Club Statement: Coronavirus

[orly]

your a dog with a bone I’ve told you a million reasons in other posts. They’re throwing things around so just try and make people think they actually are looking at alternatives. Make no mistake it’s getting voided im certain.

even if it doesn’t but it will you can have your three quarters of a title and shove it we’re the sun don’t shine. Vermin disgrace of a football club. You wonder why everyone hates you.

As per @Connor

FIFA are set to confirm an indefinite extension to the current season with dates changes to the transfer window – as well as changes in contract expiry.

So, we'll be finishing the current season in about December.

So no, it isn't being voided.

I know this sounds horrible but there will come a point when governments start getting confident that the NHS capacity won’t be breached by the number of patients going forward and this will become like the seasonal flu in how it’s considered by people. Even if it rears it’s head again as long as the health service can deal with it it largely won’t make the news. People might not even know they have it in the future unless they become very ill from it. So further waves probably are probable but unless they overflow the health service like this one threatened to do so, I doubt we’ll see this kind of shutdown again.

That scenario will be under control if we have a vaccine. If not... A biologist here was quoted as saying it's a possibility that we won't find one.

You cannot even see the fact that I think this season will get voided and I have written that in numerous posts. What I have done is point out the challenges that come with void and suggested it isn't a simple fix that leads to no complications. From what I have seen of your posts, all I have seen is "Void, void, void" & or I'm certain it will be voided. No logic, no reason just shouting and patronising

Unless you have some inside track on the Government, Coronavirus and all football authorities, the reality is you are guessing like the rest of us & the fact that you have correlated a hotel room getting cancelled with the likely outcome of the PL, suggests you probably aren't leading National health or Sports discussions

I don’t need to form an argument. Your so desperate for it to carry on so say “we won the league”

Tory loving club - vomit

They say null and void hasn't been taken off the table, but, the chances of it happening are greatly reduced.

it hasn't been greatly reduced, IMHO it remains the same - but the decision on it pushed further down the road.

I do agree, just parroting what has been said already

This has affected everybody in the world. No one is escaping from this financially, or more importantly from a health point of view. You did defend the business decisions of LFC, THFC etc , there’s no getting away from that. They chose to make that decision. They didn’t have to make that decision. That’s an important distinction. I don’t have a business, I can’t decide to forfeit wages. I can decide to give to charities or help out people suffering. What I can’t decide on is how much tax I pay, after all this, to repay the money paid out to LFC and THFC staff whilst other non playing staff were still being paid £7m a year. You obviously think that’s a good business decision for those teams to make. I personally think it’s a short term selfish decision for them to make that has really put them in a bad light.(apart from in your eyes)

Once again I repeat I did not say that ,what I did say was that if all the other teams did it we would be at a disadvantage and should therefore do it .No where did I say I supported it or liked the practice .Please read what I type and not what you think I am thinking ,I chose my words carefully .I agree with your feelings 100% but a business is a business and cannot be left out alone if all the others do it .

I never expected the null and void conversations to be had in early April. That would be far too sensible, and forward thinking a business strategy for the powers that be. There still seems to be this misguided belief that we can just roll the league out after a week in June and complete all league and cup fixtures, while not impacting next season.

There also seems to be no understanding of how your solve the quite acute contractual difficulties we are going to face. I'd also say, there is a lot of legalism at play here. People and institutions behaving in a way that they know can be defensible in the future in a court of law, when they try to make out they didn't want the league to be voided. Essentially we have weak, cowardly leaders who are all unprepared to make a difficult and potentially unpopular decision.

That being said, the longer this goes on the closer we get to that point. It's fine FIFA making proclamations from on high that hold no legal weight, but it does;t resolve the question of who is paying for these contract extensions, and who is going to ensure lads who have better deals on the table don't follow them? There's some abstract talk of bringing back close shop and erasing 30 years of legislature that prevents this. It's very easy to say "Play it at any cost" it's a lot more difficult to say "and I will fund the process to allow it to be done".

Of course when the nitty gritty of what this means is put back to clubs, possibly clubs who are on the brink of financial difficulty (or even ruin) that they have to keep paying players even after the contracts have ended and they've budgeted for them to be gone, is when teams will have to start saying, this utter farce cannot be allowed to continue.
