The PL and FL are believed to have told clubs that on no account are they to say that the season will cancelled, abandoned or whatever words to that effect.

The in word is 'curtailed' if it is not able to be played out, and champions, relegation and promotion will be decided by sporting reasons , e g . Average points per match or whatever they come up.

Saw an article the other day that the Premier league would lose 1bn if they didn't finish the season but they reckon that curtailing it would protect them from legal action,

Broadcasters want £340M even if the season finishes with all matches played behind closed doors. They want a billion if it’s declared null and void.

The season will be scrapped, and forever known as the lost season.

The last thing either the league or broadcasters want to do is take legal action against one another. Serves no interest to anyone.

If clubs collectively have to pay 1 bn back to Broadcasters, then most will collapse or be in in serious financial peril, and what good is that to them? Their product is damaged.

Alternatively I'm seeing today that Sport in England may be permitted to return on June 1st, behind closed doors.

The way things are going, Swansea, Cardiff and Newport have a problem, because they won't be able to play their games!

If they went to neutral gounds they could, we could end up playing in Bristol!

The team will be told to stay at home, and pulled over on the M4 before they can get to the bridge

I cant see how they can complete it. How are they going to keep to social distance rules. How do defenders tackle without being within 2 metres. There would be no walls from freekicks. Nobody could challenge the goalkeeper. They wouldnt be able to change in the changing rooms. Assistant referees or 4th officials wont be able to check studs. Management and subs wont be able to sit together in a dugout.

Totally agree, I think they may find it difficult to finish the season if there a second spike and Boris has to put the brakes back on.

Instead of paying it back, they should try and work out a deal which reduces the amount they are due to receive over the next few years and go from there. If it means players have to have lower wages when new contracts are negotiated in the future so be it.

In reality, if they are talking about £340m between 20 clubs that’s an average of £17m, if it’s then broken down pro rata on TV appearances clubs like Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd could end up paying around £25m while the less glamorous clubs at the bottom could pay about £10m to £12m.

Premier League Clubs are very greedy, that’s why the split from the FL all those years ago.

Prem finished IMO but nothing else.

Those who say it’s all about greed, yes it’s about money. Is that only an issue when football comes back because of money? The reason every other company is coming back across the UK is because of money also.

Is Deliveroo essential work? No... They’ve been operating for weeks.

Business owners at every level are attempting to work now if they can prove it’s safe to do so. Of course football are going to attempt to do the same.

You can social distance when delivering parcels or food, you can do the same in the workplace but can you do it on a football field? Bloody hell no, it will make a mockery of the game.

As the major has stated perhaps there should be a compromise, the clubs and players agree to take a smaller chunk of the revenue but we all know that wont happen because everything about the PL is greed.

That £340m is roughly the total prize money paid out for the position you finish in the league. Cancel the league and cancel the prize money. The bigger the club the more you lose, the smaller the club the less you lose. I know that's not strictly true with teams like Sheffield higher than their club size, but you haven't lost what you have had.

Other businesses opening is matter of need and they'll have to make rrasonable changes on public health grounds, football can't make those changes.

Now the bottom 6 EPl are saying they should cancel relegation, assuming football goes ahead, no self interst there then!

The 340 million is a payback for prize money already received but none of those clubs have had income for weeks but have still been paying massive wage bills, finding 20 million or more could be a problem for some, specially those heavily in debt.

Should the rest of football start back up if the EPL doesn't? There can't be promotion unless the EPL agrees to have a 22/23 team season and do they then relegate 5/6 teams?

Maybe it should be all or nothing? Sensibly speaking, nothing, yet.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Football is totally trivial and should be at the back of the queue. When everything else is up and running you can kick a bit of plastic about.

Am I in a minority finding it really offensive that the EPL is behaving as if they should have priority in our recovery as some kind of divine right just because they are losing (some of) their obscene waterfall of cash?

Yes football has not come out with any credit at all since this panademic started.

The PFA has acted disgracefully as have their greedy self centred members.

The PL and football as a whole have shown their true colours all they care about is cash and have no principle and have shown no empathy.

This virus has shown up the best and worse in human nature.

Point missed, no surprise...

Businesses are returning that aren’t ‘essential’, football isn’t essential but it’s a business. It will return, people are going to have to get over it I’m afraid.

You'll be preaching how safe it'll be for players to be breathing over each other next.
Admire yer effort pal, but yer deluded. Whilst thers no vaccine, players won't want to put themselves/families at risk. The Germans maybe starting the weekend, but not anywhere near convinced yet we will.

I think Germany will very much regret this weekend.

An interesting theory is that they're taking the risk because the Bundesliga needs more exposure, to compete with the other leagues, and this weekend all eyes will be on them.

Achtung!

So if that`s the case we will never see a football match live again until if and when vaccine is found, this virus is not going to go away once the lockdown is lifted is it.

It’s hard to imagine who would be insane enough to go somewhere and mingle with many thousands of strangers if there is any serious risk that’s for sure.
