its going to be like it was in the 70,s and 80,s again when lower league clubs will operate with smaller squads on lower wages at least for a season at least. its hardly going to be a new revolution in football. even stanley have paid wages out last season or so to some players who have hardly had a kick. may sound harsh but if you cannot make it in the game then you should look for work outside it.

If clubs wont renew contracts why on earth would they exercise one year options ?
Agreed to an extent .... but squads are a necessary evil to cover for injuries and suspensions.
Same as now whatever your budget you go small or large squad.
Brighton got 3 players positive i read.
Yeh and instead of focusing on the future of the entire pryamid in our game and how to stop it catastrophically falling apart all you read about is how they can finish their precious premiership
Premiership financially more implicated so can understand why.
Without Prem money football in this country would be very different.
Compared to virtually every other country, our EFL is 100 times stronger...
Do we want to go down B team route like other euro countries?
Not to say I haven’t heard noise coming from EFL however.
Brighton opposed to all ideas currently suggested...
Brighton have 3 ‘un-named’ cases in squad....

And, despite it being a somewhat convoluted formula, the positions of the teams would ‘most probably’ remain exactly as they are. Only Lincoln and Peterborough might be expected to improve by one or two positions, but that would appear to have no impact on promotion or relegation.
So why not just end the agonising now over this season and concentrate on how to manage the play-offs?
EFL have to wait and see if Prem decide on relegation or not.
Holding up a vote at the moment as EFL Clubs can’t vote due to know on effect.

Premiership protocol to return to training government guidelines no tackling disenfected pitches and only groups of five no traveling together, it's a farce when will they realise footballers are no different to any other worker stop the sham and return when deemed safe are Jo public missing it that much to risk people's health I for one am not.
Football is a business.
Many businesses are returning to work.
Many businesses are implementing restrictions whilst working.

Exactly how do you social distance playing football it will be farcical.
agree 100% but yeh cant see that if yer an half wit.
Exactly how they are doing at the moment Andy by returning to training.
In a few weeks time the small steps may turn into slightly bigger steps.
There isn’t going to be a point where one day everything will be back to normal.
It will take these small steps to get there. To see if it can work.
I,m no expert on gardening but pretty sure if you disinfect grass it won't do it much good. Are football clubs going to do what businesses are doing and giving players a choice on health concerns such as asthma etc, or if your from a ethnic background which is a concern to train or not.
Football is a business but unlike golf clubs fishing tennis etc who are all in it together why are the government pushing the premiership into training bypassing Stanley and the rest of football right down the pryamid to return to training. Because they haven't got a minutes thought about the lesser leagues just about income from the premiership I,m ok with that if they bale everybody out but it's plain to see to me the government as well as top flight football don't give a hoot about Stanley and the rest and certainly don't care about the health of the premiership,s squads.
