DJMortimer Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 That would seem to confirm what QPR said a couple of days ago. Remarkable contempt from the league for their member clubs and those they employ. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I think the re-start will be put back a week? TBH I think the EFL should accept that the season is going to go beyond July and look to start at the beginning of the month but I suppose Gibson, Barnsley etc. would have to be consulted first? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 They are so desperate to stay cosy with the EPL that they are doing everything they can to just force this through. They know they have a hard deadline at the end of July due to player contracts. As it stands the 20th June is just about as late as they can restart and hit that date. This is going to rumble on for years to come. There will be teams relegated after players are out of contract, teams missing out on promotion/play-offs etc. It's going to be an absolute sh!t show! 6 Just not bothered...

Guest wilyfox Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I think clubs will rebuff the June 20 resumption - and rightly so. It would put players at greater risk of injury. They usually get a 5 week pre-season with full contact plus a handful of friendlies. Now they're getting 4 weeks, partly non-contact in small groups, and no games. They need adequate prep time.

0114 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 You’ll never get 24 teams to agree on anything. EFL are right to go ahead and give a date. They’ve had 2 weeks of training and now another 3 weeks of contact training. No team is at an advantage or disadvantage from this and are all in the same boat. Steven Fletcher was out injured for 2 months and didn’t need a 5 week programme before Monk placed him in the team. Just get on with this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be driven back a week at least. What surprised me most is EFL's intention to complete champ inc. playoffs by end of July. For finalists, that would mean 12 games in 6 weeks with half-fit players. And if one season does roll straight into next as Bullen implied, the transfer window will be manic.

WalthamOwl Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Surely a lot of teams feel like this. Couldn’t the clubs refuse to return to competitive games on that date. It’s just asking for injuries rushing back to soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_D Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Its like when you've done the cold turkey and not had a cig for 10 weeks. Someone then offers you one, you're just not sure its worth the hassle, when you've done without for all those weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Still no explanation how relegation from the championship will work sering as league one has made no announcement about resuming their season. What a complete clusterfuck this is, all to keep Sky happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Have the championship clubs actually had the vote about whether to restart the season yet? I wasnt confident 51% would vote yes to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
