    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Its a joke isn't it. Had a mate apply for one of these jobs and he was told he had to commit to three months and would have to live onsite. The cost of which would be deducted from the ridiculously low wage. Rules out anyone furloughed or with any responsibilities.

    Why are football clubs struggling?

    Latest media reports are that the EFL intend to use Prenetics for testing and each club will be charged £100K. Clubs will also able to opt out and carry out their own independent testing. Its not just the testing. We've had cup games with low crowds where we've lost money due to it costing more...

    Why are football clubs struggling?

    Given the cost of testing and the loss of revenue due to BCD playing the games would cost clubs far more money than it would generate.

    Not using Cash since lockdown

    Having just googled tiktok isn't it the same as tout that was around a few years ago and completely flopped or Vine which got the chop when other services added video? There's so much overlap on these sites its ridiculous, people must waste hours. Do new ones keep emerging just because kids...

    Why are football clubs struggling?

    Most clubs were already loss making so throwing in losing ten games of income is going to be a problem. Potentially they will have to make pro-rata refunds on season tickets, advertising, sponsorship, hiring out of facilities on non-matchdays and broadcasting revenue. They also don't know what...

    Way things are going it won't be long before someone suggests a tournament where all the clubs play each other, once at home and once away!

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Exactly, why would any team other than one that was out of the play offs but would now be in this expanded play off vote for it?

    ST holders poll

    I can, people kicked off about getting a game 'free' next season to make up for the Bury game. Interestingly the club posted this at the time

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    The league has a format set out. Top 2 go up and then the next 4 in playoffs. As far as I'm concerned the only valid reason to change that is if the play offs can't take place, then you have to decide if its just 2 up or the top 3. I get clubs fighting their corner but wanting to change the...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    We're top and people are talking about us struggling in the Championship next season. Would make the league a complete joke if they ended up promoting the team in 11th!

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    Went through Greg Daniels other new show at the weekend. Upload on Amazon. Wasn't expecting much from the trailer but it was excellent and given the cliff hanger has thankfully been renewed for a second season. Read an interview with Daniels at the weekend, he's got a pretty impressive hit...

    Was just reading that in The Times, re-read it several times as I thought I was missing something. Not even due to start until next month, literally months behind other countries and we’re already talking about relaxing it.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Can see why they gave him the job as he's done such a good job of getting a new naming rights deal for the Ricoh! He's only been chief exec for 9 months but you can't blame him for getting out at the first opportunity.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Exactly. Also issues with loan players. What if Villa decide they don't want to risk O'Hare and / or Norwich don't want to risk McCallum for example. Gets very complicated very quickly.

    At 47.75 as well, someones lost some money. Don't think even the biggest pessimist on here thought the price would ever go that low.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Players whose contacts aren't renewed get paid one month as a sort of notice period but they aren't contracted to play. You'd have to negotiate with every player whose contract or loan was expiring. Would they all agree? Sure all of ours would as they want the promotion but some players on teams...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    The games wouldn't be in any contract as they wouldn't have been allowed to show them. L1 will be a non issue. If football does get played it will be behind closed doors so Sky, BT, Amazon and anyone else prepared to cover the cost of showing games will get as many as they like to ensure every...
