Wuhan is just opening back up after a complete & total lock down, that took what all up 3 months ? - most countries are in this for much longer.
Null and void is looking very unlikely now. Most leagues will be played out to a finish whenever it’s safe to start up again.
ThisWe will be lucky to see football in 2020
The football world has shown itself to be completely detached from the real world during this crisis.
Even if the number of deaths dropped off in a few weeks time, all it would take is a slight resurgence to bring the game to a halt were it ever to restart.
Just one team or even one player infected by the virus would make it very difficult to continue.
Putting players health at risk due to pressure from Sky and BT. That's all it is.
Shameful to be honest.
The players could just refuse to play behind closed doors like the Scottish Players have done and they would be well within their rights. If it's not safe for fans to be at the stadium how can it be safe for the players?
the guy on the news conference just said if we get away with 20000 deaths we will be doing well.Footie will be back soon - the death toll is shaping up to be much lower than expected and schools will be back around May.
SPFL teams will lose around 100 players out of contract at the end of May - so restarting isn’t practical.
Fresh start in August seems about right.
Firstly, I just don't trust the Chinese when it comes to any info they give out regarding Covid, plus they now have folk flooding back into the place and there must be an increased chance of the virus being reintroduced.Interested why some people think that we will still be under lockdown in three months time when China are already relaxing restrictions and Wuhan, the epicentre of the virus is going to open travel in and out (currently just in) on april the 8th.
100% this.The football authorities will have to swallow a dose of realism sooner or later. Better for everyone if it is sooner (i.e. now).
3 months my arse. This has been going on over there since at least NovemberWuhan is just opening back up after a complete & total lock down, that took what all up 3 months ? - most countries are in this for much longer.

Puts you off the game mateWhen they're converting buildings into hospitals, buying 10,000 ventilators and turning part of Birmingham airport into a mortuary. Also saying if we keep the death toll to under 20,000 then it's because we've listened and stayed at home, but people in charge of football put money before lives, it shows how crass those in charge really are.
I'd like to think most of us will be back working by July mate ffs!
You should consider the possibility that it may not be that way

And they won’tIndeed, but my opinion is that people won't sit in their houses until July, they are cracking up in southern Italy already.

Starting in July, they plan to have the season played to a finish over 4-6 weeks.
What price our mob to do the same?
Apologies if posted already.
Once the sun comes out there's no way our country stays in doors.
AgreeHope it happens so we know this shite is behind us but it’s pie in the sky.

indeed, I was talking about this to my other half this morning, if we are faced with crackin weather at the end of May, beginning of June, folk will start to go out again, not a chance will we remain on lockdown, especially if we have already been behind closed doors for acouple of months.
I hope you don't bet.Footie will be back soon - the death toll is shaping up to be much lower than expected and schools will be back around May.

Theres a name for someone as selfish as that but I’d get banned for calling you it.

So in theory then the season will be completed during the peak of Coronavirus in the U.K.
Aye ok.
Experts saying we could be in various levels of lockdown for 12 months buts it alright the fitba will continue in July
I’m talking about folk in general, not myself.
Where do you see the facts for your statement. We are about 2 or 3 weeks away from the peak. The lock down might last a further 3 weeks after this lock down. Social distancing could go on until September.Footie will be back soon - the death toll is shaping up to be much lower than expected and schools will be back around May.
