Even Premiership clubs could go to the wall with this the way they have all scrambled for the prize of being in their among the "elite," all their income going on players wages can't be sustainable, when crowds are allowed back people will have lost jobs income or worst still a family member, they might just not rush back like football thinks they will.

Absolutely no chance of a Premier club going to the wall.
There are high rollers waiting in the wings for a club in the Premier to be put up for sale. They see the price dropping - very attractive.
This crisis will be over.
Thereafter there will be shed loads to be made.
No surprise to me to see the Newcastle deal resurrected and it will go through.

The EFL has suggested a 25% paycut on players wages in leagues 1 and 2 but already a lot of club chairman saying it isn't enough players not taking kindly to it one league 1 chairman even suggesting he might tear up all players contracts and risk courtroom trails if it means saving the club. Scottish football yesterday ending their season's below the premiership positions standing, right or wrong they have had the balls to make a decision. These are EFL,s September,s published average wages for players:- league 1 £4753.00 a week, league 2 £2191.00 a week.

That,s why in Andy Holts words accy,s budget was correctly worked out no gambling on players to get us up what we could afford which hopefully will see accy through the crisis but probably with a decrease in future budgets.
 
Seeing as the lockdown has been extended for another 3 weeks and estimates of a vaccine 12 to 18 months away can anyone on here see the resumption of crowds at football or any sport being allowed this calendar year?

Read it very interesting does mention football will probably start without spectators working on how to fund it and how to stream it to the public.
 
The problem has I see it is when government relaxes lockdown we all know it's going to be gradual the EFL stating that the season must be finished ok then fund it because believe me without a clear funding message clubs won't co-operate fearing going bust with the expenditure behind closed doors brings. Going back to large gatherings with or without government approval without a vaccine people will be wary and change their habits which all of us are currently doing, football needs supporters otherwise it is useless let's all hope EFL for once get it right.

thats the point. think all this haste there seems to be around to kick start football again is so misguided at the moment. its like cashy said earlier, no one knows anything but are basically guessing stuff. when things have never happened before its impossible to find an answer.

It's a good read but what annoys me is they are still talking about future dates when to finish the season and still falling out about players wages, it's becoming increasingly obvious that social distancing and every thing that brings to the table that football in this country isn't going to resume any time soon. IMHO they should be doing everything in their power to protect every member club some who are already saying they will struggle to meet April,s wages never mind May and June and beyond. A decision about June 30th contract end dates should be a priority because the lower end earners out of contract with financial obligations could face severe hardship.
