Cancelling this season's Premier League

[H.H.]

Surely the sensible decision is to take a vote from randomly selected clubs across all leagues. 14 clubs seems about right.

My memory may be wrong but I think it was only them who had to serve a 5 year ban and that for that first season it was only Spurs Everton and whoever else who qualified who missed out cos we served a one year ban?

Im not saying I believe they are trying tp gain the moral high ground, im saying what the statement says makes sense.

If players take a pay cut, the owners save money and less tax is paid. Liverpool have just furloughed all their non paying staff so if their players take a 30% cut, who gains?
No the furloughed staff as they are not being paid bt the club, not the Government as the taxes have decreased. The only people who benwfit from a wage reduction is owners.

Now the players may need to take a reduction to offset losses from match day revenue or tv rights etc but the 30% reduction has nothing to do with helping the NHS make more money.

They would be better making a statement stating that they want the full pay but will donate X amount of money per month across the PL. Thats divided between money to NHS and staff of lower league clubs

The owners will be taking a massive loss as well

English clubs were all banned for 5 years. RS served an extra year.

Then bounced back in as though nothing had happened.

Manchester City confirm they do not intend to furlough non-playing staff

Club stresses that “we remain determined to protect our people, their jobs and our business”

City have officially announced that they will not be furloughing any staff. Have that Livarpool!

But nothing did happen, wasnt there fault remember

Yep. Unfortunately, this is why football has gone the way it has. Fans have enabled the behaviour.

Would be great if fans boycotted the first games back in protest (excluding any that might take place behind closed doors), but that's never going to happen. At the very least, it would be good if all fans collectively boo the teams as they come out.

its very simple.

away fans should not buy tickets at any of the grounds where they have furloughed the staff.

Yes I recall our 87-88 European cup run well.

They were supposed to serve an extra 2 years but appealed to get it down to one.

No shame.
