They'll be no agreement.

I don't think you understand how much many the PL and Championship clubs lost for just going over season finishing date in covid times.

 

Said it around a month ago and was told I was being stupid. Anyone could see this coming. Why put ourselves in a position where we have to dilute the quality just to fit in 3 games a week for some sides near the end?
Extend it

It's a contract! The tv companies have football by balls. You not noticed that yet?

 

Each club lost 10.7%. That's a lot of money.

 

Point is that Bradford City and other clubs will lose money if the season is extended.

Losing money on top of other loses isn't good is it?

 

I firmly disagree.

Why would Rupp care about injury? He will care about the loss of revenue.

It's not just 60k is it?

 

I dunno, there were some posters on here who thought we needed to sell Wood for a similar figure as he'd be out of contract at the end of the season...

It makes no financial sense to do that, but that's how PL clubs operate when they're talking tens of millions, so........

 

The weather alone has called off an unprecedented number of games this season. Last season we only had 1 game called off due to weather, we've already had 4 this season.
Add in an additional 2 matches called off due to Covid and in a shortened season and its a complete disaster.

What I find disappointing is the complete lack of a proactive approach by the EFL to get games played considering the circumstances. Are the Crawley, Stevenage and Leyton Orient pitches also frozen currently? Can they not host games this weekend even if at short notice?
We played no games for 4 weeks, we should've been bringing other fixtures forward and getting games played in that time. Spurs have shown that that is doable this season.

I really do not know how Carlisle are going to get the games played. They are going to have to play 23 games in 83 days, thats a game every 3.6 days. Just one more postponement for them and that becomes impossible

 

Also it's highly likely that the tv contracts when up for renewal will bring in less money than before breaking contracts just won't help matters.

The PL and EFL just won't want to but more power to the tv companies.

 

Not sure if you have a midget with you tonight or banged your head but you are not with it.

I said every PL club lost about 10.7% times it by 20 based on Chelsea's 16m. It's 330m.

Hope you are ok? If you need help with the midget then let me know.

 

If things continue as they are the EFL won't have any other option than to extend the season I believe I read on TB somewhere teams are having to play 3 games in 11 days that's not sustainable over the next 20+ games or so.
