The damage caused by just one fatality connected to football will be worse. Football pales into insignificance when up against human life.

How many fatalities do you think the Madrid/Liverpool game has cost?

You seem to be underestimating the greed of football clubs and the Premier League.

It’s probably caused plenty, but to repeat the mistake would be beyond stupid.. no amount of money will change that imo

When do YOU think football should return?

when its safe too and doesnt put peoples lifes at risk, right?

Then it’s up to players if they want to put themselves at risk and expose their families to it too. At the end of the day when you strip back all the surrounding vulgarity football is only a game.

Yeah its not up to the players.

Not unless they wanna hand back the millions they have been paid.
 

It would take unprecedented steps to even get 1 game to go ahead behind closed doors anytime soon. You’re talking placing the whole squad in isolation somewhere for a period of time, everyone else involved would have to be in the same place ... all the staff who work in any hotel used would have to be quarantined.... it’s a massive ask
And at some point it is going to be necessary.

Or at least some of it will. I think it's reasonable to expect some things will be back to normal by August or September. At that point it might be enough just to keep testing players regularly and keeping staff limited. I think that's a key part. I know teams are used to having hundreds of people working on all sorts of stuff but it might have to get a bit old fashioned for awhile.

But this can and in my opinion will be done.

You might be right, you might be wrong.

End of the day, without full stadiums, (with a nod to @PaulPowersTash ) top flight football is pointless.

The dice football that Talksport do every weekend is more entertaining.

I get why you feel that way. But it does have a point. Because the contracts don't say they have to have fans and for these clubs to continue operating they need a game that the TV broadcasters can put on. Fans or not they get paid, and yes there is some greed to that, but there is also survival. Businesses all over are going to do what they can just to make it to 2021.
