As to the EPL, they've shown time & time again how inconsistent & incompatible they are in their crisis & general management "skills". They have their priorities it seems & those tend to be towards things that make them money & line their pockets, the lower leagues & grassroots don't tick those boxes unfortunately, so I think you may be being over optimistic in your hopes & views.

We shall see.
Without grass roots and lower leagues the players won't be produced.
Without players you don't have a game.
It will take something major to happen but as soon as it does (as with cultural sites) the government will step in.
Too controversial not to ......... and a vote catcher.

Don't usually agree with Gillingham manager but he was fuming that nobody from the EFL insisted that Fleetwood,s staff and players were made to have a test after playing us on Tuesday and travelling from a tier 3 area. Joey Barton insisted that Fleetwood as a club followed all the protocol and guidance they probably did but it fly's in the face of the public,s health guidelines.

It's then very likely, especially if the first person doesn't show symptoms immediately, to catch more of the group in double-quick time.

I have to say I can't believe they haven't knocked pile-on goal celebrations on the head though, if ever there were ways to ensure you pass something on, that's surely one of them :rolleyes:

one good thing that may come out of the virus is the end of the pathetic teams coming out together and doing the even pointless lining up to do that respect handshake. getting rid of all that would make an old man really happy.

It won't just be MOD that a lot will stop watching.

this streaming thing is a bit of a novelty at the moment. like all novelties people do get fed up quickly with them. if your team is having even an average season i can imagine there will be less watching it by the end of the season than there is now. i do not know if i am on my own but if stanley are in a bad run i,d still turn up to the wham. wether i,ll bother to stream is another matter.

1) A really good period of service from a highly talented player....
or......
2) A proper and meaningful transfer fee if Joe is approached by a club from a higher league.
Either way Stanley wins!:theband:
Excellent Stanley management! :rose8::signbeer::drink:
Personally I would prefer him to stay and become a “Stanley Legend”.:theband:

That's the difference as a club we have become under Andy Holt,s stewardship, take young Savin strong rumours about Southampton preparing a bid in January, if they haven't already in my opinion he,s showing signs of being top drawer minimum million pounds on the table more would be preferable and loaned back to us for his development.
