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.

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...

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?

Ronaldo obvioulsy not fussed about playing against Sweden. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/13954/12103267/cristiano-ronaldo-portugal-and-juventus-star-tests-positive-for-coronavirus

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...

Hope everyone is looking forward to their chlorinated chicken

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...

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.

Where I live we have 3 conservative councillors as well as Street and they are all constantly claiming to be against things that are unpopular locally that are the policy of the Conservative government. Makes you wonder if they're in the right party.

Why do they always do this? If closing them is the right thing to do then close them now. Don't give everyone a couple of days notice to go on a massive 2 day bender.

Need to find out what meals they serve in pubs in tier 3 areas as it seems to make you immune from covid. That's a much simpler solution than bothering to create a vaccine.

lets hope they give it to people who have a clue how to run a working system this time.
