useless Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) We were linked with Antonee Robinson in February, the Wigan full-back that nearly joined AC Milan, don't know how reliable those stories were, apparently we asked to be kept updated on his situation, but maybe he's someone we'll go for if we're in the market for a left-back Edited June 8, 2020 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love him here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you get your head straight any small setback, being injuries or something else and I can see it going downhill fast. I think you are right to a degree but it’s easy for us to say, isn’t it? It’s very different actually being in the public eye and under scrutiny 24/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 I don't think they'll be able to finish the Championship season on the pitch. Think it will be decided on PPG or whatever. The PL restart and finish is 100% money driven, not enough money in the Championship to warrant the risks. Not sure where that will leave Brentford.

Why I think the Covid-19 situation will spike again with people acting like morons as soon as the summer began. The huge money involved in the PL might see it forced through despite this. But the Championship is even more games and the same risks (or even more as the clubs can't afford the same level security and testing as in the PL) and little to no TV-money to repay. Think there is a chance that the PL restart will be cancelled before it's finished. Think there is a much bigger chance the Championship one will.

villa4europe Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 its money in vs money out the cost of the testing vs the tv money due the PL there is obviously a tonne of money on its way if the games are played which will comfortably cover the associated costs of playing the games, leagues 1 and 2 and the womens league the revenue wouldn't cover the costs so its not being played, the championship might be close the promotion money doesn't come in to it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe the football league are looking to push through play offs even if leagues are cancelled. More resources could be pushed towards three playoff matches to get them done.

useless Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The championship will just do as the premier league does, if they can't finish the season but the premier league does manage to complete their games then there's a good chance that promotion would be scrapped, something that EFL don't want to happen.

Even if you stay up and we don't make it I think there is very little chance of him going to Villa, he is one of our highly prized assets and he still has 2 years to run on his contract + option of another year so he won't be going on the cheap, Villa wouldn't pay the alleged fee we asked for last year, so what is different? besides him and his partner love the London life and if he does move on I would put money on him joining a Premiership London club, as they seem to have already taken an interest in him. On the other hand I hope it is as you predict, fingers crossed, as I always love a trip to Villa Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
