Potential cancellation of games - Coronavirus

[JokerJ]

I've been off work for 2 weeks, starting to wonder if I might get an extended holiday the way it's looking.

If this was everton, this would be the most everton thing ever.

If this was everton, this would be the most everton thing ever.

They would all be signing petitions and emailing the Premier League to call it off too.

Seems like a stocking plaster to me. In a few weeks this won’t have blown over, we’re still at the stage of only one manager and player testing positive, loss could be by the time they want to restart this in April. Will players train in the meantime? The window for games will just get more and more condensed too.

Most likely scenario is they'll suspend for a few weeks, things'll get worse and then they'll either suspend for a bit longer or cancel.

If no-one in a club has symptoms, then they may as well train, but again, the chances are that every club will soon have someone with symptoms, so they'll lockdown as and when that happens.

Players are young, fit and healthy, so they'll almost certainly be fine, but clubs with older coaches would do well to keep them away from training.

Dr Hilary on tv just said he thought probably 100,000 people have it now, based on how it spread in other countries. We just don't know yet we already have it..........

That’s 0.15% of the UK.

To repeat

My office has been shut today, madness.

To repeat

Exponential growth will see any projection of infected people increase significantly in the coming weeks.

Liverpool fan at work is losing it. Doesn't want to talk about football and just washed his hands twice and sanatised after.

Hands red raw

Just ask him if he's red or blue

I work for an American Inv Company here in Dublin. All been told to work from home from today . I can see all games been off for the next 2 or 3 weeks for start. I think it will get worse in the UK as they have been so slow to react

If the league has a break, I hope the club uses it as an opportunity to start talks over transfers, there's a possibility they could steal a march on some clubs in negotiations and get some deals all but tied up, as much as they can without doing anything face to face.

Imagine they did a behind closed doors play-off for relegation and because it’s still possible we could go down, we were involved in it. You just know we’d be the ones to get relegated.

Only Liverpool and City are mathematically safe at the moment lad, a 16 team playoff for relegation?

That's unfairly penalising Crystal Palace, you would think.

he over reacts at times, I think the Everton in all of us. Still thinks we come out sort of worse after all the postponement!

That's us blues. Always take a positive out of a negative.
