Furlough Leave

Just don't have it mate.

This lockdown could happen again in November? Then what?

I just don't see the point in concentrating on next season. The chief reporter on Sky has just said PL clubs are not even thinking about next season or the transfer window. Fans will not be thinking about season tickets when most are thinking about their finances now.

I just don't see the point in thinking about next season at all. Let's give people hope we can get a little bit of the light at the end of this dark tunnel.

 

Why would clubs not be thinking about next season?

Another advantage of deferring to a November start is that you can plan contingencies in advance - reduction of cup competitions, remove the mid season break, pricing structure for any games that need to be played indoors, you can build clauses into commercial contracts etc.

 

Why not just end the season in Oct then? Start the new one in December?

 

There are all sorts of impacts to consider to pushing next season back - but in the case of finishing this season, then starting another soon after - run in a shorter timeframe - then straight into a summer tournament, player injury and fatigue will be a huge problem. Players aren't robots.

 

Oh behave mate.

Players want to play football. They won't care if they had to play every 3 days.

Next season isn't even important and you can figure solutions out for next season. Finish this season then concentrate on next. Simple.

 

If the season starts late then I think all the cup completions may be scrapped. The FA Cup creates a lot of games for those lower down.

 

Get rid of the carabao cup and leasing.com trophy since less people care about them.

Remove replays from the FA cup first and second round where its predominantly L1 and L2 clubs playing each other anyway.

 

I've just re-read my post, meant to type first and second round replays, not get rid of the whole two rounds!

 

What does a mug like De Bruyne know eh...

I don't care what he has to say.

I said earlier today those that come out and speak clearly have agenda.

You hear nothing from Swindon for example.

Why does the season have to end? It doesn't! It can start before the next season when ever that is going to be.

 

More evidence that the PFA aren't fit for purpose:



Especially embarrassing when you look at what the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, Barcelona and Juventus have done.

 

The PFA are throwing the players under the bus. The PFA should cover some of the wages as they've loads of money.

However, what I don't like is Matt Hancock aka Mr bollocks telling people they should take a pay cut when he isn't doing so himself and neither are any of the government including Boris.

 

Aren't they still working ?.

 

I think the PFA are seriously misreading the situation

 

So what!

Don't tell people they should take a pay cut. It's wrong in my mind unless you're doing it yourself.

He's the one now that needs to step up for communities not football clubs.

A lot of footballers have been giving money to foodbanks etc has he?

The PFA have messed up I agree but leave it to them. Hammer the PFA don't tell people to take a pay cut when it's the conservatives that left everything too late and we're in this mess because of them.

What next Beckham should give a load of his money to the NHS as well?

 

Wouldn't be the first time.

 

Just pointing out something you may not have noticed .

You seem to be contradicting yourself, saying players are donating to food banks then ask should Beckham give loads of money to the NHS, it wouldn't surprise me if Becks hasn't already donated, him and their lass Vicky aren't short of a bob or two.

Yes great gesture from the likes of Pep Guardiola donating 1m euro's and Gary Neville giving his hotels up for NHS use.
