Not sure you’d get much commitment from players who haven’t been given a new contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 This is a powder keg for the EFL and I can’t wait for it to go bang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how they would work it out. What no one seems to mention - how poo poo will games be with no fans? I don’t just mean atmosphere, but will players be up for the game? Also - playing around somewhere like anfield, OT etc as an away team is totally different without fans. That’s also unfair on those who’ve already played there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockieOwl Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 25 minutes ago, soldierboyblue said: Look at France, Holland and potentially Spain - all cancelled their seasons and voided the season. This as you say would draw a line under this issue and allow a more informed decision of how football progresses in the future. Another huge factor in this is if the players want to play in the current climate and from reading Aguero's comments yesterday that is a big NO. Talking of Aguero, is he in England? Any players in Argentina? They have banned all plane travel until September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Where is an out of contract player going to go (particularly in the championship)..nobody has the money to pay them, they can't even drop down a league as they are prob at crisis point already. A few may escape to the prem but not many. All efl clubs are in the same boat...we may be better off than many. The players will accept short term contracts, prob pro-rata on what they get now..they don't have much choice..imho of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 We might see a lot of young players making first team football sooner than they may have done? I can see the nation’s respective national teams benefitting in the medium-long term due to the current crisis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players will just get their wages until clubs go bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However unlikely it is I’d expect us and every club above us right up to 4th to take legal action against the EFL. If in January, sides such as Forest, Bristol, Preston etc spent more money than they normally would have chasing the playoffs only to be told things have changed and the top 3 are going up without playoffs, then they can quite rightly consider themselves to have been hard done to. Yeah. Well they should live within their means then. Dont spend what you dont have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avon barksdale Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Do the epl, efl , fa , sky and whoever else is involved in the farce of football returning behind closed doors in June actually care what the fans think ? I have no desire to watch football at the moment. Maybe later in the year that will change but this constant push for it to return so soon leaves a bitter taste for me.

Why should they accept short term contracts on the same terms if you wanted me short term you would have to pay a lot more than I was on now. what happens if I get injured and I am out for a year, a short term contract is useless to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One season currently in progress disrupted or roll it over into as yet an undamaged season? I know which will be the preferred option for the business people I didn’t realise that. I would much prefer a new season than finishing this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
