Yep, 45% players tax, 2% players NIC and 13.8% club NIC.
The government is losing a lot of money with a 30% pay cut across the league.
No where would you even get that?
I didn't say that, i said the first phase was almost finished and the team in first (top1 ) was mathematically decided.
I am not ignorant of the format employed in Belgium either, i referenced it twice in my last post that you replied to.

There might well be something like that in the contract but who knows what it stipulates if it does exist.
For example it could be in the event of the season not being completed because of X,Y, or Z then the PL forfeits 40-50% of the money owed from broadcasters for that season or something similar. Which would explain why the PL will want to hang on as long as possible to try to play this season out.
I agree with this GB - just great!
More media publishing the push for Liverpoo.
I don't buy the £700 MIllion thing. What exactly are they supposed to do if it's simply not safe enough to play in the UK?
I enjoy your WUMs but that's pretty vile, especially since literally not one of us has suggested that. Really wish you wouldn't say things that are clearly untrue when it's about things as serious as life and deathEvery single Liverpool fan in this thread is adamant about finishing the current season at the expense of everything else (including human life by the looks it) while the rest of the sane world couldn't care less.
It speaks volumes for their fanbase, doesn't it
I think it's been implied.I enjoy your WUMs but that's pretty vile, especially since literally not one of us has suggested that. Really wish you wouldn't say things that are clearly untrue when it's about things as serious as life and death
Big if in a situation like this, asking for a refund on the cancelled games would be fair enough. But would they really use a global pandemic where thousands of people are dying as an excuse to try to demand a full refund for all the games?
Unlikely in my opinion, it would be very bad PR for the broadcasters. I also assume they would like to continue their mutually beneficial business relationships with the PL. The most likely scenario would be them and the PL coming to a financial agreement if/when the season gets voided.
Yeah I don't see the full value be refunded when we have had 75% of season complete. Premier League should also threaten the broadcasters of going their own route with a streaming service.
Continuing the league even if it puts lives and general health of society in danger? Doubt it, but happy to stand corrected. Even then though, I don’t wanna be put in the same category as someone who has implied that.
Trump held a conference call with all the directors of the big sports in America and says he hopes to have fans back in stadiums by August and September. Might serve as a guideline for UK sports.
There's no way this season won't be played out, we're 25 million points clear of everyone else, we've won it already in effect.
There's too much money to lose.
The "integrity" of the league will be blown
Why would you play next season instead of finishing this one?

Ok..just got bored of the same stuff, and summarised what any Liverpool fan has said and will say for the last/next 100 pages.

I wouldn't take any notice of what Trump says. Only a week ago he was talking about getting big sections of the US back to work by Easter. That seems to have fallen by the wayside.
I don’t think it’ll be safe to start the NFL with fans in attendance early September. What Trump hopes and what’s realistic are probably two things very far off of each other at the moment...

Yeah, says you.
@Megadrive Man would eat Stevie G's crusty clingons if it meant Liverpool claiming the league title this year. Or so it has been alleged.
In fairness I don't think anyone has even implied that either.
Update from Germany: Bayern Munich will return to the training pitch in groups of four/five on Monday. Other German teams (Dortmund for example) have been back training since last Monday.
It's an unnecessary risk, surely.
There will be a veritable shitstorm if just one of those players contracts the virus.
That's good news, hope it doesn't backfire.
It's also sadly irrelevant to England.
This is certainly true. The Bundesliga wants to continue in early May. That doesn't look remotely possible in England at the moment.
To sober up a bit, even if some players got infected - despite of all being tested on beforehand - , the chance for young, healthy people to die from it, would match the risk of dying in the traffic on their way there. Let´s not exaggerate either.Every single Liverpool fan in this thread is adamant about finishing the current season at the expense of everything else (including human life by the looks it) while the rest of the sane world couldn't care less.

I don't think you get this whole virus thing
The point is they could pass the virus on to one or more people who are vulnerable to its effects, resulting in multiple deaths. Don't tell me I'm exaggerating when that very scenario is happening all across the world as we speak.
It's amazing at this point people still don't get how this virus works, do some on here literally never watch the news? I bet there's more clued up children than some posting in this thread.
Just void the season and gift Liverpool 80% of the trophy already for the games played. They'll top up the rest themselves.
Yes, I absolutely do. I would of course not vote for the league to start up again this, or next month. But to say that football can only be played when there is absolutely no risk involved - for a start, I would never send a group of youngster with a plain to Astana.
Look, I´m not trying to downplay this crisis, and since early days, I´ve been slamming a lot of people on different forums for not taking this seriously enough. But as some point, we need to start living again, and I absolutely see a chance that the season could be ended with a lot of games - perhaps in June - if we do all we can to minimise the risk of contributing to further spread of the virus. At some points, we would have to send out kids to school again, still with the virus around - and still with a risk of getting sick. I know this if probably not the moment to discuss these things, but lets come back to it in a couple of months. Being isolated behind closed doors also has a price, and come June, the mass psychology may have a changed a bit.
I'm a fussy eater, so might have to draw the line at that!
Not a chance! That's one slippery bugger.
Won't be much effort on your side though, it will just slip right in.
Its an option but i doubt they will need to. Sky and BT's business model for selling their subscriptions relies heavily on PL football being a feature they can offer. Theres no way in my opinion they are going to rock that boat by demanding a full refund for missing out on 25% of the games.
A streaming service should replace Sky & BT anyway imo. DAZN has already replaced the major sports channels for football in Canada. It’s the equivalent of about £13 a month for every Premier League, Champions League, Europa League & League Cup game plus more, and other sports on top of that.
Plus would it be the full amount? Or is the 9 games left from each game worth that much? Thought it was 1 billion a season or something. Someone gave the math earlier in this thread that its something like 11million per club.
Amen to that, more competition the better.
Sandra is more clued up that a lot of people in this thread. It amazes me how a collective of Liverpool fans who have presumably never met can all be so tone deaf and ignorant of the situation. One can only presume they take on this identity from the club itself.
That 760 million number is absolute gibberish the media wants us to believe at the moment.
The 760 million number is a scaremongering tactic employed by TV channels and the money-hungry Premier League to justify furloughing staff, availing government benefits, and eventually push for behind-closed-door football despite the terrible health risks associated with it.
Beware.

The way this will pan out in my view.
Wait until mid to late May, Premier League finally realise BHCD or restart etc, playing this season next season etc all not happening. Season null and void.
Deal with SKY and BT that they can show 25% more live matches next season, probably including some 3.00pm kick offs and probably more matches spread out over the week.
They get more revenue, everyone's happy. Clubs take a hit from reduced attendances, but better than bust.
