EFL Season suspended indefinitely

[Liviger1984]

Headline on sky sports news the now.

 

[Grumpyoldman1950]

Only sensible option.

 

[skyelander]

Cannot see how there is any other option. This season is gone.

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Interesting with players being out of contract etc come 1st June.
I honestly think they have to bite the bullet and scrape this season and look towards a shorter 20/21 season.
If thay also means no european football next season so be it.
The appetite for football is waining every day with people dying and losing jobs etc

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Paedo fc and their mhedia enablers will be furious.

 

[Kirbys House]

Seem to have made some decent progress today

But But But the Sellick are a special case

 

[SOB-WATP]

It was always going to happen.

Delaying it until June was delusional.

 

[KensitasClub]

Sensible decision.

 

[Jim Lahey]

Right call to do

Is it no the women’s one

Yes it’s the women’s one , the men’s one is to be finished when safe to do so . Am sure that’s what it said anyway .

They are included i think mate.

Daily record Celtic PR team will be furious that sporting integrity prevails above gifting teams leagues and champion league places.

 

[Duffy1983]

And there it is. Matt Hancock should have kept his trap shut publicly and concentrated in his own role in the “government response“ fiasco

 

[Niptrueblue]

Great gesture from the players, would imagine it was something they were planning anyway before Hancock spoke.

Just looked they have acknowledged the findings of the EFL that has just been released under the old news regards Belgium. What are they like!! ;-)

Paedo fc and their mhedia enablers will be furious.

They’ll just ignore it and go for another tainted.

They are the shíte on the sole of humanity’s shoe.

 

[Grumpyoldman1950]

The tims only ever think of themselves

 

[Smiles]

Hardly a difficult decision to make in the circumstances. But I doubt we’ll see a similar statement from the idiots running our game

 

[Baz]

It sounds a decent gesture at first but then you read £20m for NHS and £125m for EFL.
It seems their priorities are back to front.

 

[Blue Lou Boyle]

The only way forward is to declare it null and void and start 20/21 season in the late summer autumn.

Id be gutted if i was a liverpool fan however finishing this season just isnt going to be possible.

Football has pumped an absolute fortune into every area of society for decades.

Hancock was asked a direct question during a live briefing and gave an honest answer.

The players have yet to agree to a 30% cut the PL are only discussing it with them.

That’s were it is at the moment.

 

[southsidebluenose]

Good PR move if the wage cut comes to fruition and sensible decision about the football season

 

[Duffy1983]

Ahh. 100,000 tests by the end of the month I seen that - very honest.
I understand the government have enough to deal with wading through some false scientific advice they have been given. It is just my opinion, he will be media trained & he could have diverted the direct question easily - it’s not his remit as the health secretary to pass comments from his podium on it when clearly behind the scenes Clubs are working with players to put together a package to contribute to the NHS. I thought it was inappropriate at that point myself.

And I think he is a dick, with his “shout outs“. It was all a bit crass, yes take the opportunity to thank people - but his manner in doing it would have been quite comical if not for the severity of the situation.

Well, to be fair, this is true.
