Project restart discussion.

[MikeH72]

Neutral venues is off apparently.

Not a chance.

 

[kenada_blue]

Then it should be voided shouldn’t it ? Surely the ethics with sport are that it should be competed on a level playing so to speak

There's £700mill reasons why it won't be. And also...voiding means restarting the every English league as it was. Which isn't entirely fair either

 

[ToffeeTim]

Not a chance.

I think it could be off the table. Find it hard to believe the bottom 6 clubs would have agreed the training plan yesterday if neutral venues were still in the pipeline

 

[MikeEire]

I would very much like the 2nd option, the weighted PPG system.
.
It's better known as "An act of God."

Yeah, the only true option... relegate west ham or void the season.

 

[kenada_blue]

Well no, and I suspect you will see law suits either way, but the PL is weaker if it goes down the PPG route. They will lose hundreds of millions.

The remaining games are getting played out regardless due to the financial implications. I'll bet you'll still get any team who are relegated taking the league to court over it.

The other side IF they can't go ahead is voiding or ending on PPG. Which I think they'll go the PPG route after other leagues have done the same. But that will be the very last straw.

I think that any team in danger of dropping into the bottom 3 has to publicly reject the conditions of the restart.
Otherwise should a team not voice their concerns and subsequently get relegated the won't have much grounds for legal action.

Well other leagues haven't really. Holland and Belgium haven't. France has. England tier 5 and downwards haven't. Most of the to leagues aren't. The only ones who have have been France, who had specific legislation to deal with it, which nobody else has.

 

[The binman chronicles]

- PPG (Norwich, Villa and Bournemouth)
- Weighted PPG (Norwich, Villa and West ham)

Option b please.

No seriously as much as I would be happy to see Villa and West Ham go down any incompleted league should mean the results are meaningless. It is totally unfair on the sides that go on a run, which we ourselves have had to do in the past to get out of danger.

What’s happening with the Championship? Are they playing at their own grounds too?

Im sure I read that all 20 clubs had opposed Neutral venues so they were going ahead with home and away as usual cos the government had agreed to it.

Saying that I think i read that in the daily fail.

So Neutral venues it is!

Leicester went on a hell of a run to avoid near certain relagation and then won the league the next season.

So anything is possible.

 

[Davidoff]

The season will limp to a conclusion. They’re hell-bent on getting it finished, moneys are preserved/made, and kopites get the title they ‘deserve’.

Sod integrity, sod the match going fans, sod the entertainment factor.

They won't though as there will be the financial implications

France and Scotland. Championship was rumoured to consider it.

Holland agreed that the two top leagues were void, the Belgian league had 1 game left and they crowned a title winner. Both leagues have less financial weight to consider and have also had full co-operation with all the teams.

It's all down to circumstance and situations that fit that league. We all know the English leagues is purely financial but there's no cooperation with all the league's which is where the problems lie for me.

It’s easily the fairest way possible... the money is something which could be sorted out by simply agreeing to a few extra games on the contract in a season or two.... how many need become ill or god forbid die before common sense prevails ?
