[Albion] No football through all of April

[schmunk]

I wonder how a reduction in Sky money would affect us in comparison with say, Crystal Palace for example. They have a huge salary to income ratio and as far as I'm aware, no sugar daddy

CPFC 2021 Ltd here we come...

I was reading all the posts of this thread with interest. I then reached the end of the thread and I then returned to the real world once again remembering that thousands are about to die.
Football really is of secondary importance.

If your kid has a life changing accident you don't 'scrap it' and have another baby.



That is without doubt the worst analogy I’ve ever read

I couldn't work out out how it even was an analogy.

It is, very much so, but we need distractions.

The point is their contractural obligation to Sky/BT and the overseas rights holders because no football, no party, no pay day.

In breach of contract, rip them up and go again or worse, rip them up and renegotiate on a lower basis.

If the league ends after June 1st. the cut off date agreed by all parties before a ball was kicked, I don't see where there would be a breach of contract. I'll bet the TV companies have no intention of paying after that cut off date anyway, not if they can help it!

 

[GT49er]

Even if another game isn't played for 2 years, this season will not be scrapped. Football will start up again where it left off. Anything else is unthinkable.

Actually, it's that that's unthinkable.

The sooner they write this season off the better to allow people in the clubs and fans alike to concentrate on what's really important at this moment in time

At current bog roll black-market prices, that's about 5 sheets of single-ply.

Or ten sheets of school regulation tracing paper slippy sliddy shit roll

Rubbish anouncement... creates more confusion. Propably means they could not agree.
Better to declare this season over, luckily no argument to giving Liverpool the title. I favour no Prem relegation with WBA and Leeds promoted and have 22 clubs next season...there are too many blank weekennds anyway.
As for the EFL? .....I don't know, I have not worked out their problems

1. How can you justify writing off Fulham, 6 points behind the top two, with both still to play, and almost a quarter of a season to play?

2. How do you justify automatically promoting Leeds / West Brom who are 6 points clear, but not relegating Norwich who are effectively 7 points adrift?

This might have been mentioned by others but, imo...

The Albion (or any other Premier League club) should not take direct debits for the 2020/21 season until the 2019/20 season has been completed (or, at least, until a timescale for 20/21 is confirmed).

 

[Seasider78]

They are just delaying in small increments in the slim chance they can finish in the summer. They will have a date in their minds that means even with a summer extension the season cannot be completed. When that date is reached it will be declared null and void no champions, promotions or relegations and we start again

 

[Baker lite]

Stalling exercise. They probably couldn’t all agree on how to complete the season.

Start the next season with teams on the same amount of points as they have now, cumulative points total.

I think there’s a lot to be said for this type of approach if they can’t finish this season by 1 July. If the 2020/21 season starts late, it too can be extended to 1 July 2021 or, if the start is extremely delayed, made into a 19 game season.

You can guarantee somebody doing the hoovering will stand on our striker before the first match starts
