FA and EFL to meet next week and we all will know what plan B will be. Can't wait,

Leeds will be shafted we all know what's coming cursed since the Revie days.

Think they will have to reward Liverpool with the PL title as they are so far in front. Then they will have to recognise front runners in championship for promotion. Then its deciding if anyone gets relegated, which i doubt, would cause a lot of problems. So then its working on how they would get the PL back to its normal quota of teams over the next one or two seasons. As i said over a week ago we will follow Germans idea which seems the fairest all round. Reckon all European teams will follow the same pattern.

If there's not enough weeks to complete the full Champ season, perhapwe and Baggies could be promoted with an extended play-off for the third place. If there's three usable weeks, there could be an innovative play-off taking in those within three points of the playoff spots. Baadiff and 'Wall are on 54 points and Blackburn and Swansea on 53. They could play each other, with winners playing again for the right to meet Brizzle (55 points) . The winner of that tie would play Preston, who currently occupy the final play-off spot. You could then have the play-off proper. I can hear a few thinking this will take as long as the remaining fixtures would. But the particularly innovative part could be that rather than playing ties home and away on different days, the clubs involved would be required to pick two matchday squads from first team and academy players, to play at the two grounds on the same day - except for the final, which would be at Wembley as usual. Playing the ties Tuesdays and Saturdays could get the whole thing done in three weeks. Potentially some tasty ties in there, including a South Wales derby, a Harris derby etc. And talking about derbies, it would have the additional attraction of pissing off the team formerly known as Frank Lampard's Derby, as they would be the highest placed team to miss out, being two points further back on 51 points.

As we all know it's all about what effects the premiership that matters, most likely senario is no relegation from prem this year but wouldn't surprise is no promotion or relegation from any of the other leagues down the football pyramid either.

Radz cheapskate foolish January 2019 transfer lack of recruitment last season looking even more foolish now.

15 Mar 2020 20:14:21
Say that again clueless!

I hope Leeds hierarchy follow Brighton’s lead and make sure they pay ALL Leeds United staff both permanent and casual. Anything short of that is inexcusable.

Just sell Augustin😉😉😉😉.

Dougie Can't sell what you don't own and the transfer window isn't open. Otherwise a sage suggestion.

It’s hard isn’t it in all seriousness how does this affect ffp?

15 Mar 2020 06:27:39
Well it will impact the revenue a club makes if the games do not go ahead.

15 Mar 2020 09:23:15
That’s a really could point that one, Bermo!

If it's true that you can't catch Corona virus twice and it's fatal to only the elderly and those with underlying health issues, then why not let all professional footballers catch it. They would be slightly ill, then better within a fortnight. They could then play matches behind closed doors and get the season finished. Sounds simple I know, but I can't think why this wouldn't work?

14 Mar 2020 09:19:45
It's not only the elderly who die. Just the highest percentage. Plus it's the fans, the staff at football grounds and thousands of others in the chain that would also be affected. It's not confirmed yet that you cannot get it twice.

14 Mar 2020 14:27:40
Alf. That's why I said play behind closed doors. You could also keep the players together for a couple of weeks. I just think if something like this isn't done, (not just in football but in the population in general) then this thing could go on, and on, and on.

14 Mar 2020 16:15:07
Danum, footballers are people mate, you can't purposely infect them with something that kills 3% of people who get it, just to complete a football season.

14 Mar 2020 19:50:47
Why, how many fit 18 to 35 year olds have died. Healthy people have a cough and a temperature for a couple of days.

14 Mar 2020 21:13:09
Just the ones at ode Trafford then?

15 Mar 2020 06:30:58
0.2% of people in that age bracket die.
