they? Even then, if revenue is hit hard, clubs will have their budgets slashed. There are many unknowns right now - but we do know that lower league clubs are hugely dependent on gate receipts. If fans stay away through a combination of financial pressures, safety fears, and the fear of the unknown, sales could plummet.

 

A waiting game. Until we have a definite timescale regarding the new season (this one is done), nobody will come in and all players whoms contract are up on June 30th, will be released.

Cash is king and with sod all coming in, the club will likely not part with any unnecessary expenditure. Quite right.

Like all in society, so much will change and so many will suffer, both economically and psychologically. Players like Cooke may well end on the scrap heap.

 

You seem to be be following what happens at Liverpool and utd more than you do Bradford city isn't it time you came clean and admit your not even a city supporter and just here to wind us all up.

 

But a footballers career is much, much shorter....

 

He's certainly a strange guy but I'd think he watches Bradford City not sure he's a fan/supporter though, I doubt he'd still be posting if he was just posting to wind other posters up.

 

You can split footballers into two catagories.
Intellegent or not so bright.

The intelligent ones that earn big money plan
a future after their playing career ends.Either
stay in football in some capacity earning far
less, unless they become a top manager.
Or,train for a career/business venture.

Those that aren't able to learn for a good
career or run a business know that their
earnings will plummet so must make provision
through saving etc to help with a life style or
they will finish up doing menial jobs with just
memories or what they were once good at.

Lower league players earn more than the average
employee but often not enough to make provision
for a subsidised life style afterwards.It's a hard
crossroads they come to when playing career is over.

 

I also think Callum Cooke was ok the lad is only 23 years old . Peterborough signed him July 2018 on a two year contract maybe worth keeping an eye on him.

 

The lack of planning through out the years and the extremely lack of direction is really going hit us hard if we are still around.

I just don't see how we go up for years to come if and it's a big IF we can't finish this season.

Think we are done!

 

Many PL clubs are all ready saying they won't be big transfers this summer. Liverpool and Utd have both already said that.
We are now talking about all next season behind closed doors plus we don't know if a second wave will happen
We say a vaccine in 12/18 months but we really don't know and I can't see many football clubs wanting to spend a load of money on wages and signing players on big contracts while this uncertainty is about.

 

Teachers and doctors can work until they are 67. Footballers cannot and therefore need to earn decent money over a shorter career.
