How long has the guy had the job - seems like decades (cushiest / well paid job going?)

Thought this thread was posted by a person, with a lisp, about The Titanic (I'll get my coat)

My brother is in his 50s. He gets it, he dies....the under 75s who are vulnerable (underlying conditions) are locking themselves away. If the virus gets to them, a significant number will suffer.

Ok until the last part - it's not people losing 1 month off their life expectancy ( in some cases, maybe). Haven't got time at the moment, but that's a flawed calculation, imho.

One thing that is perhaps different about the current set of circumstances is that a significant proportion of the population know that if they catch this, there is a strong possibility they will die. Yes people with cancer etc will have had to face up to their mortality (I know my brother has...

Cheers mate. I'm fine with life and not down at all, but am mindful of how others are (my brother has been told he WILL die if he gets it- and he's pretty matter of fact about it). My post was just a reaction to what I thought were a couple of flippant posts, which I don't think they would have...

On a side issue, with regards to 'people die all the time' My Auntie was taken to hospital two days ago (I'll say no more on that) If she has passed it onto her husband (my uncle) - goodbye My brother has leukaemia (treatable) but if he gets it.... Mum, stepfather and father in-law - if they...

I think that the longer this situation carries on, a lot of PL teams will suddenly hit a wall, as SKY/sponsors etc will not be as keen to fork out ££££s as previously. Suddenly the players wages are going to take a real hit and it will be interesting to see how clubs react. From appearing as if...

Will Hellas get a European place - the next most important thing after City's promotion!

I'd pay £20 a game to watch CCFC on TV until we were allowed back. Fans would save on away day costs, so wouldn't be any worse off. Probably couldnt watch games in the pub (assuming restrictions) so may get more paying customers? I appreciate that a number of people will have suffered...

Lived there for a short while in the 80s (after I was expelled from Cubbington!)

That explains it....as long as he was north of the river (sorry Juggy)!

Right - let's do a repeat of the panic that started when the BBC played HG Wells' ' War of the Worlds' THE ALIENS ARE COMING !!!

What's the chance it's an ex City player that has leaked the 'Gas' tape! Only say that as there's so many of them!!

If we stay in League 1 we will be financially worse off as The Championship would produce more TV money. Players wages are likely to be more realistic/subdued, due to the coronavirus effect on clubs overall, so even if we were relegated i would expect us to be in a stronger position as a club by...

Very eloquent speaker for a (stereotypical) footballer

It'll be the 'meaningless' games that could become farcical if they are being forced to play in the midst of this - once a side knows they've missed out on a playoff spot with 4 games to play, will the club e.g. pull out due to financial/emotional stress etc. You can imagine a few dodgy...

We could wear some of our old kits if we run out of the current ones :woot:

Clubs should hopefully be able to survive the current season with ifollow income (albeit some may be up against the wall in terms of finance), but next season will be a different kettle of fish. As others have mooted, there may be a lot of unemployed footballers next season - certainly players...

You're right - can you imagine City v whoever and we need to win to go up - impossible to police and stop the exterior being surrounded by people (a version of The Hill at Northhampton)
