sharkyvilla Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 You would hope that they've drawn up several solutions depending on when they get the go ahead to start playing again, which at the moment nobody has a clue about. I wouldn't get my knickers in a twist about leaks that the PL want to do this, that or the other as it's mostly irrelevant when we have no idea when they'll be playing again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 3, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2020 Do Manchester City still potentially have 20 games to play? 10 in the league, 7 in the Champions league and 3 in the FA Cup? - or did they get knocked out of one of those? How the hell would you fit 20 games in three competitions in?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they should just give the title Liverpool and void the rest. Edited April 3, 2020 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they will do whatever it takes to complete the season even if it’s in 6 months time. I know but the longer the season takes to restart the more nonsense it becomes because so many factors will be different plus the knock on effect for the following season Edited April 3, 2020 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yes I think Eufa will wait until the leagues decide what they are going to do first. It’s not a priority to get the champions league and europa leagues finished yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillanousOne Posted April 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2020 Apparently the Government have asked the Villa defence to donate their clean sheet bonus for the current season to the NHS. Unfortunately this means the NHS now owe Villa £500,000. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 13 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: I'd love to know how much 30% is. If this is initially funding the £125m (already?) advanced to the EFL and then £20m for the NHS - who gets the money first and how long will players need to take a pay cut in order to cover that money - what will happen to any monies saved after that? As I heard it and I may well be wrong, the £125m is not new money, it's the money they were due to pay the EFL in any case, they have just agreed to pay the money early. I suspect this up to 30% figure that each PL club will be negotiating with their players, will just be money that the PL clubs don't have to pay their players, so the money saved will stay with the clubs. I suspect the £20m is all that the NHS will get from this, other than from any individual amounts players or officials, might themselves gift them, once their wages have been reduced by the clubs. I hope I'm wrong, but it looks to me like the PL is not doing too much, other than for the PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2020/04/01/villa-wolves-acorns-fifa Quote The battle for local bragging rights remains on this Saturday as Aston Villa go head-to-head against Wolves – with a twist! With all Premier League action currently suspended, the midlands neighbours are unable to face off in what was their scheduled match at Villa Park. But derby spoils remain up for grabs – and it's all for charity to raise funds for Acorns Children's Hospice! FIFA 20 on PS4 will be the stage as Villa, represented by defender Ezri Konsa, take on Wolves, who’s player will be forward Diogo Jota. Saturday’s kick-off remains at 12.30pm, with two 10-minute halves and online squads to ensure real player ratings are used for authenticity. Villa fans can watch all the action unfold live on VillaTV. The fixture was due to be Acorns’ dedicated takeover day, with 40 volunteer bucket collectors located around Villa Park to help collect donations. But, in light of the postponement, the club have worked closely with both Wolves and the charity to ensure we can all still show our support - helping to raise as much money as possible for a fantastic cause. Acorns Children’s Hospice provides a network of specialist palliative nursing care and support for babies, children and young people aged 0-18 who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and associated complex needs. Acorns relies on the community to fund the majority of its activities. So enjoy the match, get involved and donate to a midlands charity who do incredible work in the community. On behalf of Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Acorns Children’s Hospice, thank you, as always, for your magnificent support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Terrific. I’m well ready. Strewn bog roll all over the toilet floor, lit a fag threw it inside and waited for it to go out before I used the lav, eaten a half cooked pie, stuck a tenner in an envelope marked “ William Hill” and threw it in the bin. Now all I need is to get really pissed off for half an hour and spend the rest of the day arguing with @TRO as to why it weren’t the Managers fault. Bring it on ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
