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

Players need 4-5 weeks to get ready so beginning of July. Then the 9 or 10 games plus play-offs had to put them well into August

so we get a couple more game in and Peterborough (PPG qualified) and Sunderland move into top 6 ahead of Fleetwood & Rotherham then there's another little outbreak or a League 1 player tests postive and his team has to be quarantined for 14 days. Wonder how committed they'll be to finishing...

Championship apparently looking at a 15-20m cap. Again gives a big advantage to relegated Prem clubs with parachute payments as they'd get a year's "grace". But also the financial jump from League 1 to Championship almost would become as big as Champ to PL.(in wage budget terms) Also when you...

Salary cap: EFL proposes League One and League Two cap on wages 2.5m seems on the low side. Lot of teams way past that and would struggle to reduce it in time for next season - Fleetwood, Pompey, Posh, Sunderland, Ipswich amongst those apparently 7m plus for this season. Also gives relegated...

surely would have to appear in Council accounts and Wasps

so Sunderland paper thinks it's gaining support where as Portsmouth paper thinks it's losing support :)

Of course she doesn't. There was about 11 sides in relegation battle at same stage last season. Only 4 this as Southend and Bolton gone.

probably a lot down to their wage bill also - a lot of big contracts there. Pitman alone nearly 1m per year.

Nearly all these extended play-off options do seem to see us go automatically anyway, don't they?
