Project restart discussion.

[Billy Dean]

The Bundesliga, Germany's top football competition, is preparing to return to the pitch in less than two weeks — pending a green light from the German government.

If it does get approval, it will be the first top-flight football competition in the world to return from an enforced break due to coronavirus, and will become a test case for how other leagues approach a return to competition.

"We're like the guinea pigs at the moment," Brandon Borrello, an Australian who plays right wing for SC Freiburg, told the ABC.

"But it's a really hard situation to be in — obviously it's never happened before.

"If it works well, I mean, there should be no reason for other leagues not to follow in the future."

There is utterly no chance of the bundesliga restarting in Saturday week.

Like all these sports journalists can write articles about hypothetical restart dates every hour of every day, but it changes nothing.

It was a player who said the 9th May start date.

I've read it from various sources

I actually cant listen to sky or sports journalism at the minute. I know they need to fill time and pages but the repetitive drivel about restart in X number of days is just proper weird

Buried on Sky Sports, but here's the FIFA medical head honcho describing exactly why a June restart is pure lunacy.

Coronavirus: FIFA medical chief Michel D'Hooghe says football should wait until September

DHooghe also feels changes will have to be made to rules and regulations whenever football returns, including yellow cards for spitting

FIFA Medical chairman:

"Football can only be possible if contact is possible again. Football remains a contact sport and avoiding contact is one of the first things everyone says is that you should avoid contact.

"It's still about social distancing. Testing is an important point but you have to repeat them. If one of the players becomes positive, you have to put the whole group into quarantine. Is that a solution for a normal competition?“


That’s the crux of it right there.

Imagine all that planning then this happens. Just shut it down ffs

7 teams looking at possible relegation so I hope Ligue 1 have some très bon lawyers.

They've started to relax the lockdown and already their infection rates are rising. This is pure folly, end it now and plan for next season starting August or september

 

[ParisToffee]

Thats all presuming they get response back from Sports Minister to play 1 match in August behind closed doors which goes against what French Prime Minister said today ;-) Goes on about the cash for TV that clubs need and although Toulouse and Amiens are apart from others, 10 matches is 30 points that could keep them up if Nimes and the other above lost all their games !
Will be a week or two before all this is decided as before today they had said the table on March 13th was deciding factor
