birch-chorley Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Half of league 1 and 2 players contracts expire in June, surely they are all fucked in terms of signing new deals until some sort of normality resumes Of the other 50%, who knows, doubt clubs can continue to pay them in full or anywhere near it so something will have to give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice idea, but it really can't work, as they'll find ways around it and start with brown paper bag payments - plus, I'm not sure that it's right to dictate the maximum wage that an individual can earn in in any industry. In reality, it just needs common sense from those that run football clubs......which of course is generally in very short supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, it just needs common sense from those that run football clubs......which of course is generally in very short supply Indeed. I’d personally like to see it but understand your responses. Hopefully after they’ve all been burnt some rationale may come round and back to the table. I used to be with you on not dictating maximum salaries but have changed my mind. I don’t think it will lead to a drain of talent as it’s still better than a man in the street job and I also can’t think of any other league that would pay better at a similar level. Everyone has a maximum salary per se it’s effectively what your boss/company can afford to pay you and be sustainable. Key difference for me is clubs are about to show they aren’t sustainable.

Johnnyrotten Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Doesn't FFP act as a salary cap, isn't that the idea? We wouldn't expect Sunderland to have the same salary restrictions as Accrington, effectively they would just be saving up the money they get from supporters rather than spending it on the team, and that doesn't seem morally right. If we had 20k turning up every week we wouldn't be content to watch a load of players earning not much more than us, losing to Cheltenham because they can pay the same wages.

Wullie Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Don't we have an enforced salary cap? I know it is a different set of circumstances that got us there, but the EFL themselves have imposed a salary cap on us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted April 17, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2020 I won’t be watching any of our remaining games this season on my iPad. Stuff that. Was talking to the old man yesterday, our interest is so low this season we struggled to name our January signings. The lad from Hull was who I struggled to remember yet he’s played the most. Very memorable signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever there will be an * next to their name. Meaning they are not proper champions. Remember this all about the integrity of the competition NOT money.

SatanGreavsie Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Even if they really want to resolve the EFIL games behind closed doors, there'll be so many inconsequential ones that the argument about taking up ambulance cover etc kicks in. What is the point of playing Ipswich v Bolton - game between a team who aren't going to make the playoffs against a team certain of relegation? Looking at the two tables, if you really, really insist on playing behind closed doors, but want it to be a minimum while being as fair as possible based on current tables and the current form at the point it was stopped, then 5 venues/days would give a fair(ish) result: Day one, venue one 12pm KO Rotherham v Doncaster 8pm KO Oxford v Wycombe Day two, venue 2 12pm Pompey v Sunderland 8pm Fleetwood v Peterborough Day three, venue 3 12pm Dons v Tranmere 8pm Rochdale v Wimbledon Day 4, venue 4 12pm winner match 1 v winner match 4 8pm winner match 2 v winner match 3 The two victors from these games go up, along with Coventry Day 5, venue 5 12pm loser match 5 v loser match 6 Loser goes down with us and Southend 8pm Exeter v Cheltenham winner goes up along with current top 3 in League 2. 10 games on 5 days at 5 venues, minimising hassle and probably giving the same result as if you played every bloody game that's left.

Members Rudy Posted April 18, 2020 Members Share Posted April 18, 2020 Can someone explain to me how the shitting crikey can you play football in the middle of highly contagious pandemic behind closed doors. Its still about 100 in a stadium. Do they test them every game? Every training session? All the staff? All the external staff. We can’t get tests for nurses what chance have we got for thousands of footballers? They’re aiming for 6th June to restart. So to start training you’re gonna be looking at 16th May at the latest. Im not hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 If Liverpool are seen to be denied to be winning the league then we’re going to hear about it for a whole lot longer than if they’re allowed to see it through and win it.

At the end of the day you win a title legitimately, not by saying we would have won it if ....???? More than likely they would have done, but an * (asterix) next to the title if they are given it means no fucker will ever take it seriously and that will do for me. Personally i would build a 25ft wall around Liverpool with barbed wire on top, throw them a few manky kippers over each day to keep them going. In fact put a big dome over the fuckers like they did in the Simpsons movie. Yep i hate the scouse cunts! That asterix plus denying them the chance to celebrate it properly would make me very happy indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
