He also echoes what I,ve been saying they are concentrating on the wrong thing ending this season instead of the future with or without crowds and were the income is coming from. One of his ideas is for players to take short term paycuts which was frowned on by the PFA he,s right though reduced costs now could be the difference between a job in the future.

While you’re on furlough
Once you are on furlough you will not be able to work for your employer. You can undertake training......

I doubt it's that straightforward. The training that is referred to in the guidance is intended to be a course or similar that would enable an employee to perform their duties better, once furloughing has ended. Training for footballers is a normal part of their job and is extremely unlikely to be covered by that definition, hence the question that Mr T refers to.

its still less than 3 months ago when we were still going to games. a lot has happened since then. i imagine a lot will happen the other way in the next 3 months. that more or less takes us up the september when proper football could resume. a big possibility it could resume with fans also. far too much negativity around without any real positive glass half full messages around. every person seems have contracted project fear and its going to be difficult to get this out of their minds.

That is why they should be concentrating their efforts on next season not on concluding this one. It isn't negativity when if you run a business and your in financial trouble you search your head and look for ways of salvaging what you have. Don't forget it's not just players it's management teams, physio,s kit men whatever will need looking at when the furloughing scheme finishes which is the only financial aid they have had the money from the football authorities is just an advance payment and many clubs will have probably already spent it.

Why not play the rest of the season on ‘neutral’ beaches!

Tin Monkey · 26-05-2020, 10:04

Maybe they should play all the remaining games in Durham? Apparently everyone can go there and do what they like!

I always thought that “Cummings and Goings” was a reference to that part of the football year when players went on the “Merry Go Round” of transfers and signing new contracts! Seems it is now something to do with politics. I just thank God that Boris and his mate Dominic aren’t football referees in League Two!

Well as this morning the majority of the country including the people who for health reasons were shielding emerge slowly using comman sense from the grip of lockdown and slowly breaths a collective sigh of relief what is happening at league 1 the last to have any clear directive, it's riddled with arguments about self interest and pointless arguments about what's fair, they need to get a grip what's been fair about the last 10 weeks I thought it was just Premiership clubs were self centered but unfortunately some in league 1 have been seen in the same selfish couldn't care about others attitude. June 8th next vote if there hoping for a fair outcome they are in cuckoo land and for once you can't lay that at the EFL,s door.

cashman · 01-06-2020, 08:38

i will the E.F.L. shoulda sorted this long ago.

Twenty Eight · 01-06-2020, 08:41

It's all 72 EFL clubs voting on the 8th not just League One.
It isn't a vote to decide on League One its to agree the framework laid out on 21 May.

cashman · 01-06-2020, 08:55

that probably means not good i reckon.

Exactly so league 1 will still be no nearer should have sorted their own backyard out like most others did but threats of legal action we were in form, you were fading away wouldn't have got over the line these are just some comments I,ve seen the position of the table has it ground to a halt didn't lie big ego,s in a playground comes to mind.
