Talksport saying leagues one and two will be cancelled.
Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th
- Thread starter Tarrou
- Start date
Wonder what’ll happen to the clubs in those leagues. If (and that’s a big if) a new season can start as normal in August, it’ll probably be behind closed doors so no match day revenue will be received.
Could end up with a few clubs going under.
And would 95% of utd fans calling for the league to be null and void have the same view if it was they that were top of the league and 25 points clear? Absolutely not! And those that suggest others are merely deceiving themselves. I genuinely take what they say with a pinch of salt because they aren't being honest no matter how they try and dress it up with their posts by using health as an excuse to end the season.
You dont need tracking. Soon we all be lining to get welfare and will fill the form willingly for a few more bucks, forget where you live. We'd tell them about our bank account if that's what it takes to get our money
That is probably the reason. And it is nothing that comes really surprising. Better now than in some weeks. The schedule still has some buffering. But it rises the awareness of the players and the staff of other clubs, too. They have to take care in their own environment and life that they live as low risk as possible.
Weaponising the future to get what you want in the past; then you wonder why clubs will say no.
we've all learnt that the economy doesn't need work. what's next a national wage? £2500 per month? keep printing as the ship sinks
Let’s hope this is just an isolated incident and the local health authorities don’t interfere with football again.
Id say more than a few unless costs can be reduced and grants given
What people who "wants football resumed" also fails to consider is that their beloved players can catch corona, and it could potentially ruin their career, having a reduced lung capacity means that's it for professional athlete.
From the clubs point of view they're risking 500M worth of assets, and if one caught the virus and spreads it all it'll be a catastrophic financial lost.
Imagine if pogba gets sick and put into ventilator (slim chance, he's fit as a bull), if god forbid it happens it'll probably took more than a while for him to get back to top condition, if it's even possible with a reduced lung capacity.
Do we actually want to take that risk?

my turn to feel like a dick
Apologies
No worries mate, been there myself more than once.
Coronavirus:
Bundesliga 2 side Dynamo Dresden players test positive, return delayed
Dresden were due to play Hannover away on May 17;
entire squad, coaching and supervisory staff must go into 14 days of quarantine at home

That has been posted multiple times now.
Kinda expected, People are gonna be wetting themselves over it. A fair few on here want your (Germany) experiment to fail. Better brace yourself and start putting up your defences.
But members who are joining the thread now can see this news immediately.
To be fair, it is pretty significant news. But the league has already come out and said it won't affect the restart.
Sure it will affect no matter what leagues say. Dresden can’t play at least two first games. What league is doing is natural. Protecting their decision no matter what. It would be suicidal to say ”oh we were wrong to start this”. I’m afraid that there is a risk that it will be some fact fixing in future because you can’t have this thing coming out whole time. ”Injuried” players should be closly watched and there should be some independent doctors watching tests.
Anyone going to pay for BT Sport to watch Bundesliga? I’m tempted - FC Köln are my team - but I can’t really justify the cost.
Please provide evidence of players that have caught COVID having ruined careers due to reduced lung capacity? The scaremongering that has been going on for the past few months is pathetic!
There are very few cases of people in the age range 18-35 getting seriously ill from COVID In the general population and to state otherwise is wholly irresponsible.
I’m a healthcare professional btw
And it should be continually posted until delusional posters here accept that resuming football right now is an idiotic step to take.
You’re better off using a river . There’s no guarantee the season will be be finished in Germany .
It’s so irresponsible of the Premier League to be even talking of a restart right now, way too soon. Although I don’t think it’s fair in a sporting sense, I’m actually coming round to the idea of just giving Liverpool the title (with a big asterisk) now and then I’m pretty sure all the pressure to restart so soon would fall away and we can start having a sensible conversation about a future restart.
What has it to do with narcissism? Is there no other reason? Why not ask them, rather then accuse people of narcissism..This is the problem with lots of people. People are so used not to having conversations that actually matter, they come to conclusions that are not true (and yes, i'm aware that's a presumption). Your opinion, isn't fact. If people cannot see the truth in how they respond then that's something people need to address. There are lots of issues here. One is walking roughshod over peoples 'rights'.
On topic, they should cancel the season. We're now in May. People talking about is it fair? Yes we can say it's not fair but what do you weigh it against? Is being unfair heavier then the risk? Human life comes before entertainment. The people who panic are the money men and well they should but maybe in the long run, wages/prices were unhealthy and supporters but we have something to look forward to. There is no perfect solution, but human life is priority and maybe we learn to respect borders to avoid this happening in the future. Something will always offend someone but this topic could last until the end of time. The media are promoting another 'outbreak' so you could never really shake it off. They want their vaccines. So from a football perspective, this is an impossible situation

Again do you know that for a fact. Genetically we are different its not all social or economic. Diets are also different whether you have money or not.
Fact is there is no definitive evidence as to why those groups are dying more so stop making it up.
Hes not calling the virus racist. He is simply pointing out he and other minorities and their families may be at a higher risk
A Brighton player has tested positive
Crazy
Yet the Scousers want to plough ahead with resuming football ‘by hook or by crook’.
Have absolutely no shame, that lot.

