EFL will pay for tests against future monies due to clubs so ultimately clubs paying. But all the other PPE etc costs paid by clubs directly. It's a cash flow measure whilst doors are closed.

This PPE figure seems to be shrinking by the day with him. He's deliberately missing the point. Clubs with financial issues or nothing to play for don't want to be extending players contracts past June 30th. Would seem some teams bitching about this type of teams putting out very weak sides in...

Or 1 pt clear of 8th :) At least one of these playoff sides would fall out of contention. I think as a fan of these 4 playoff clubs I'd be taking what we have rather than gambling. Might only get 2 games in before it shuts again. So Oxford could easily drop from 3rd to 8th and have no chance of...

Think League 1 clubs know pretty much the vote will go having gauged the mood of what meetings there have been - Peterborough's owners seemed to have given up as soon as the EFL announcement was made this week.

World cup averages a game every 4-5 days. so roughly a 1.5 games per week so 9 games takes 6 weeks. It's 7 games in about a month for the finalist. Bundesliga is doing 2 games per week so even with that would take play-off finalists into middle of August if L1 resumes with a beginning of July...

That surely makes it impossible to complete a proper season including play-offs etc. Players would have been "off" for over 3 months (longer than a normal season break). Clubs have about 6 weeks in a normal preseason but even if they get it down to a 4 week pre-season (for a beginning of July...

Then that makes him a real piece of work. And a cheap hypocrite.

Fair play for finally realizing there is a bigger picture. Very difficult to see how a lot of L1 & 2 clubs can survive being BCD this season, let alone when it continues into next season.

wonder Oxford & Pompey fans feel about it. Peterborough certainly have players & particularly the fixtures to go past them.

2 weeks for a decision. Then training period is past the beginning of July. Clubs aren't going to "unfurlough" players now on the off chance season may restart.

Surprised the PFA is being so quiet about all of this particularly with so many members being out of contract at the end of June and in a very uncertain situation if they sign contract extensions to whenever the season would end.

Struggle to feel sorry for Fleetwood as they've a wage bill in excess of their turnover and continued to spend money. One of the largest wage bills in the Division without the crowds to support it.

Football finance is a mess. Even with the money awash in the PL clubs have let wages in particular get ridiculously out of control. Many clubs have wage bills in excess of 70% of turnover. In the Championship you've got clubs paying out more in wages than their income. Already there is serious...

Damien Collins reckons 5 to 10 L1/2 clubs could be in admin in the next few weeks. Is it right to make these clubs play if it's going to break them? These clubs with their own promotion/relegation issues claiming it's for the good of football to carry on, sporting integrity etc. (many with...

He's given us pelters for all sorts of reasons over the years. But fair comments today. He's matey with MacAnthony as well as he was often on his show.

any club (or individual) that doesn't want the season curtailed and potentially derail our promotion is going to get stick. Don't think it's especially personal. Any club that votes for resuming is going to get stick as well.

from a purely practical point of view PL clubs have had their players in individually for a week or so and small group training started 2 days ago. Many PL clubs saying they need 4-5 week to be ready (player fitness,safety etc.) and want a start date of June 26th to get their 9 games in. (saying...

what's this - another club selling its stadium to interested parties to clear debt / SCMP/ FFP etc ?

Are these options from the EFL board or after a meeting of clubs?

or take that run of form into a 3 game series rather than having to possibly hold it for another 9 games
