Beauchief Owl Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I see that Southampton's Chief Executive is suggesting that the EPL games could be resumed before restrictions are ended and would be televised for all those forced to stay at home. I wonder how much this is down to each PL team losing 38.1 million if the season is aborted rather than for the benefit of the socially isolated.

Big Jack Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The world and its inhabitants are sick. A couple of months of recuperation will do everyone good. In Wuhan they saw blue skys for the first time in years when everything stopped. Makes you think how much we have abused planet earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes things like Brexit and attacking the BBC look extremely petty Let's hope we all learn to be better as humans.. Together Attacking the BBC?? Hopefully an entity that will disappear forever.

There's a saying ' The Needs of the Many outweighs the Needs of the Few ' but in the PL Club's view ' The Needs of the Greedy Few Outweighs the Needs of the Many ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's why I basically flagged up the comments made by the Southampton Chief Executive. It's money driven. I do wonder if he appreciates how much less concern there is re football ATM compared to more important considerations for ordinary folk, however.

No he doesn't, to the people involved in the PL especially their own small world is the be all and end all of everything even thinking the whole country wants to watch football to relieve boredom, shows that he lives in his own little world where football is king and everyone who doesn't think the same isn't worth considering Sadly I don't see this changing when all this is over either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully for the better - not just demand driven, perpetual consumption and, therefore we can all have a more sustainable life. Many Clubs won’t survive I suspect - but hopefully with what’s left, we can get back to it being a sport. Hopefully - this stay, can allow a complete reset. Football has become a monster that is eating itself. We all need to get our priorities right - including sport/football. Very well put, Sir/Madam....

New Maple Staple Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Another things about the Corona virus, we could see a move back to standing up / standing areas at football ground. Much easier to do the social distancing. Many clubs might start ripping out the seats. Back to how it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkfieldowl14 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The PL just reflects the worst aspects of Thatcherite economics where pursuit of money take precidence over everything else.Hopefully when this crisis finally blows over,we will see a fundamental sea change in economic thinking.

We don't live in an ideal world. If you're a club chairman and teams having a poor run, fans in uproar in the ground, berating the team, manager and you the chairman. Then fans boycott games because they don't like you or the manager. What you gonna do? Sack the manager to appease the masses or say, stuff em, spoilt little bleeders, I'll do what i want and keep faith with the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
