Project restart discussion.

[PITA]

Why on Earth would you force clubs to finish the season if there's no point to it?

To make sure that the RS get their trophy.

Next question please.

 

[PITA]

I have just read on the BBC website that the teams at the bottom of the league have said that they will play if they are guaranteed not to be relegated.
This just keeps geting more and more bizarre as each day passes. Just what on earth would the point be in that? So apart from the
CL league placings every single game will in effect will be a dead rubber. Where is 'the integrity of the league' in that idea - teams simply playing each other for the sake of playing each other? If this goes ahead then football is well and truly done.

Everyone that has got no reason to fight for points will just play their reserves. Why risk the first team players?

This isnt about necessity, it's about saving people getting ill or dying.

Either it's safe to do so or it isnt.

Kids should be the last thing we take a chance on. Which is why Ireland have announced no school until September.

Digging yourselves in a massive hole here boys. This argument is done

If the figures are low enough Boris is expected to say they can be back in school in a few weeks.

So what your saying is, we can risk the kids, but not footballers.

I'll jump in here. But schools will return before footballers do. Firstly you can socially distance with schools. Secondly schools returning is far more essential to the economy than a sport coming back. Finally we need children to be learning.

Kids need to learn, and a sportsman right to play sport are not equals.

Are you suggesting that children being educated means more that the RS getting a tin pot?

Gary Neville made a great point about the communication from the League and their responsibility over this because the media is fueling this season with some of the most pathetic suggestions but no factual or verified information.

They talk about the "Integrity Of The Game" over the past 6 weeks, they have used every media outlets to pump out the same message while a pandemic influenza is killing thousands.

Now while a nation has been locked down trying to stop the spread of this virus which has effectively changed everything due to how serious it is, the Premiership are knocking up any idea to play the few games.

It's honestly sad that our club is sat in these meetings saying nothing of note as representative of its fanbase or interacting with it fans. It might come across as bitter but honestly if Everton are just nodding away to every single suggestion it kinda makes me think that this is as far as I can go with them if it's just money now.

If no relagation then award everyone a premier league title, everyone wins.

I know one club that would say their participation trophy means more.

Premier League: More clubs open to using neutral venues if relegation removed

A growing number of Premier League clubs are open to playing the remaining fixtures at neutral venues but with the threat of relegation removed.

www.bbc.co.uk

Hilarious. If so, then what is the actual point of bothering to play out the remaining quarter of the season?

Simply:

A) Money from broadcasters (pure greed), and
B) Forcing the season to some kind of conclusion just so Liverpool can “win” the league

Integrity would be right out of the window. Utter utter shambles if this goes ahead.

The BBC once again running with a story that helps their agenda to insure Liverpool win the league....spitting in the face of the NHS, and giving zero fks about the people currently dying, in the process .... Amazing attitude...

How desperate would they be to see the football completed if Man city or Leicester had been leading?....i think we'd be seeing a lot of "at times like this Football isn't important"...

The BBC have been a joke over this.
As for Sky, if anyone on here hasn't paused their sports package yet, please make sure you do.

I am now 100% convinced that they will restart the league for long enough for Liverpool to 'secure' the title only to then backtrack and 'cancel' the season after two games and announce no relegation, places stay as they are, Liverpool officially champions.

 

[anjelikaferrett]

Talking of players - have the clubs/FA considered what they think of risking their life/long term health ?
I'm sure there's plenty who won't be happy being treated like fodder so SKY, BT and the premier league can cut their losses.
Even myself I'm dreading the eventual call back after furlough knowing just - impossible to implement social distancing stands between me and a deadly virus.

Section 44 Employment Rights Act 1996. If you believe your workplace is unsafe is unsafe and you are in imminent danger then you can refuse to work. I'd be quoting that at any employer trying to force people back to work. Ash for risk assessments, do they need full staff in etc.

Anyway on topic. This is all about money. Aguero has come out and said he's scared and nervous about re-starting. All it will take is one person to become ill and die then you're looking at corporate manslaughter charges. I read somewhere they will need thousands of tests to see this through. Morally wrong on every level. This sums my thoughts up today

What fixtures would they be?
