Putney Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 The EFL are looking to come back in June with games behind closed doors. Whether they're allowed to is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Interesting from Gary Neville: common sense re learning a new skill, but perhaps of most interest is the statement that clubs want a reset. Remember he is involved (kind of) with Salford so might know what the situation is with lower league clubs.

legendaryswan Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) On 22/04/2020 at 04:32, Bulgaria said: The season without doubt will be completed. When restrictions allow it. Looks like June will be the cut off point,a lot of contracts will expire in that month and the transfer window for this season closed in January,so squads cant be altered. Teams that are weakened by departures can argue they cant field a strong enough squad to be as competative as they would have been at the time of the original fixture. The only precidents are outbreaks of war,the competitions were cancelled and war leagues set up on a regional basis. From what Ive been privvy to from people who work in football,regional football has already been discussed and clubs sounded out about the possibilty of such a competition Edited April 23, 2020 by legendaryswan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassroots isn't viewed as important by the professional game. Grassroots likes to thinks it is, but it's not. It's the ultimate hyperbole.

Plonk Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 The end of June isn’t just important for player contracts. I read that Liverpool have the same date for new kits, new kit sponsors etc etc. They are saying these will be very difficult to change without agreement. There’s just so many problems with going beyond the end of June. That’s eight weeks away. To do a pre season, play around ten league games, quarter semi and cup finals, plus all the outstanding European fixtures.Not checked but that could be fifteen or sixteen games for some clubs in five or six weeks?
