Phil Parkinson A few of the lads wanted to go abroad We advised it against them Honestly sweet mother of god
The whole countries in panic and all they can think about is using this opportunity to have a holiday. Footballers live in a different world to normal people unfortunately, and about 90% of them are thick as pig shyte with too much money in the Bank. They should be spending the time they have off now sat in their mansions reading up about how to grow some balls and improve your mental strength.
As long as the trip they're planning isn't to Lake Garda, I wouldn't be too bothered if they follow the right protocol. There's not much COVID 19 out in the Carribbean. I can see the appeal of going to a beach and recharging with some warm weather for a week or 2.
I'd tell any of them that if they want to go away, we'll release them from their contracts ... ... any of them. Off you go lads. When this is all over, and loads of clubs have gone under, there'll be dozens of players desperate for a club.
