Season will not be voided and relegation won’t be scrapped, says FA chairman Greg Clarke
The FA will not sanction the season being voided or relegation being scrapped and has urged Premier League chairmen to draw up a plan in case the season cannot be completed.Its stance would effectively confirm Liverpool as Premier League champions if the season is curtailed, and would give a huge bowww.thetimes.co.uk
Hadn't clocked this before - seems PPG will be the way they go If they can't finish, unreal and unlucky some of the bottom teams - sporting integrity out the window.
It wont come down to the FA. The PL clubs will decide.
This sounds like a PR statement to protect themselves legally.
The idea, that any club accepts relegation with PPG is a fantasy. They sue and they win. When that pressure is on, then it soon changes a few minds.
I suspect it's an attempt to spook sides at the bottom. I cant see it working.

A huge refund even if we do get a fan free restart .
That's a lot of money . Still no excuse to risk fans , players and staffs health .
Premier League clubs facing £340m TV refund even if season resumes
Premier League clubs are told they could have to repay at least £340m to broadcasters - even if the season resumes behind closed doors.www.bbc.co.uk
Reading that article shows you why only the threatened clubs are voicing concerns , a curtailed system could cost the premier league a billion pounds that would certainly threaten a few clubs future especially given the almost certain recession coming
Nope, for two reasons, look up 'frustrated contracts' in contract law (the important point amongst others, that contracts are frozen at the point of frustration), and even Sky aren't dumb enough to turd on their own dinner plate.

I think it’s fanciful of them even thinking players will play, or quite a lot at least.
Who in their right mind would want to be on a football pitch in the near future with another 21 men running around with blood, sweat and snot flying around. You would have to be crazy.
Your wife and kids at home and you put them at risk to finish a football season.
I think a lot of players will refuse and rightly so IMHO.
Give them the title, promote teams, no relegation, Europe as it stands, or players risk their health by playing.

Not sure, you know...The Times article says:
“The governing body has wide-ranging powers as a “special shareholder” as part of the agreement when the Premier League was created in 1991. That includes being able to veto any changes to promotion and relegation”
Constitutionally, the FA’s powers may well exceed those of the PL.

Disciplinary committee will convene on Skype on May 14th to discuss the charge against Danny Rose of Tottenham Hotspur of bringing the game into disrepute.

This is a great opportunity to modernize TV coverage. Let the clubs buy their own rights centrally from the league and then make their own resale deals via their TV channels or the internet. Season tickets for home coverage, pay as you go for away fans wanting to watch on their platform. It actually works out fairer for the clubs (even if the upfront expenditure is greater), the amount of telly clappers who'll pay Bournemouth to watch the RS (for example) will be a little windfall for a lot of clubs each season.

Interesting that and had a quick scan of it and think your barking up the wrong tree , last thing the clubs will want is a voided contract as that what it implies, so sky may not get there money but the clubs get nothing going forward either , don’t forget as well as money owed to complete the season a new tranche comes along when the new season restarts when ever that may be . The last thing the premier league want is to be looking at a new contract from a position of absolute weakness . Negotiations will be the way forward but the clubs need the money atm all clubs are haemorrhaging millions of pounds a week inc our own club which will be costing us over £2 million every week while there is nothing coming in bar season ticket direct debits for a season that may not start .
A huge refund even if we do get a fan free restart .

I think that statement isn’t positive at all for anyone hoping to finish this season.
Players won’t be allowed to train as a group at all in May. They’ve discussed curtailing the season, something they’re basically trying to tell us isn’t even being considered by using different terms. Curtail, cancel, null & void, they’re all the same thing and games won’t be played and it’s clearly still on the table and yesterday’s the start of them breaking it to us slowly.
No one will be relegated by PPG, it may be used to determine prize money, European places, I think just about every club will “accept” that and not challenge it but relegate a team who aren’t mathematically relegated and have a great chance of staying up, nah. They would get took the cleaners and it won’t happen.
This season will be cancelled at some point and I think they all know it as well. This is just all part of the process so they can say that they’ve tried everything.

About three or four out of the top clubs would bite your hand off for this to happen as they would be the major beneficiaries of it , the majority of clubs would make a lot less money out of this than the current situation with sky , not only do you lose millions from the equally shared collective agreement besides prize money but commercially the viewing figures for sponsors would not warrant it as a high percentage of people who watch televised football won’t support either team but just watch as a part of there package .

With the global audience growing as it is, I really believe (if clubs can market themselves effectively) that this is the future for TV rights.
I may, of course, be entirely mistaken.

It certainly would be for the bigger clubs as they have huge worldwide fan bases but the majority who watch the current packages abroad get to watch any game they want , no way are clubs like Bournemouth, Norwich , Sheff United etc going to attract enough people to want to pay individually besides hard core fans and there are enough of the clubs like this who won’t vote to end the collective agreement . The idea of there own premier league channel owned by the clubs and administered by there own tv channel similar to a Netflix may be beneficial as long as the collective agreement is there imo
sorry to quote my own post but another thing to probably mention here is that Danny Rose suffers from depression which as we know mental health brings its own set of H&S issues / employee rights into a far more prominent spot light. Further to this he is currently on loan at Newcastle which you’ve guessed it is until the end of June. So what do Newcastle do here, extend the loan of a player that in all likelihood will refuse to play or send him back to Tottenham?
