Most clubs will have players out of contract at the end of June and no club will want to incur extra costs for contract extensions - they'll just let players go. There's only going to be expenditure (testing, H & S etc) without any income so they'll not be bothered one bit about playing. Aye it’s gone on too long now My betting it will get shelved this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolton va va Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 My guess is that it all depends on the PL decision.......if there is relegation from the PL, the Championship will have to have promotion & all the rest will follow on, promotion & relegation , meaning we're fucked. Our best hope must be, the PL voiding or, less likely, having no relegation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I’m not convinced that the premier league will get clubs to agree to be relegated, if that is the case then that’s the end of relegation and promotion right down the league ladder.

No relegation is now off the table in premier league. FA have confirmed they have told the PL they will not sanction that or a void season. So it’s play to the death (literally potentially) for the big boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is most likely I think I just can't see SkySports letting them bin it all off, they will be able to charge millions for adverts when the bindippers get their grubby hands on the trophy. If you bear in mind there's probably about 28 people watching SkySports most days, anything will be an improvement in their eyes. The PL will go ahead. Or I'll see you all on the town hall steps.

My understanding is the fa are saying you will finish this season. If it’s in ten years it’s in ten years. If you want to end the season now then it’s with relegation. Don’t like it? Then finish the season not sure who has to agree to what. They’ve started a season and if it is to be finished By order of the governing body when possible then so be it it gets finished.

Clubs don’t really get a say they just have to figure out when they are going to finish the games and how or if they want to end the season then agree how it is ended and on what basis relegation is decided. Which to me is fair enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s surely upto a club to have sufficient registered players to fulfill a fixture no? Simple as that and in the top leagues the squads are so big that it’s not the same challenge as Lower leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Well, we will be relegated to League Two, and in the off season various clubs will band together and start the litigation process against the PPG decision....this will end in a mess. And all clubs in Leagues One and Two will start the preseason (if there is one), with 5 players and less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, there will be a cut off point and it won't be a case of we will finish it when we can finish it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 PL clubs have been told the season has to finish based on sporting merit So it’s either finished behind closed doors or PPG, no null and void option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomRepWanderer Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 And what about the 14 day quarantine on UK arrivals, not having it that the majority of Prem foreigners didn't fuck off back home, how would that work for clubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon there will be plenty of players who will be out of contract and fancy a lucrative short term gig anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
