pazowl55 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Think this season will be voided and the the record books will read cancelled due to Coronavirus. Everything will be the same as the start of the season promotion relegation wise. And as for us. I recon they probably say the financial year doesn't exist if the season doesn't exist. Dont know how that helps us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 This season will be cancelled because there's simply no way of fitting the rest of the season in with player contracts; the Euro's, pre-season and next season. Also the peak time for the virus is around the time of the Euro's. I think that means the EFL threat of a points deduction will carry over to next season, along with contracts, as though next season is this season?

It doesn't seem to be life threatening to football aged players, the elderly; homeless, vulnerable and already sick are most at risk. I would imagine clubs would be insured in such circumstances or able to make an emergency transfers like in some other major Leagues or clubs will have to promote more youth players into their first teams? Regardless, people's health and well being, should be most important. There are issues to overcome with cancelling this season but not as many as there would be if this season is completed at a later date. Those issues will just have to be faced and overcome in due course. But in most sensible likelihood it appears highly likely that this season will eventually be cancelled.

You are contracted till 2020 that's when it ends. Impossible to change that. It will be the 20/21 season not the 19/20 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what about the players contracts if season delayed so they get it renewed for a couple of months or they simply won’t be able to play? Let's be honest I'd prefer next season so we can work them off if it goes on the way it is going then the longer season takes to continue the more likely itll be deduction this season and we relegated and I dont think any if us want that. Let them do it next season but at this rate I do think fate is out if our hands and we will be league one sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you're probably correct, not sure about that side of it to be honest but it appears to me to be no way of completing this season. The financial implications they will have to face and overcome in time but it pales in comparison to the importance of people's health. Maybe football will finally become more realistic again for a year or so, whilst it recovers and overcomes the implications of a cancelled season or a period of shutdown?

Fuzzy logics Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 What are the odds of a 12 point deduction this season prior to an announcement that there will be no more games played this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait Unless Chansiri seriously believes he can turn this mess around (which I have serious doubts about) what is there in this for him to carry on chucking so much money at us ad infinitum without any realistic return on investment? I cannot see any other outcome but him eventually cutting his losses and sell at a hugely discounted price or, more likely, we eventually reach the point where administration is the only way out?

The current hiatus is long enough for clubs to quarantine all of their players. If most emerge from that healthy, then I’d expect the season to conclude with a fairly rapid set of matches behind closed doors. Abandoning the season is a legal minefield. I’d expect the PL and the EFL to move mountains to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be inclined to agree that admin may be the route we end up down if DC is forced out by the fan base , the money he’s spent has gone , barring promotion he won’t see a penny of it back in any sale and I’m sure he will know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have to make stark decisions based on his own financial position and whether it is worth pumping in the kind of money required to keep us going. He has no real emotional connection regardless of what he might say. So where are the incentives to carry on losing money hand over foot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then player contracts may be the least of people's worries. The current government plan is to delay the peak of infection and spread it out. The peak of cases is likely to be May to July with a long tail going into mid autumn. So there is no chance of this season being resumed until the autumn, after what would normally be the start of next season. So they can either have a null season for 2019-20 and start 2020/21 late or make 2020/21 a short season which effectively completes this season. Whichever, they have to decide if there is any promotion or relegation and also revise financial rules as most clubs are going to lose huge amounts of income with ongoing high salary costs. For those of us who are still around in 6 months, it may well work in our favour. Edited March 13, 2020 by Aingarth Mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
