To be honest what's outlandish is anyone predicting dates for football to restart. If 700 odd people are still dying everyday in the UK then football won't be back and rightly so .
Comments on a postcard
It's the truth, I'm making a point that a team gets a massive advantage having a competitor lose one of their most important player? Are you suggesting it wouldn't be a massive advantage?
I think you are partly right. Certainly true of elite football like the Premier League & elite clubs in Europe, but I don't think either football/non football fans view lower league or grassroots football with disdain or hatred.
Yea thats why i keep saying if we can legally allow him to stay a month longer or whatever it takes to finish the league we would.
Yes please.
Aye, somebody appears to have let them out of the flatearthers thread in the general.
Then we're definitely in an agreement!
Every day at 4pm is highlights of every PL teams greatest game on Sky Sports....today's include Sheff Wed 1-7 Notts Forest & QPR 3-2 Liverpool with 3 QPR goals in the last 13 minutes
But that sets a bad precedence for Lille who now miss out on CL by one point. And Amiens who are relegated. Will there be humongous legal challenges? Did the French FA not see these coming before announcing?
Keep reading that, so tiresome. Spoiler: they can do whatever the feck they like. They probably (and hopefully) won't, but they easily could.
The same time you normally would. The idea is that players won't need the rest they usually have because they're effectively having it now. Of course it's not even remotely the same, but the whole thing is unprecedented and next season in undoubtedly going to be weird anyway.
Hold on a second, I’ve been championing the cause for completing this season - and thus, seeing you lot win the title that you undoubtedly deserve - but I see no value in awarding you a title for a truncated season, nor indeed coming up with superfluous methods of extrapolating how a season will end based on how it started, e.g. points-per-game rubbish. Completing the season on the field of play usurps every other airy-fairy bullshit, for me, but if the season cannot be completed due to a litany of health and safety issues, then it’s tough luck on many teams, not just Liverpool.
wont happen
Cant see the pfa agreeing to that
There's plenty in the USA who seem to believe this.
Would it be possible for clever hedge fund managers etc to make money right now?
That can keep "aiming" for this all they like, but there's absolutely no guarantee of any of it being doable.
I'm not sure that's true.
Probably not even clever ones I suppose.
Can’t see the players wanting that or pfa agreeing. Jimenez wife is having a baby in June is he going to agree to being away for that amount of time? Seems a bit extreme. They’d all be sharing changing rooms too

Why was that what some people were saying? Thats insane - I'd say the vast majority of peop-le in the UK now know someone who has been affected to some degree. I suppose there are some mentalist out there who will believe anything. That reminds me I'm due my hourly Dettol gargle.

Sponsered masks.
Not a chance the players will agree to that.
I suppose you'll always get the gamut of reactions.
The players will tell them to feck off, and rightly so. Tearing them apart from the families for two-two and a half months...
To be fair, I don't think anybody who's working to get the football season back by a certain date is doing so under the presumption that it's a guarantee. These dates are malleable, obviously. Just gives them something to work towards I guess.
