Nothing is in and nothing is out; PL and EFL plan is to re-start BUT the issue in L1 and L2 is that a lot of clubs have contracts with expire on June 30th. Will all clubs have enough registered players to complete the season in a competative manner.
Main focus has been meetings with the PFA who are only slowly joining in.

Thanks for that Mr. T, having seen that Colchester published their release list the other day with 16 players on it others will probably follow suit. It's a very trying time logistically and I think some managers won't be happy to carry on with reduced squads reduced transfer windows whatever gets thrown in the makeup. It's going to be a financial nightmare I think for the majority of clubs do you think personally some will inevitably fold.

you would have expected them to have been talking weeks ago as it affects the livelihood and possibly the health of their members. said at the outset of all this i was looking for their point of view. suppose thats why i heard nothing in relpy at the time.

Sean Mc is our PFA rep

Re: Coronovirus
 

worried, love football, love Stanley but can’t see I will be able to watch the team play at the Wham anymore this year, so this means no season ticket sales for next season so how does our club survive

Re: Coronovirus
 

not a good prognosis, think thats worrying many of us.

Re: Coronovirus
 

It's more likely to survive if it doesn't have to waste money on the stupid idea of finishing the season behind closed doors, better to write it off baton down the hatches unfortunately let out of contract players go and when it's deemed safe enough for fans it's safe enough for players, hopefully Stanley and the majority of clubs will be still around and raring to go. Inevitably though football will change hopefully financially at the very least so has clubs aren't forever walking a tightrope.

Re: Coronovirus
 

think however its sorted its gonna be very iffy for many clubs.

Re: Coronovirus
 

Oh dear Sky Sports article stating could be an entire 2020/21 season with no crowds Premiership behind closed doors, hope to God they find a vaccine or treatable drugs or football as we know it will change beyond what we know now.

Re: Coronovirus
 

do not want any clubs to get into trouble if only for their fans sake. my only fear is that if there is a chance of bailouts for clubs there could be a bit of crying wolf about. got to the point i,m afraid that trust does not come easy for me.

Re: Coronovirus
 

It's interesting how football always talks of its uniqueness.
Can't imagine many other sports being in a different position.
Don't hear many Cricket Clubs, Rugby League / Union shouting get us back in front of crowds or we're finished.

Re: Coronovirus
 

One example in March the English Cricket Board announced a £61 million support grant for cricket also various support grants and schemes for clubs and grassroots clubs acted quickly and in unison unlike some I could mention. Trouble with football is it ,s us and them attitude so always going to be a falling out.
