How can they set a deadline until we even have a date and schedule for the Championship to resume & conclude. Surely we need that first before a vote can realistically be taken.
No your original point was that any club can go under at any time due to unsound finances, mine was that forcing some clubs to play in these extenuating circumstances could cause one or more to go under.
You've just turned it into a DMAC love in again for some reason.
That's how ridiculous it is. Bristol Rovers are in 14th place and 14 points from the playoff positions.
It is becoming a nonsense.
Hardly, he just happens to have been trying to get football back on for months. His motives are obviously self interest but the actual objective is correct
The actual objective isn't feasible without funding and currently, there isn't any funding available.
Just cause he's been trying to do it for months doesn't mean its the right thing to do. In fact it speaks louder thatches been trying to do it for months and he's still no close to achieving his aim.Hardly, he just happens to have been trying to get football back on for months.

Its the rabble of a single minded man with nothing to loseWatch his pitch in full
That wasn't what I said was it. The fact he's been going on about it for months and got no closer to sorting anything tells you all you need to knowIt wasn’t right to even try and suggest ways of getting the funding in place?

no matter the cost to his fellow member clubs.More a football club owner trying to get football played
bizzareHe runs Peterborough not the mafia

Is that you Darragh?
bizzare
you lost me at mafiaNot really he’s one bloke who was trying to do what the EFL has ignored for months
Watch his pitch in full
I'm sure he was, and I can't knock his effort. If his plans had any credence to them though they would have been put in motion.Kiss me I’m Irish
In all seriousness he was proposing this 2 months ago and was coming up with ways of meeting the funding shortfall.
If you mean the one at the start of the mess then I've watched it. He makes some good points - not all of which I necessarily agreed with but they were sound points all the same.
But like I said, who's at fault here. Rick Parry has been in contact regularly with Sky due to the ongoing battle regarding iFollow and his request for the terms of the contact to be changed so that games could be streamed on a Saturday - which currently breaches the contract between Sky and the FL. I think this request was denied unless the FL were willing to reimburse Sky.
As he's in conversation with them already I'd hope conversations regarding solidarity payments would've at least taken place. The EFL have been shown to be incompetent, that's not up for debate. But as I've said from the very start his proposal relies on Sky being flexible when they're the ones in a strong negotiating position - which is hardly comforting.
I'm sure he was, and I can't knock his effort. If his plans had any credence to them though they would have been put in motion.
Just cause he's told talksport he has a plan doesn't mean it works and certainly doesn't mean it works for the other 22 teams in the league
Cynic! :joyful:Nice to see Barry thinks we should be promoted - nothing to do with a payment clause with Godden I’m sure
Never said he had all the answers. But he was visibly trying to find ways of getting it to work.
Other than him keep saying he wants the games played has he made any practical proposal as to how that would actually happen or who would cover the costs? We don't even have a return date for the Prem with all the money involved there!
We've been told by the EFL it would take a minimum of 56 days to complete the games and several managers have said a minimum of 2 weeks for a pre-season. With player contracts expiring 30 June that would mean the latest players could return to training to get the season finished would be 21 April, does anyone see a problem there?
Showing Saturday afternoon games is down to UEFA and they have already suspended the restriction to allow games to be shown, hence the 2:30pm kick offs in the Bundesliga being on BT Sport this weekend.But like I said, who's at fault here.

The games wouldn't be in any contract as they wouldn't have been allowed to show them. L1 will be a non issue. If football does get played it will be behind closed doors so Sky, BT, Amazon and anyone else prepared to cover the cost of showing games will get as many as they like to ensure every game is being broadcast. With the Prem alone, let alone the Championship, that will give enough games for pretty much wall to wall coverage. Top 2 divisions playing twice a week is enough matches for 6 live games a day!What about the contract that's in place? Does that suspension on the restriction override it's terms then?
