Plonk Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 8 hours ago, hirstyboywonder said: A very good reason why no club or manager should tell a player that they are finished at the club weeks or months before the end of a season. What sort of an idiot would do that? Particularly if it involved about half of your first team squad. The impact of doing that would be disastrous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I dream it (because I googled it and can't find it), but did a player once play 1 half for 1 club, then the second half for the other side?

torryowl Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 if he was no good Charlton wouldn't have any qualms on releasing him so owes no loyalty to them ….he's doing whats best for himself and why wouldn't he . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Quite obvious Taylor has got a new contract lined up elsewhere and possibly the club is putting pressure on him not to play for Charlton and get injured, for all we know it could be us and we lose most of our forwards on the 30th. Not ethical but it might help keep them below us in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Does this work out well for the club though, if the players refuse to play then the club can refuse to pay them. I give it a few weeks before they are back in training. As in the summer when there are hundreds if not thousands of players looking for contracts he could well be at the bottom of the line.

TommyCraig Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 The ideal thing would be for the potential buyers of these players to back off and say 'sorry don't like that attitude so no longer interested'. It won't happen because the clubs are unwilling to show any kind of solidarity whatsoever. But that's what it needs, solidarity amongst the clubs to fend off these parasites and stop this disgusting greedy behaviour that's gone on for far too long now, not just during this crisis. Not holding my breath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the many problems with the EFL and why the current people ala Parry are not fit for purpose. They spend all their time sucking up to the Premier league for the scraps of their table instead of sorting out what they are there for. What the EFL should have done. Get a package in place to make sure no team goes bust because of Corona. Pass an amendment to the season and any player under contract will remain under contract and at the club until the season has ended. Make sure safety is paramount and not profit. Until there are no positive test in the league no games are played All the above could be easily done if all 24 teams stand as one the problem is they won't and they are only bothered about one think MONEY.

daveyboy66 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 The schedule that the clubs are looking at is a game every three days...the chance of picking up an injury is far greater than usual. You can't blame them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are trying to cram to much into to little space. We are behind the premier league in terms of training, and have playoffs to fit in aswell. Even if we did restart I think after a few games in and 4 or 5 major players getting injured or getting covid19 and I just think clubs will refuse to carry on and say to the EFL. Do what you want with us. See you in court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
