    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Comical listening to Jenrick on LBC trying to explain what counts as a meal. Going to a pub and having a pasty and pint is out, going to the pub and having a pasty that comes with salad and a pint absolutely fine.

    6 championship clubs need bailout

    Fingers crossed but I'd be surprised. We came into the division knowing the situation and have pretty much the lowest wage bill, plus no ground to maintain!

    Project Big Picture...

    The Palladium pictures are mad, there's no way they have maintained 2 metre distancing even though they did once the pics started circulating. Also, having been to the Palladium I'm struggling to believe anything remotely resembling distancing was maintained in the areas outside the main...

    Project Big Picture...

    The more I think about a Euro League there more I think a lot of clubs wouldn't go for it. Would any Bundeslida teams leave? Would Barca and Real want to move from winning the league every year to the possibility of years without a title. When was the last time one of Inter, AC or Juve didn't...

    It was impossible to predict something like that would happen if you give people 48 hours lockdown notice,

    6 championship clubs need bailout

    Don't want any club to go out of business but from a purely selfish point of view if 6 more teams got points deductions it makes survival a lot easier.

    This seems back to front to me. Shouldn't the numbers dictate what tier an area is in, or at the very least shouldn't this be centrally controlled and not something thats up for discussion? Council's shouldn't be having to approach the government to be moved to the most suitable tier.

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    Its disgraceful. Just on the Sport England objection alone it should have been rejected, they absolutely ripped Wasps apart and basically said they were lying in their application. If you were the suspicious type you might wonder why local politicians and planning officers seem to do...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Like how the article also casually slips in that the two homes were built in breach of planning laws. Shouldn't there be some action about that as well?

    This is obviously a very small sample size but my 72 year old Mum, who has voted Conservative all her life, was raving about Andy Burnham a couple of days ago.

    Don't the number of covid deaths generally go up from those reported daily to when the ONS publishes full death stats including all deaths with causes?

    Thats exactly their thinking but is that sustainable long term? The gap between is pretty big in the Prem League already, this plan would see the 'big 6' get stronger and stronger. Eventually interest in watching anything but games between 2 of those teams will drop off so you end up with only...

    Its Americans behind this as well isn't it? They clearly don't understand football fans and are trying to make it the same as in the US. A closed off league with clubs treated more as brands than sporting entities. Look at teams like the Raiders and Yankees, marketing & merchandising takes...

    Its needs a clear and coherent strategy that is actually 'following the science' so that when the government or experts are questioned they can back up what they are doing and justify it. Couple that of clear explanations of why we're doing things and even at this stage with the amount of...

    Think its counterproductive. You reach a point where people get bored of watching the same team(s) win everything. There was talk that the FA were having talks about exactly that problem and how it would impact future deals when Leicester came along and it all seemed to be forgotten about. It...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    I really hope none of their supporters have invested on the basis that Richardson will sort them out if it all goes tits up. If he had that sort of money to throw around they wouldn't need a bond in the first place.

    Didn't they quickly break their own system and start removing restrictions when we were still in a level where they should remain in place? Seem to remember they got quietly dropped and never mentioned again after that.

    I'd love to see a realistic salary cap and salary floor along with a limit on squad sizes that made the PL far more competitive. Its basically the same handful of clubs winning everything and the rest of the teams scrapping to stay up to keep a share of the money.
