EighteenSixty7 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The desperation to get the season finished is laughable. Personally I'm not missing football, be it Wednesday or otherwise. All these attempts at getting the season back, as quickly as possible, is making me become less interested in the game as a whole. There bigger things going on in the world, theres no rush to get football back. It's all about money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can the earth continue to spin without players diving around and screaming like children. We are all depressed about being stuck in our homes and only soulless, silent, pointless football matches will save us. God bless the premier league. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 It is totally absurd. 5 subs, neutral venues, and yet players will still be coming into close contact. They are totally changing the rules of the competition with 10 games left, all in order to cash in the TV money. The PL actually makes my skin crawl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how new clubs qualify in this scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agentwalker Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) They should just play out the remainder of the games as penalty shootouts but extend it to 10 a side. Would be quite entertaining :) Edited April 28, 2020 by agentwalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 'race for the top 4' that Sky bores us with every year becomes irrelevant. Going to be interesting to see how the PL and FA get round this one.

Sorry, didn't realise that was being said, so back to, which teams will earn the TV companies the most in advertising and therefore how much more will the TV companies pay to televise it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would make the PL less attractive to TV companies as there is not much riding on the league is this the prelude to a European league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey - I assumed it was merely a Coronavirus thing, albeit with the potential to become permanent due to mission creep. Terrible if it happens.

Every single organisation is planning for the earliest possible moment to resume business. That goes from everyday people to big businesses. Its no surprise that one of the biggest, most popular and followed parts of our lives is trying to get back underway is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 For integrity reasons the seasons has to finish on the same basis and rule format with that it started - VAR - 3 subs not 5 subs - all 38 games played - only positions mathematically secured are final Anything else other than that and it’s null and void and that’s the realisation that other leagues are coming to, except it seems the PL.
