Project restart discussion.

Imagine the libel claims made against the premier league if someone linked to football unfortunately passes. Them, and them alone, will be accountable for corporate manslaughter

 

[Archie Knox]

If any competitions restart the fairest would be fa cup and champs league , can be done in neutral venues without much argument over fairness and there are fewer games to complete

But then the FA won't be able to award Liverpool their title?

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Yep germany in a much better place butb3 cologne players test positive already,

Not happening

This really should put this restart nonsense to bed.

Coronavirus: Cologne trio test positive, German club confirms

Three people at Cologne test positive for coronavirus, the German club has confirmed, although they say training will "continue as planned".

I'd love to be a solicitor involved with a pl club right now.
Guaranteed to make a fortune suing the fa/government etc if it's anything other than null and void.
Players that were unavailable for the original ties could now affect the outcome, which could lead to Europe/missing out, relegation etc.
Teams that lost away could argue the home tie could have swing their way etc based on previous years..
So much money at stake if they don't null and void and that's what really matters to these people

The media keep driving this farcical argument that the country is desperate for football to come back.

They couldn't be more wrong. Even a couple of my red mates are starting to say what's the point.

The money is surrounding all semblance of common sense and the public will not look back fondly.

This is where the broadcasters need to step up and make a clear offer on a sensible funding/payment solution so that the cramming in of these games isn't put down to the loss of this money. If Sky/BT said that they will pay an agreed amount of this year's money, our all of it, with the expectation of transmitting more games next season, we can cancel this year. Give the RS their pot, I care not. People are dying and resources and energy needs to be pressed into beating this retched virus.

I imagine the ten grounds would be the ten smallest grounds.

If games must be played behind closed doors, better they are played at the likes of Bournemouth, Burnley and Brighton than in the cavernous waste that would be Old Trafford or The Emirates with no spectators.

Brilliant irony there that the FA wants these small grounds to have a makeover fit for the premier league when the respective team, like Bournemouth, gets promoted and now they'll be looking up at these stadiums to help save their multi billion business

If you can show me how you can social distance during the taking of a corner, sound.
If you can show me social distancing when stood in a wall defending a free kick, sound.
If you can show me how not to get sweat on the ball when heading it sound.

Martinez was ahead of the curve

Forget that. I wouldn’t give them anything that they haven’t won.

When it gets cancelled, no titles or relegation issues should be decided anywhere other than on the pitch. Put a rule in, like France, for the future if need be but unfortunately such rules didn’t exist here this season and therefore, the only way they can win it is on the football pitch, in front of fans, playing 19 home and away games. Anything other than that isn’t a season.

Give them nothing.

I like the cgi fans idea, no I really do. As well as Gary neville's idea to play all games in a country not affected by covid.

I mean why not fly hundreds of footballers out on a thousand separate private jets every day to treasure Island once the pitch has been built.

Cgi fans, amazing, I mean the players won't feel weird playing in near silence anymore, so long as they fan see 50, 000 faces being silent, it'll change the whole atmosphere and only at a small electricity bill.

 

[helpimonfire]

I may be wrong
I do not believe any games will be played
I also believe that all this garbage about starting it again is just a front to ensure they can award the RS their cup
They are going to find a way to give them it and screw over other teams. So just give them it and play no games as lives matter more than football
