Can't argue but I guess when a club is in the state Bolton find themselves it's only likely to delay things for another season

Sorry my first post should have said only the PL and L2 would have more teams That's right providing the same formula was used through the divisions but these are only outline proposals if games can't be played The big thing though is that there will be promotions but no relegations There are no...

From off the record comments I've heard the most likely solution if games can't be completed is that finishing places will be decided on 'sporting merit' And that promotions will be as usual but there won't be any relegation So all divisions will have extra teams next season with more clubs...

And if you get into a dispute with a Chinese company and visit to try to resolve it you'll have a good chance of being arrested

I'm hearing that although the clubs would like to finish the season the number of factors against doing so are likely to torpedo any chance Not least of the problems is players whose contracts expire at the end of June. Some clubs just can't afford to pay them with no income And a huge number...

Big businesses and western governments are to blame Reducing costs was put ahead of all other considerations & we are now paying the price Nothing will be the same in the future.

From the news this morning it looks like we are ramping things up massively We've had the lab capacity for huge numbers of tests for a while but the logistics of doing them and getting them to the labs has taken a while to sort out Part of the problem was that we bought 3.5 million tests from...

True But they don't actually know when they will get the deferred payments The players did it to make sure no back room staff would lose their jobs

Coronavirus and football: Fifa medical chair does not want restart this season

That's possibly because not many have been tested Portsmouth tested all their players after they had been exposed to Mikel Arteta and 5 were positive although most were asymptomatic

That's hit the nail on the head Morally football can only resume once all key workers etc have had or have the chance of a test if they want one Football can then resume in similar circumstances as in Germany if all has worked out well there

Although I hope it doesn't happen you can see the thinking behind this from Sky's viewpoint They would have decent content to screen where all the games had something riding on them

The mad thing was that when he joined West Ham (where his uncle had been a club legend) his first game was against Arsenal where he came on as sub playing up front due to an injury crisis

I think this is the trial I was talking about yesterday as it's being organised by a department at Oxford University as mentioned in the article

Not sure that's the same one There are lots of groups working on virus intelligence here and abroad

It's just a coincidence in this case but it is important for football as there is no chance games will go ahead before more is known about this virus We will be looking closely at how it goes in Germany

Don't think it's been publicly announced yet but I have personal knowledge of it from people who are involved Don't think it's a secret but most attention is on the vaccine trials which also started at Oxford yesterday

A trial started in Oxford this week where volunteers who haven't had the virus (to their knowledge) are being tested to see what proportion actually have had it without symptoms Apparently the trial will also include central London and Birmingham which are hotspots of course That should give a...
