It’s simply not getting voided. It’s not happening. We are starting in league two next year either via a closed door finish the season quick or a finish now and ppg calculation. That’s what is going to happen in scotland and it’s going to happen here for me below the Prem. Prem I think gets completed

  • I love that. When my house gets repossessed and me and the wife are living under a bridge at least I can turn around and say I told you I was right.

    Wheels will gradually start turning. We will come off this new way of life slowly for obvious reasons. If a small tax rise happens for a short period, so be it. Street parties aplenty too.

I think in the end in terms of time it won’t be effected as many predicted ( sure someone on here said we won’t kick a ball till September)

this season gets wrapped up behind closed doors and next will get re jigged (less cups)

The financial part is the problem

Given the money involved the Championship will need to be completed too

Football or not.

If they don't start very soon. Its pre season training again

We could just wing it, but a lot of clubs have a lot to play for

I think efl timescales are fanciful

Or fantasy

Or both

Yeah The Prem has an issue as if they don’t fulfill the fixtures and fulfill tv obligations they will find themselves losing tv money which will send some to the wall. 
 

it’s a mess and going to take some sorting

I was pencilled in to be back in work on Tuesday. That ain’t happening. 
Think they will have to push next season back at this rate

I said September, think that’s fair assumption given the circumstances 

Things won’t be ‘normal’ until we have a vaccine or herd immunity, we are a long way off both 

hard to see mass gatherings like football getting a green light before then 

Behind closed doors? Maybe for the Prem where it’s all about TV revenue but for league clubs especially 1 & 2 they need gate receipts to survive. Be better off keeping the players on government furlough then starting when the turnstiles are open

I see your point birch 

but imo we will be playing well before September 

Yes revenue for most will be a problem, I see the efl have put on hold the 125m advance from the premier league while they address player wages

This is a rough estimate as it stands.

So mid May the earliest they can resume

2 weeks of training to June

2 months to then complete the league 

August 

2 week break

6 weeks of pre season 

October to start the next league. 
 

If we can resume mid May.

The CL and Europa is tricky and it might get binned

That’s my thinking timescale 

it’s how next season is managed 

Would you need 6 weeks pre season?

Not after only 2 weeks break

Dunno how signing players works

I'd be pointing out to the efl that the embargo is unreasonably restrictive and goes way beyond what was intended

Potentially not. But you risk injuring players with work overload. 
Plus it’s the coaching staffs busiest time, they work 6 day weeks 10 hour days working new stuff out it’s a tough to do in 6 weeks. 
 

A cup might get binned but the FA cup they would want to keep because smaller clubs depend on it, League cup is full of sponsorships.

Its a mess. 
 

Also there’s the issue of next season changing in prep for the 2022 WC

Not sure CL will be binned with the sums at stake. Curtailed, yes.
