Bolsterstone B Army Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Just a few thoughts to find some positives in this life without live sport and the seasons ended. ’If out of contract players are not going to be resigned and they clearly can’t be bothered to fight our corner why not give them the chance to leave now. No point in wasting our training time and facilities on them. They could be offered our medical facilities for the club to discharge its duty of care for its employees but don’ t see why they should mug us off any longer. They have eye watering salaries so can find their own personal trainer. Why have a bad apple about to ruin attitudes of other players?’ Yes, I know it’s not going to happen but beggars belief that players hold all the cards and can’t be bothered to play cos they’ve thrown their dolly out of the pram. ps. What date does an out of contract player finish? Is it at the end of the season and when will that be now?

We can now rename it "self-isolation on full pay until contract end". Sounds good to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolsterstone B Army Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 I like it. Bring it on as I have no time for one or two these heroes so beloved by many of our fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Can't do it in case the EFL finds a way to play the games before 30/6. No advantage to the club really. I don't think it will be long before clubs shut down anyway. If they are training it will only take one player to get it and the rest will need to self isolate.

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The Gods of football have spoken. There will be a cull of the current crap and Wilder will fail to end up in Europe with his L1 team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Players are still under contract so they can’t leave yet. Be strange if season had to run past players contract end dates. How would that work then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolsterstone B Army Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 No we are not asking them to leave just go and run round a field or kick a ball against a wall. They get paid but get out of our hair and lets build. I want my club back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Wonder if the EFL will waiver FFP as clubs will be forced to make even bigger losses, as games are not being played and revenue generated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) The season will be played out with a delayed finish. Next season will just start later. That's what I imagine will happen. Players will leave at the date their contracts end. Unless the club's offer them a short term contract to carry on a bit longer.

Can see a massive upturn in form from our underperforming stars when they realise they can rinse a few more weeks out of what are likely to be final contracts.

Rogers Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 We’ll still get 12 points deduction, but without the games to try to stay up. The Wednesday way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the maths of it but the ethics of it- will th EFL expect owners have been told to stop spending be allowed to start spending again to pay the wages of players?

There's not a chance of kicking off again on April 3rd. That's a date governed by how far they can allow the fixtures without affecting the play off dates and the Euro's. When the Euro's get cancelled I expect that will open up a longer window to complete the season which has to end on June 30th because of contracts. If we reach the point where the season cant be completed by then (which probably means resuming no later than 1st/2nd week in May) then it's decision time. Basically I'd say there's 8/9 weeks to get going again. If that doesn't happen then the whole season could be null and void. With that in mind I suspect we may see the EPL return behind closed doors if there is any light at the end of the tunnel by April 3rd with crowds maybe returning a few weeks later. The EFL is in a stickier spot than the EPL because its not financially viable for most of the 72 to write off the revenue of the remaining games.

BIG D Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I can’t see games being played even behind closed doors. There will be too many personnel affected by then i would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
