In the PL most tickets are season tickets but I get your point. I think fulfilling the tv contract will bring in more money than gate receipts so that is the most important thing.

I feel hugely for the leagues below where gate receipts are critical. The pl needs to help those clubs out, we need the football pyramid.

If pro football gets null and void today the PL face owing £720m to media companies because they haven’t fulfilled their contract etc.

For financial reasons alone football can not be null and void this season.

That’s a lot of money.
And the second best reason for finishing the season.
You can all guess the first.:ROFLMAO:

During the League games though as per normal, otherwise you risk League and Cup games becoming a joke!

My thought was if we started say 15th may behind closed doors, then we'd finish the league campaign by 30th june, begin the remaining cup games from say 1st july and theyll be sorted by 21st july month off then look to start season 1st october.

That way the league/ cups are only 6 weeks behind schedule..

Then teams rest all their best for the Cup games or get booked in the league and banned from cup games etc.

That's entirely their right, just like it is to play a weakend side....

Giving the clubs the ability to play all the remaining games is imperative, how they manage it is upto the clubs themselves.
 
We know theres millions of pounds in and around football but one thing this pandemic has shown is as quick as the money comes in, it goes out and theres actually little money in football clubs banks.

But it might not be Stu, you’re looking at from an English PL point of view, Leagues around Europe may restart at different times and have different amounts of games left in the season.

You can’t schedule the CL or EL games until it’s fair to everyone.

As for playing weaker teams, doing it intentionally against teams whose survival or qualification for Europe is at stake is wrong.

I said a while back that not starting this season til october/nov would probably be better as it falls in line with 2022 WC.

Belgian league have already given Brugge the league.

CL and EL I think will be voided and that's only down to travelling as opposed to anything else. Unless it's all played behind closed doors.

I dont think it is. Its within the rules to use your squad. It happens most weeks in the league. I remember Neil Warnock blaming Rafa because he played a weakend side against Fulham days befor a Very important CL semi final.

If anything I’d argue binning next season off until this year is concluded across Europe.

Next season could always be some sort of one off hybrid League/Cup format before getting back to normal in 2021/22.

The truth is most clubs cant afford to bin off the league for a hybrid or any other scenario.

The PL couldn't afford it and all of the sponsors would want their dosh back. It cant happen.

Even if the players had say 2 weeks off then 2 weeks pre season, the season would only be 3 weeks behind and most european leagues start 2 weeks after us with less games and a longer winter break. Condense those down and I reckon theres only a weeks difference

Btw I'm just thinking about loud here so my maths might be out but I'm sure you get the jist

I do mate, I just think this coronavirus is going to go on and have an impact we can’t even understand yet.
Can’t see any “normality” for a couple of years sadly.
