The reality is that footballers (not staff) are all young, do not have underlying health conditions (the ones affected) and are not obese. Thus the 3 main causes of needing hospitalization are not there. Even if they all get Covid, they’d likely (I know,not definitely), be fine. We will all likely get it. Why not expose the healthy and fit?

Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing! "The most arrogant, obnoxious bunch of deluded little sun tanned, loafer wearing mummy's boys I've ever had the misfortune of having to listen to" (Burnley forum) |

Parish is in the enviable position of having voting rights on something that is going to have very little effect on Palace's season. The legalities are the priority, in order to avoid legal action by Uefa, Sky and other sponsors or involved parties.

Just had a quick read of the Charlton fan site I was interested in a view from the lower leagues. One poster claims that 1400 players will be out of contract at the end of June. Many of those players will be desperate to re-sign however the lucky few will know that clubs will be lining up to sign them. Of course this is true for every season however if the League doesn't re-start until June and you are a player in demand would you want to risk getting injured when you are days always from your contract expiring? As to completing the season, promotion and relegation the feeling seems to be that what ever the PL decides will get replicated across the EFL they feel pretty powerless about this.

Apparently the bottom 6 who are asking for the season to be abandoned have no objection to playing on if relegation will not apply. What would be the point ? If, somehow they can get 1 more club to agree with them that will wreck the Project Restart plans. They will be happy but 13 other clubs will be furious Everyone then loses. The only way out is then to bribe the eventual bottom 3 with a substantial relegation bonus...totally deplorable not to mention unethical.

The myriad of possible outcomes is bewildering. Some clubs are going to get upset, whatever happens. Non-league clubs who have seen no promotion or relegation this season, still have pending legal challenges to the decision and the process which produced the outcome.

Also these clubs (with no fear of relegation) could unduly impact league position at the top of the table If, somehow they can get 1 more club to agree with them that will wreck the Project Restart plans. They will be happy but 13 other clubs will be furious Everyone then loses. The only way out is then to bribe the eventual bottom 3 with a substantial relegation bonus...totally deplorable not to mention unethical.
