John Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 39 minutes ago, MadridVilla said: Can you imagine the difficulty a team promoted via the play-offs would have? They would have to release or sell players they no longer wanted in the squad, find their replacements, negotiate a deal, integrate the new signings into the team with little to no friendly matches, scout their upcoming opposition etc. Not to mention the difficulties the ticket office would have in selling tickets in such a short time window.... Sounds a bit like us at the start of this season. The ticket office is unlikely to have any problem with selling tickets though, I doubt there will be anyone allowed to attend the games for a fair old time yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 18, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 2 hours ago, MadridVilla said: The effects of having a 3 week break between seasons would be catastrophic for next season. Relegated clubs would be desperate to get players off their wage bill and free up space to sign replacements, while promoted clubs would be held to ransom to improve their squads. There've been a couple of things proposed for the window and player trading, although they've gone very quiet on anything to do with practicalities or contracts ending or any of that stuff for the moment - there's a sort of "Hey everyone, look over here at this training in small groups, not over there at the complete contractual mess and the chaos that's coming." Anyway, they'd mentioned a small window between the 1st and 7th July to allow those players out of contract to secure a deal and to allow those that have already arranged deals to move and then there was talk about the Summer window and the January window not having a closed period between them this year. So a transfer window that opens on 1st July and shuts on 7th July then opens again at the end of August and stays open until the end of January. There's nothing that makes sense about any of this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I just watched the Troy Deeney Clip with Piers Morgan. I admit to being wrong about him. He made some very good points and any footballers who lives with anybody who has health concerns should be excused. At the same times if schools return that is a far bigger issue than the return of the Premier League although obviously more important in the greater scheme of things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may be 1-2 years away from a working vaccine. We have to get out there eventually. I'd say replace them with some of the U23 players. Would only be good for the league. Maybe young Indiana can get a crack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So it looks like all the clubs are on board with the restart. 1st Phase: Training without contact. Could last up to 1-2 weeks Phase 2: Full contact training. The clubs want to have full contact training at least 21 days before the restart. These coming weeks and the progression being made is vital in the prospect of restarting 19th of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 18, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2020 It's interesting who doesn't get an opinion at those meetings - there's no place for players, for referees, for managers, or for fans - all of whom are stakeholders and have both an interest in Project Restart and bodies that represent them. You get a vote if you're involved in the money and nothing else matters. #WeAreOneTeam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's safer than most work places Yes, all players and those connected with being at the game are tested. Fine. The problem is that the UK government are failing in there promises for 100k people per day to have tests. This promise has been increased to 200k per day by the end of May. So far it's around the 75k mark. The chances of hitting the 200k mark are remote to say the least. So essential/key workers are not being tested yet those associated with football which is non essential are. It is morally wrong. I have no problem with football returning, but testing of essential/key workers should take the priority. Why not test all teachers to allow kids to get back to school? When there are enough tests to cater for these people then football should follow. Not before. The Government and the Premier League are imorrel in letting this happen which is clearly a decision based upon pound notes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation will be determined by games played between weakened teams, played in empty stadiums. Good for the league, obviously..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted May 19, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2020 Matt Hancock no doubt can’t wait for the Premier League to get testing as it’ll boost his numbers significantly! Then he’ll boast in his daily briefing about hitting his 100k target consistently! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I hope they get it all going at some point for it to all fall over and end like a Carry on film. No health impacts on anyone but where something like, no one ever watches the games, they don't stream properly, everyone turns off after 10 mins to go outside and do something less boring instead, false alarms for Corona within teams, matches called off as fans outside stadium. There must be more things that can go wrong ? Ending in Farce and acrimony is where Im at, where in the end LiVarpool just get a tiny trophy and not the real one the words removed. Betting, how the **** can you price Home teams at Neutral grounds ? Betting, anyone know the odds for relegation ? (I can t look at work) (For the bottom 6)- Guess 4/7 Villa ?

"They" will probably be fairly satisfied if Liverpool can get over the line and all teams having played an equal number of matches, while broadcasting as many games as possible to fulfil as much of the TV contract as they can, before it all collapses.

Robtaylor200 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Seems to me that the only way we are going to stay up. Is for the season to restart and for us to get enough points. Glad to see we are starting a form of training 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
