Project restart discussion.

Not sure how this will work in the short term. If some clubs have player's out with Covid19 they could argue they're unable to field a strong team.

Test all the players and staff and people involved in the logistics of playing one single game and it will prove to be a nightmare.

The financial crisis hasnt even began yet. Most lower league clubs survive off the gate receipts.

Is right, and plenty survive by operating with negative net transfer spends by bringing players through and punting them on. The transfer market will be virtually non existent this year, so that revenue stream has gone as well.

If your goalie is training with his coach and reserve goalie.. and they all get it, who on earth do you then get in ?
Or if certain teams lose a key player, Villa lose Grealish, Norwich lose Pukki etc then that's again out of their hands. It's not like it's an injury, it's preventable.

The customers will be all sat at home in full kit right now, all sexually aroused at the thought that footy may well be restarting

I am only 2 out of 3 from that list today.

Wonder if the FA would be willing to set out how the competition would maintain its integrity if a club's management team was ravaged by the illness and were forced into isolation for weeks or even, like the Prime Minister, a month. Should those clubs just be expected to get on with it, potentially in a relegation fight with no manager, and be led by the 'next best' option? Maybe the oldest player automatically becomes Player Manager?

West Ham go down on points per game don't they ?
So they may want to play if that's a serious option.

True, fair point.

 

[Wat Tyler]

True, fair point.

If they use PPG, West Ham would stay up.

Bournemouth, Villa and Norwich would drop.

 

[Dannymini]

I think there will be a rise in cases by the end of may, and all this will be put too bed

This is the one I saw.
Could be totally wrong like.

Villas games in hand must mean this can't happen.

West Ham go bust if they drop.

Are they in that bad financial shape W Ham?

 

[radiostar]

Yes i think if done all together West Ham are ok, but if it is split home and away, then they are in the bottom three.
