Villaphan04 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Wouldn't the PL have to have the same approach that the EFL has and vice versa? Making sure that there is promotion/relegation throughout the leagues or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making sure that there is promotion/relegation throughout the leagues or not. When the FA created the Premier League they broke away from the Football League, there is a legal agreement for promotion and relegation between the two at teh moment but I'm no lawyer and I haven't read how that agreement is worded. Ideal world woudl all still be the same governing body from the top flight down to the sunday leagues and they'd be no FA/FL split. The football league started it when the FA just wanted to keep it's cup and some visionaries like AVFC thought a league might be a better idea but still certainly in times like these it'd be a whole lot more simple if there was one rule maker...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 How many footballs per game will they need the silly words removed ?

dubbs Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Thinking about it, some of our players might thrive playing behind closed doors. They won't worry about the crowd getting on their backs after 5 mins if they misplace a pass. Wonder how McCormack would get on? He's used to being behind closed gates so it would be second nature to him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_Steve Posted May 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Gordon Taylor talking about more subs and games not going for 45 minutes each half. Talk about integrity! Let's just have 5-a-side with rush goalies instead! Madenning. What a farce. Edited May 5, 2020 by The_Steve 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Indeed a total farce, just face the facts football can't happen! By the way, Gordon Taylor is so out of touch. A dinosaur! Edited May 5, 2020 by Zhan_Zhuang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen that,the longer this goes on the more farcical it is getting.If the neutral venues wasnt losing the integrity of the game less than 45 mins half definitely is! Also says would be mid june before a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2020 It appears to be getting extremely complicated. Seems players and managers have been kept out of talks - honestly think this will come down wholly to the blokes on the pitch, it's hardly a hospital ward but it's the frontline of football where this thing can spread - many will not want to do it when push comes to shove, and that will be that.

maxjackle Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Its amazing how many ex pros and pundits are trying to convince themselves that home advantage is just about the fans and totally discount the facilities/pitch size/familiarity etc. I think this will go ahead but any pretence that the game is for the fans in the stadiums is totally dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 They are going to go with more subs to justify playing so many games in a sort space of time This is the other thing to put in mix as games so tight together likely to be injuries and that alone if you had a couple of players go down at same time will cripple you ..

They would need to stop the game as the well being of fans inside or outside any ground when a game is on is on (Duty of care ?) that ground / club where the game is. If 2 sets of fans turn up + any home fans that have heard etc etc I am not convinced they have thought it all through.

rbcuk Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has suggested halves of less than 45 minutes should be considered when football resumes. Discussions about the Premier League's return are ongoing but Taylor says players are "concerned" about safety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
