If we’re going for neutral venues then move all the games to St George’s Park, there’s already a hotel there and medical facilities, bring in enough temporary accommodation for all the teams and crack on. Personally the game is so far removed from what it should be for me and How the rest of the season was played, if they have to complete the season then Get it over and done with.

No crowds, no gate money, No crowds, awful TV experience, no money. Football as a global cash cow has gone, hopefully it will go back to the working man’s game….Pagan

Transfer strategy – go with what we’ve got, if today’s TV showing is the barometer then the magic money pot has lost its magic, save the money as it may be worth more in a couple of seasons, then again we may need it to survive…..Pagan

Well done to the Germans and BT Sport over here, they’ve just shown why footy is a spectator sport, without them it’s dire. Prior to the current situation I used to watch loads of sport, mainly footy and cricket, and the majority of it at grass roots level, but it was sport in the flesh. Even a match on the local park with 20 or 30 people watching was better than watching footy on the telly in the good old days, but if what was on the box today is a sign of things to come then I’m afraid the game as we know it is in serious trouble……Pagan

From the BBC, particularly like the bit about finances from the resumption to support the wider football family, from a culture of greed is god

“The government is “opening the door” for the return of professional football in England in June, the culture secretary has said.

Oliver Dowden said Thursday’s meeting with the Football Association, Premier League and English Football League was “positive” and “progressed plans” for the sport to resume.

He added that plans should “include widening access for fans to view live coverage and ensure finances from the game’s resumption supports the wider football family”.

Adlab, easy, zonal marking, defenders stand 3.5m apart, forwards cannot then move into the space without breaking social distancing rules…..Pagan

67, controlled exposure is what we’re currently practising, the restrictions on everyday life will ebb and flow to keep the infection rate at a manageable level until the vast majority of the population have developed immunity…….Pagan

We can beat around the bush talking about what should happen with footy and sport in general, but we’re a million miles from returning to normality, deaths in the UK are about 50k above the expected average, we need either a cure or a vaccine, we have no cure at the moment, we may never get a vaccine, SARS was a coronavirus, that was 13-14 years ago and there’s still no vaccine for it, so that only leaves the one option, controlled exposure to the virus with the hope it brings in herd immunity….Pagan

9, sporting merit, interesting term, as far as I understand it it’s an opinion of who deserves what, how you come to that decision is where the arguments start…..Pagan

The FA & PL want the government to prohibit sporting competitions until it is unpractical to complete the current season without affecting the next season, that way they are blameless and cannot be sued. The league cannot be voided as then it as if it didn’t happen and there will be no qualifiers for the European places, they can abandon it which will mean positions can be awarded where the committee decides, whether that’s winners and relegation or no winners and no relegation is up in the air…..Pagan

And here’s the reason why they want to get the games back on

In addition to this I’ve read elsewhere that the broadcasters would be demanding their cash back if there’s no relegations as basically the matches would be “friendlies”….Pagan

9, it’s almost as if the PL are pushing on in the hope that the government will put the brakes on for them, that way it’s not their fault that the season doesn’t get finished and they can tell the broadcasters and sponsors they tried their best and it’s out of their hands, in effect shifting the blame and liabilities…..Pagan

Well another week has flown by, decided to let the other half do all shopping from now on, can’t be doing with queuing up to get in, so I just add to her shopping list.

So how’s everyone else’s week been?

I’m not sure UEFA, The FA and The Premier League have totally grasped the situation, either that our they have a distorted and self important view of the status of football in peoples lives.

For those fans that went home and away every game, yes it’s a big void in their lives, but in perspective, health, family, a home, job etc come way above footy, and to be honest for me it’s way below having to queue up to get in a shop or not being able to go out with the family for a beer or a meal…..Pagan

Abandon the season, no winners, no losers, teams in the European spots get them on merit, prem trophy to have NHS engraved on it for the 2019-2020 season.

Have a concerted effort to come up with how to get the next season started with plan A to Z depending on what happens globally and stick to it.

Not everyone will be happy, but life’s like that, but at least we’ll know where we stand….Pagan
