@owlstalk Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The EFL have written to clubs outlining a seven point plan to save the season and bizarrely snubbing cash from the Premier League The seven key points were as follows: 1) Give their players time off starting from NOW and not returning to any form of training until May 16. 2) Aiming at crashing through a 56-day season when they can to complete all three divisions. 3) Carrying on with play-offs, with home and away semis and a final at a venue to be decided. 4) All games to be closed doors until further notice. 5) Clubs are being told to pay the wages of the players this month while talks continue with the PFA about how that can be done. 6) Astonishingly the EFL will put the advance 'rescue' package from the Premier League on hold right now despite clubs needing cash. 7) Arranging a break between seasons, with no set date for the 2020-21 campaign.

TrickyTrev Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I’m guessing they’ll issue match by match Ifollow logins for season ticket holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness. And they will probably account for this season in FFP for all clubs knowing their incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 That really is a case of rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic. The EFL are not fit to come up with a strategy or package of solutions... they’re simply inept. Call it off and start again ( hopefully) next season.

mcmigo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Can the club arrange for booing to be piped through the loudspeakers at half time , full time, the announcement of Dawson starting and Nuhiu coming off the bench so the players feel at home with no crowds ? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL actually say that the money won’t be distributed “while additional clarity is sought on other financial matters, particularly in respect to players wages”. Which I read as, they’re not going to give the money out just so the clubs can carry on paying obscene amounts to the players rather than using it to help with keeping the clubs running / afloat. If that’s the case then I think that’s fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
