    PL clubs voting that they prefer to play at home is a meaningless vote. Ask them if they prefer to play at home or pay £800m and have automatic relegation on PPG and I think they won't care so much about their familiar surroundings any more.

    Players like Pogba down tools every week anyway. Man management is part of the game.

    That's the benefit of providing enough tests to be able to check everyone instead of politicans only providing them for their mates and servants.

    I'm not convinced this is resolved

    They also care about their sponsorship deal revenues......

    And you’ve just ignored the loss of the £300m in the article you just replied to.

    Players and managers are to be consulted later this week.

    Plenty of players will be reluctant to play or train normally while the infection / death rate is still high.

    You think any club has a deal which states they get more money by not playing than by playing?

    There's no problem here.

    Either the games get played at home anyway or the police force neutral grounds. Isn't that one of those force majeures you were so fond of 2 months ago?

    They're free to buy out their contracts and stay at home.

    You maybe don’t realise as you’ve never been to one. But stadiums are full of sponsorship logos, and some are even named after the sponsor.......

    I think you’ll find they’re legally entitled to be safe at work.

    I've seen them on TV, sometimes players get pushed into them. Police get final say on health and safety, so sponsors are going to take clubs to court over missed advertising?

    Anyway you just put adverts for the sponsors on the stream. They'll end up with massively more clicks than before anyway.

    It's also interesting that today was the first time scrapping the league has been discussed at a meeting.
    ****s getting serious.

    Null and voiders have had the last two months of their 24/7 existence on here agitating for null and void null and voided: if you ask certain legal eagles on here they may provide advice on how you can sue the FA to get that time back. But only if 14 or more of the Prem will allow it. Or something like that.

    So how do you think Fulham and Brentford will do in the CL next season after the FA disband the PL?

    Not just the CL, all cups. It's a dangerous exposure of one league with another.

    How will the EFL provide players for the CL if they wont do what the FA says? Turkeys and Christmas dude. Enough prem team near the top will be supplemented by enough efl team at the bottom. You might even get more points next season if that happens, though probably nowhere near the 37 you need to get close to us.
