I thought Andy had already made it clear that he won't be paying any player out of contract beyond 30/6 ?
Same decision just different wording ?

Those out of contract on the 1/7 and not at another club can claim 1 additional month, so financially in practical terms we should budget for the end of July for any releases.
That does not mean a player is contracted to play in July if released at the end of June and why would they, if they then run the risk of injury during that period.

The way things are going with this pandemic we are sadly now the 3rd highest death toll in the world can't see any football even behind closed doors until at least the autumn, IMHO it will be the government who will make the decision as the French did, as for crowds returning that's anyone's guess.

Looks like EFL about to end this season according to reports circulating stating testing procedures for covid-19 probably unable to be carried out how they decide on how its finished not clear.

Word on the street.
Premier - will be concluded all matches without fans at St Georges - 2 maybe 3 per day commencing 6/20.
Players to report 15/5/20.
Regular testing no family contact for players until finished.
EFL to close down.
No relegations only promotions.
Which means three extra teams in the Premiership ?

Bit strange that during this pandemic the minister for sports has been very quiet, this word on the street scenario would have to have the government go ahead but more importantly the players cooperation which.according to more gossip on the street is far from cut and dried.

Hi 28. What and where is St Georges?

Mr T · 01-05-2020, 10:07

Saint Georges Park ( SGP) is near Burton.

2 hotels on site and only one ( very secure) road in

No idea where "the word on the street" information has come from as none of this was discussed as either the L1 or L2 meetings yesterday

Mr T · 01-05-2020, 10:09

Also should have said there is a Govt Select Committee Meeting next week to discuss all things professional sport. EFL has been invited to attend

Been past quite a few times is quite isolated but still don't think it will work as players don't want among other things to wear masks while playing and don't want to put families at risk government guidelines will be forthcoming I,m sure.

So all the speculation might be just that the government will decide whether the EFL can deliver if for example no crowds until a vaccine then unless funded by some source it is a non starter IMHO. What's your views Mr T.?

cashman · 01-05-2020, 11:27

to me its all a load of balls (speculation) until someone in authority makes a decision!

Why would it be ?
Premiership this is about not EFL.
However ......
So you aren't aware of the leaked recording from Bristol Rovers which is under investigation for instance ?
