Lrrr Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I'm sure this has nothing to do with McAnthony's decision if the adjusted system would move Peterborough out of the play offs (surely Wycombe move above them).... bit of a conflict of interest over just deciding to end the season.... https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/peterborough-united-chairman-will-quit-his-post-if-posh-dont-make-league-one-play-offs-1369328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three points won v Southend or Bolton will presumably not be valued as highly as three v Oxford or Pompey, something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52595505 Now PL clubs are appearing to want to let lower league clubs die so that they can then have a B team for there squads. Why not give them the money to survive and why share resources, I am sure Brighton were not saying things like this when they were at the Withdean.

The paragraph in the middle is quite interesting though (forget the first line about ground sharing) - it would appear that Steve`s vision for the future may turn out to be not too far from reality.

Lrrr Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 If the worst case scenario happened of clubs going out of business I’d rather see the football league operate with less clubs or more pushed up from the conference than allow B teams. Of course the ideal thing to do would be for the premier league and it’s teams to be generous and help out the lower leagues..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we could always close tax loopholes, stop bailing out tax avoiders, and use that revenue to protect community assets and other businesses adversely affected by the virus. PL players could donate a portion of their salaries to help struggling clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in March I believe. To me it confirms the season should be scrapped and focus put into making next season work. Hand Liverpool the title, they deserve it. Everything else is irrelevant in terms of promotions and relegations. The players aren’t even going to be match fit for a long time, if at all this season, and the rules about distancing and even spitting will make it impossible for them to play football! Invest all the money they are talking about it taking to get the premier league finished this season into where it’s needed most. All those tests that would need to be constantly carried out, give them to the care homes and hospitals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeker Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 It is clear that the risk is still too high for people to mix and for football to resume anytime soon. Hopefully the infection rate will continue to decline over the summer months. My suggestion would be to restart and complete the previous season in full from September. The 2020-21 season should then be reduced so that it completes around the time it originally would have. This might be only playing once against each opponent in 2020-21. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can. For me the season has to be voided. We are nowhere near ready to even think about reducing the 'lockdown' ....let alone having players ready to play competitive football The season is done sadly. It's disappointing as, although we were relatively poor....we had a genuine shot at 6th spot. The authorities no it's over. There is just no one brave enough to make the decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packman Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Do people honestly think that nobody is going to test positive, it's bound to happen. We have to either learn to live with it or lock ourselves away for a couple of years and do nothing until a vaccine is found. Doing this will be a lot more damaging however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're stuck in a half way house at the moment, the two options should be containment or mitigation. The lockdown we have will never achieve containment because its not strict enough and then we are far too tough to be following a mitigation strategy because there is a mentality of 1 case is too one too many still. In the context of football this is going to keep rumbeling on and on and until there becomes an acceptance that there will be cases but we just need to move along taking reasonable precautions then nothing will be able to get started because odd cases will keep popping up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
