I don't understand why the EFL and FA are still dragging their feet. The season must end now, with enough games played to determine promotion and playoffs. Either make it PPG ratio or leave as is. No relegation but teams who started the season like Bolton while not relegated will start the new...

Late to the party there Grendel....not like you

Micky Adam's couldn't keep it out could he? How times change.

If you take the squad of first team players and extrapulate the first team, then if we assume their average wage is more than likely £1500/2000 a week. Players like Godden and others at the higher end of that. That is 8k a month. Government furlough scheme pays just 80% of wages up to a limit of...

You kidding? It's per month not week!

I have said it over and over. The season should be ended with a fair system to determine the final standings. Then everyone can get on with preparation for next season. Trying to complete a season of just 9 games is fraught with logistical problems galore if there is no full return to normality...

I'm sorry but this is utter rubbish.

RIP. Thank you for your service.

Don't be an idiot.

I did say Grenel "it seems" and tbh only one team is holding up the decision. Will it be a precedent? Otis it sounds all plausable until you realise he is denying immediate funding for lower league clubs who are desperate for money to survive and the logistics of what he proposes really are...

Still don't think we will start up again. Scotland is going to finish 'as is' and use average point formula for final standings it seems. Parry's ideas are just nonsense and the waiting around is killing lower league clubs off for good. Take the millions being offered now from those higher up...

It's the same for everyone but for sides who had plenty of injuries in their squads they will be stronger for it whereas we had no particular injuries to contend with when this all started. So the theory is we face sides stronger than they would have been. But I am confident we have more than...

I think over time standards do increase. Who would have thought Carl Lewis would have been eclipsed much later by Usain Bolt? Football is perhaps a little different as there were exceptions around in the game with the likes of George Best and one or two others, but on the whole todays standard...

Watching a 1980's video of MOTD with Jimmy at the helm and former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson. Forgot how the format was, but they have just 3 games all with much longer highlights and pick one game from each league. Nowadays it's just the premier league and only about 3 or 4 minutes of...

What I question is the rules of the scheme which allows you to claim the government scheme up to 2500/month while voluntarily adding a further 20% to complete the 'normal' full wage, which would cover mostordinary people. But the question is are you allowed to claim the government schme of...

My point is 2500 per month set against a players average salary of 8000 per month leaves the club making up a lot of gap? If the club makes up the other 5,500 then plaudits to them. But I question if this is so?

Yeah not clear is it becuase the scheme has a cap.

Can someone make head or tail of this please? OSB once again to the rescue? League one players average is 2k a week. Roughly 100k a year or 8k a month. The job retention scheme cap is 2500/month. That's well short if you are on 8k a month? So unless our players are on less than 600 quid a week...

The term is common in the US and in the UK is generally referred to as 'laid off'. However the reason behind 'furlough' is because laid off can mean temporary, but can become permanent. Whereas furloughed means the workers status can not change and furlough means the worker is returning to...
