Premier League also now.

 

[GT49er]

Only sensible.

 

[studio150]

Three weeks that will no doubt be extended further

 

[Is it PotG?]

Can they TRUTHFULLY believe that by 4th April it'll all be on the wane, life will be returning to normal and we can simply just get going again?

Good luck with that one.

Dithering and procrastinating is in their DNA.

 

[Peteinblack]

At least we'll go a whole month unbeaten

 

[Is it PotG?]

At least we'll go a whole month unbeaten

Or YET another month without a win.

Good luck with that one.

Gives them time to try to come up with a broadly sensible and acceptable solution.

Man U at the Amex 4th April ?

Yes, exactly. It’s breathing space to mull over what to do. They know this season has to be abandoned or (less likely in my view) delayed and they need to work out the details.

It gives the clubs time to think too. The Amex has stewards and the people who man the concessions stands. They now have no work for them for what could be five months. What do they do?

Ditto the groundsmen and maintenance crews. And those who work in the club shop.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Not a chance we are back for the 4th April.

I assume that if the season is void, as well as having to refund tickets, PL clubs will not receive roughly a quarter of the TV revenue. I know that the PL is super rich but that it going to be huge.

That’s what I was thinking....we all know inside that the season has now ended....now it’s up to them to earn their money and come up with a fair and equitable solution.

It’s going to be weird with no sport going on for months....Talkshite is going to have to be renamed ...Talkshite

 

[Is it PotG?]

This fair, equitable and acceptable solution of which we speak.

Someone, somewhere ain't gonna like it, that's for sure.

I wouldn't assume anything in these strange mixed up times.

A lot of teams will have an axe to grind. The only one's who won't be that bothered are those the won't be relegated or qualify for Europe. Yep, Everton.

 

[banjo]

SPFL have just caught up.

 

[FannieMac]

Three weeks that will no doubt be extended further

Probably closed door matches in April

Probably closed door matches in April

Very much doubt it - we won't even have reached the peak by then. Players/officials will have the virus. This is just a delaying tactic while everyone works out how to end the season as fairly as possible (ie, by ensuring Leeds don't get promoted).
