Cast your mind back a few months and you'll recall Trump was having a tantrum with the NFL. Swiftly followed by his buddy Vince McMahon setting up an alternative, the XFL. Back to the present day and this fun little sequence of events. April 9 - Linda McMahon's Super PAC pledges to spend...

Why would the TV companies hand over money for contracts that have been breached for the rights to show games that have been cancelled? IMO more likely they will take legal action to recover money already paid. Premier League alone are said to be on the hook for £750m in TV money if they end the...

But we all know nothing happens without the approval of the Prem as they just threaten to end solidarity payments. Would also need their agreement on promotion and relegation. Also if you cancel the Championship, L1 and L2 but the Prem say they are going to complete the season then you have...

XFL files for bankruptcy after suspending league

Haven't UEFA said if local federations end their leagues early they will lose their Champions League and Europa League places?

How does cancelling the season mean impact 'days away from going bust'? If anything it will be worse financially as they will have to hand back a portion of season ticket money, TV contracts etc. Not to mention the possibility of lawsuits to claim back money spent on games that were supposed to...

Are todays likely to be lower 'weekend' type numbers because of the bank holiday and then a jump tomorrow? Cautiously optimistic if these are regular numbers. The next problem will be there is no sign of an exit plan.

I've been waiting for someone in government to issue a correction over what Hancock said as it seems unthinkable that we were actually sending infected people into social care with some of the most vulnerable in society. Goes beyond incompetence.

Didn’t bother reading past the sub-headline:

This is one person taking part in a round table discussion about the situation in America. Not sure why the media have picked up on it and are presenting it as the probable course of action worldwide.

There was talk of isolating players in World Cup style camps with no contact with those outside their camp. You might just about be able to do that for the Prem but I think extending it down to all Football League clubs is unworkable. They don't have the facilities or the money to do it.

The people on that site need more reliable sources like we have on here and then they'd know that someone's neighbours cousin has said that Walsgrave is overflowing and can't cope.

Which is exactly why you need to look at overall death figures and compare them to other years. You will then see the overall impact coronavirus has on deaths.

That the players are off until May 16th. The article says there will be a short pre-season starting May 16th.

Think this is a key takeaway from the leak. The idea that it was far left or even Corbyn personally factions in Labour objected to is out the window. Seems anything to the left of Blair was seen as too much.

That was an incredible press conference. Propaganda videos trying to rewrite history, all out arguments with journalists then declaring he had total control over everything like some kind of dictator.

Insurance will play a part in this as well. If the insurance companies refuse to, or make it too expensive to, insure events and artists / players are they just going to risk it? Not sure how it works in sports but a lot of larger (from about 5K capacity) won't even take a booking if you aren't...
