Peterborough owner is saying voiding is not an option



That's all well and good but players contracts will be expiring. If Bristol City were to take back Walsh for example when his loan runs out of a players contract runs out in June then what happens then? Are they going to open the transfer window so that players can be replaced? That then isn't a fair comparison to how things are now.

The league would extend contracts and allow players whose contract ends like Bakayoko to play that’s not an issue

So they are going to then force players? What happens if players didn't want to extend the contract? What happens if a player gets a career ending injury in a game in June that he shouldn't have been playing for that club?

players will get revolving monthly extensions. It’s unlikely many would refuse you can play non contract players now if you want to

Who then pays all of that extra wage?

The club would - it’s two weeks extra pay that assumes games go as late as June 15 which is not likely League 1 play offs are scheduled last week of May anyway so the loans are contracted till then

Everton isolating all players even though no positive test. Why are we not following advice?

The 'experts' know better.

The main expert of course being someone who has written articles calling for social darwinism- its no surprise at all that we are going to take a 'survival of the fittest' approach.

So where are clubs getting that money while income is stopped?

Income won’t have stopped as they’d still in the end play the same number of games? It’s a tiny amount of money in the scheme of things

I'm pretty sure they are insured for stuff like this.

Nobody has any of these answers, this has never happened before.
In times gone by we have had whole weeks lost to bad weather these games are rearranged for later, the finance problem would kick in if games went to behind closed doors so I can understand the reluctance to go that way. It just needs a common sense plan to how to proceed should we call games off for now.

This is not bad weather and it could be two months before the virus peaks.

Incomparable.

It'll be cash-flow more than anything. 8-12 weeks with no income, and clubs also rely on season ticket revenue for the following season around now. There are clearly ways around this though and the authorities should make it as easy as possible for clubs to borrow money during this period.

I get Herd immunity, but given that we don’t know whats going to happen with this virus regarding mutation etc.

fucking stupid, but I guess it’s a way of social engineering

Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance vs Jeremy Hunt and Piers Morgan.

It's not much of a choice tbf.
 
As much as we all want to carry on as normal unfortunately some things are more important than a game. I fear more will only realise this when it personally affects them.

Are people really going to politicise a stock scientific term like 'herd immunity' and start likening it to social engineering?

On mutations, I read something the other day that said one new variant had emerged 'L type' I think, from the ancestral 'S type', but it also suggested the virus appeared pretty stable and further mutations were highly unlikely, offering reassurance that any vaccines developed over the next 6 months would likely still be effective. Again, just repeating, I'm no scientist.

What's better for my health and wellbeing? To do what I'm advised to do, and pay heed, or to have myself alternately spooked by the sensationalism that all my family and friends are going to die a long, lingering, painful death, and enraged with the suggestion that somehow I don't care, and I'll have it all coming to me.

These threads are getting ludicrous and pathetic. It's time I removed myself for my own health and wellbeing, as the only thing going on is people personalising it, and somehow making it a competition over who's the most compassionate.
