[Updated] Football suspended indefinitely


robf

Recommended Posts

I've popped a story on the homepage about this week's talks.

https://www.onevalefan.co.uk/2020/05/government-tells-premier-league-to-support-football-league-clubs-if-season-resumes/

If (and it's a big "if") the PL does resume then it will be key what they think "supporting" the lower leagues is.

For me, "supporting" lower league clubs is not merely guaranteeing future solidarity payments (which due to parachute payment are unbalanced and unfair anyhow) as some PL clubs have suggested. To me, "supporting" means the PL giving a share of the TV revenues to the FL to support them.

Whether the PL will do that and whether the govt will force them to do so is potentially going to be crucial to some club's survival.

Troy Deeney makes a good point whe he says how can footballers be expected to make a return in June when hairdressers can't return until July?

Quite right, how can they be expected to turn out without having a nice hair do first.

EFL meeting seems to have not been able to make any decision.  The meeting seems pointless other then the salary cap and the news that leagues could fund testing if all sides agree to it. The main issue will be the 6 clubs in Lg1 who want to play, so still anything may happen.

disgusting. To not even get a chance to play...

 

we'd have got in that top 7. We may have even finished above them lot down the road - they had a tough run in and had to come to Vale Park

 

yet we miss out while they get promoted. Missing out a load of games against the top half. A stroke of luck that all their games before the lockdown was against your Macclesfields and your Morecambes

The play offs is gutting as a week before we are in them! And Northampton had a horrific last six on paper and were bang out of form. If this is correct as Dan Roan is reporting on twitter then will be interested to see how Vale and Bradford certainly respond.

Precisely this. Northampton had a shocking run in . 

No decision will be universally accepted. I don't know the answer, but based on today's decision that bionic eyed linesman at Cheltenham has probably cost us our chance of the play offs