They’re still kicking the can down the road because they want to keep up appearances.
European football isn’t happening next season, especially considering qualifiers begin in about 6 weeks.
The only real ramifications revolve around money, which to an extent I understand - but surely there’s a way to resolve that?
If TV money has already been paid & clubs can’t return it, give them the chance to sell assets over the summer transfer window to make up any deficits. If they still fail to do so, deduct a % from their payout for next season.
BT & Sky aren’t going bankrupt in the next 6 months, I’m sure they can take on that risk.
Next season is likely to be curtailed at some point - so if they get rid of the 3pm rule, and negotiate a temporary deal that allows sky & BT to have rights for more games (all games?) next season. Possibly paid out on a per-game basis, or negotiated to be paid based on amount of games played every half season.
These are extreme ideas that haven’t been thought out of course - but ultimately the penny needs to drop when it comes to this disease.
Things aren’t just going to return to ‘normal’ - there will be a difference in life pre-corona and post-corona. Sports isn’t exempt - long term changes will be made to alter how accustomed we’ve been to life up to now.
I think cup competitions are the most likely to remain in the short term - one off games that can be spread 2/3 weeks apart is actually the best format to maintain some sporting schedule.

Wow, just wow, you're a professional healthcare and you think this is scaremongering?
Then 18-35 should just resume lives? and not stay at home? Because hey.. it doesnt kill, it doesnt even harm them, you can get covid, stay at home for 14 days and resume your lives? Why don't we all just get one and take a 2 weeks vacation, and let's resume our lives.

That should be the end of that regarding this season. It simply is not fair to carry on a season with the same ramifications i.e relegation when squads can be depleted and rules change.
Given the number of players who had cardiac arrests over the years, the safest thing would be to ban professional football altogether.
Ehh, yes? Me, my little brother and his girlfriend are all under 35 and we've all had it (since we work in health care we have been tested). I hardly felt anything, my brothers girlfriend was down for about a week, my brother had it worst and was down for about 2 weeks, he lost the sense of smell and taste but we are all back to work. In a district close to ours they had multiple people tested positiv in our age group, most of them had little to no symptomes (some didnt even know they had it).
Yep. I've noticed some people are actually way too eager to get bad news about this corona situation pertaining to anything football related so they can feel vindictive and type I told you so. It's quite disturbing honestly.
Any slight bump into any football restarting projects will be met with those same type of posters licking their lips at the prospect of filling pages with complaints and moaning about this entire situation and those approving of football to get started at some point.
Although we already know that, we must put similar blame on the PL, and other clubs for just chasing the money. 19 clubs could tell Liverpool and the FA to feck off, but aren't
I'm not sure it's people who are eager to moan about football returning it's just some people see that football is a game and really isnt important right now . Also some people feel it's not worth risking one single life just so the money machine that is football can return .
We all want football back some just have different opinions on time frames than others
One day closer to PL being abandoned
Most fans I know would be happy just to finish with the existing table and declare Liverpool champions.
No doubt shameless opposition fans would harp on about not winning the title properly though, with no sense of irony.
I believe a healthcare professional over you to be fair. Also going by the article you posted, the lung complications is from Pneumonia which is the more severe case of the virus. It even states that older people have more chance of getting it. It's common knowledge that it only mildly affects people aged 18 to 35 unless they have an underlying health condition. So that post turned into a car crash when you said if Paul Pogba got it there could be a slight chance he could be seriously ill and on a ventilator even though he is fit as a bull. It's scaremongering when you say something like that. I am 29 so would I be seriously ill if I got it. Also to post those articles show's you have no clue about how covid19 affects footballers lungs and how it affects their careers. And Runaway Sue is right. Very few people aged 18 to 35 have become seriously ill from this thing. So that post was scaremongering in a nutshell which no one should be doing at the moment.

Well the Brighton player had better play anyway or they will be relegated.
Where's the irony in mentioning a title hasn't been won properly if it hasn't?
And what about if it's decided to finish the season with no Champions or relegation like in Holland?
