Let's Call The Whole Thing Off?

You’re just making **** up now.

Behind closed doors games at central locations to see out the remaining games of THIS SEASON has rightly been described as unfair on those at the bottom end of the table, scrapping for their PL survival, as they’d lose vital home advantage in key matches. Plus it’s rightly been pointed out that as a spectacle BCD games are ****e to watch.

If a new season has to start with BCD games then that’d be something that clubs would have to agree to before a ball was kicked. I think the appeal of that to the viewing public would be extremely short lived though, and for the lower leagues it’s simply unsustainable.

 

I think, everything should start when it is safe to do so, behind closed doors, carry that on into next season whenever that can start until fans can be introduced. But if it’s ok to have closed doors for part of next season I don’t buy that it isn’t ok to end this season because of what everybody knows and didn’t know in advance. Nobody knew this **** was coming and the remainder of this season also has an impact on lower league sides

 

Nope...but there will be tv money...to be honest mate 15 years ago, when you were in deep financial ****, killing a season could have seen your club fold yet you seem to forget about the clubs that are now in the position you were.
No football gor a season means no tv money, therefore no advertising money...we would lose dozens of league clubs and hundreds of non league clubs (I fear we will lose a lot as it stands) ... football is not just sbout the bigger clubs with money bags owners.

 

I don’t want football on hold for a year, I want it to start again behind closed door as soon as possible. Nothing will replace the revenue for lower sides like having their ground open, ticket sale, match day merchandise etc would but being able to cover their games via their own website with fans paying to view would surely replace some of that and help where possible until they can get people in again?

 

So he’s saying they wouldn’t vote for a PPG or final table after 29 games outcome......otherwise they’d be errrmmm relegating sides in the bottom 3.

 

I still think this is the most important thing and of far more importance than the title/European places. I'd like to hope that clubs wouldn't vote for it but you never know.

I'd probably never go again if Saints were one of 14 to vote for the current bottom 3 to be relegated just cos we happened to be alright.

 

If it is finished behind closed doors so be it...it'll make no difference to us but will to every club fighting for promotion, European places, play off places and against relegation.
I think it is disengenuious of pundits to tslk sbout the integrity of the league nedding to be finished and then ignore the integrity being compromised by games taking place behind closed doors.
It is a clear disadvantage to the home team and and advantage to the away team...that is why it is used as a serious punishment.

But this season can not impact on next.

 

I just can’t see it. 14 clubs voting that way isn’t going to happen imo.

 

Nooooo!!!!!! He's saying the complete ****ing opposite, and you know it! What he is saying is that they'd use PPG to decide the league table, but nobody would be relegated. Seriously, you didn't think I'd fall for that, did you?

 

Thats what I said...the tv money will save some clubs...that's why next season can not be binned as was suggested by....errrr....you.

Won't happen but prem clubs should all put into a kitty so it can be shared out down the leagues to save clubs.

 

So you’re suggesting he’s advocating a final table solution that is only a final table for some. I see, makes perfect sense.

Fall for what btw? I merely posted an article from the BBC site.

P.S. I couldn’t read all of the article you posted, as I’m not a Torygraph subscriber, so I’ll have to take your word for that quote. Shocked here like.

 

I can't either really and football as a whole simply can't allow it to happen. But you'd only need the top 7 for Europe and a few who are in a immediate danger of relegation for it to suddenly become close.

 

So **** Leeds, Brentford and co ...no promotions?

 

How will it? You seem to be saying that we can't end this season behind closed doors because we need to start this season behind closed doors, but we don't want to start next season behind closed doors, so we'll wait until we don't have to. So we can't finish this season in any way shape or form because, er, er, fairness and integrity. And little Labrador puppies, or something or other.

 

Good to see you can engage in a genuine debate

 

Whilst I hate to be pedantic ... aren't Aunt Bessies puddings already made?

So can we call him a "plassy mongo aunt bessie pudding heating fishturd" please

 

That you'd have to ask the chairman of Brighton. My point was that the Prem were not going to null-and-void this season. Tobes quoted a half-report from the BBC saying that they would as they didn't want relegations: I quoted the full report in the Telegraph that contradicts the null and void assertion made, and that the only stipulation was that there'd be no relegations. Conclusion - there'll be no relegations unless the league can be finished, and if it can't the placings will be based on PPG. QED.

 

Okay, sorry for that - I'm just being facile. But forgive me for getting a tad exasperated as your argument is just going around and around in self-contradictory circles.

 

There’s some teams at the bottom have more home games than the teams around them. It’s unfair to strip them of that advantage.

 

Or you are chosing to misinterpret what I have written.
But I am off for my walk...enjoy putting the football world to rights...more enjoyable than looking at the real news and trying not to **** ourselves!

Stay safe
