I was thinking more from an “integrity” perspective the idea of insisting one league finishes so you can relegate teams but another not finishing but you promote teams seems the opposite if integrity to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always hard to get a solid run together when we concede so many chances per game. Jack can win you a game single-handedly. If you keep it tight at the back it would give us a great chance. But sadly Dean doesn't seem to prioritize on this. Yet we have still managed to win and draw games despite conceding that many shots. We don’t need a solid run we just need to gain enough points to avoid relegation. A solid run would be great but we just need points and we have the ability to do that.

Yes we were good in the final third in the first half of the season. But once teams started to respect and man mark Jack it's been harder for us to creates as many chances.

How would you handle the rest of this season for the PL the Championship The FA-cup The European Cups How would you handle next seasons schedule/qualifications for the PL Championship European Cups the FA cup the League Cup the transfer window for players the sheer number of games that has to be played that season that already have a African Cup of Nations in the winter and a EURO's and a Olympics in the summer It's not possible, especially since other countries will not finish their seasons in that way. Edit: Forgot to add Player contracts expiring players already signed for new clubs Sponsor contracts expiring Sure there are more.

Also smaller clubs will increase prices of their prize assets to cover some of the losses have cause because of the virus. Really I think the opposite. Less money lower transfer fees plus no football means footballers no longer assetts they are liabilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvilla28 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 1 hour ago, nick76 said: teams have runs of form both bad and good, especially at the bottom end of the table. After Southampton lost to Leicester 9-0 and how they were playing, people assumed they would end up bottom at the end of the season because they were awful. Watford have been 20th for most of the season but they had a new manager bump but are now back to poor results. Results change and you never know. People are just basing it on how we finished before the lockdown. We concede too many goals but we can pull results out of the bag, even recently like the win against Watford in the league and beating Leicester in the cup. We have the ability to do it. Both of those clubs changed managers for the better tho that's the point your missing. I'm not bashing , but that run of form was horrible couldn't even do the basics in football right like organisation, defend as a team and our system of play.

Anyway big clubs will still spend big money but we’ll wait and see, this will not impact smaller clubs. Plus selling clubs are going to lower their price of a player. We wouldn’t be lowering our price of Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy you just rush through in the opening weeks. 3 games per week till we're back in route. In the Championship they are already used to many games so maybe push it to 4 games per week there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems what so ever Just increase the number of games and decrease the gap between games, increase the size of the bench and the number of subs allowed... What could possibly happen that would ruin football even more... might as well hope that some EFL teams go bump and the big 6 can have B teams too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree you can but again how far from the original competition do you move away from in the name of keeping integrity?

Desperate times require desperate measures. I highly doubt this new sub system is here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
