Coronovirus

this last couple of weeks have been like an eternity for me. feel really sorry for folk who are more or less stopping indoors who like meeting and chatting with other folk. some at my over 50,s club have no close family and its the only time they really meet others a couple of days a week. think no one really has taken peoples mental states into consideration.
 
With self distancing expected to last at least until the end of the year what will happen to football and other sports, sadly me thinks it may never be the same again.
 
Club shop, offices and stadium to shut untill further notice from closing time today very scary times good luck everyone stay safe.
 
EFL say that they want to complete this season so has promotion and relegation won't be compromised, but they say the £50 million safety net for clubs will cover 3 months of inactivity but also said it could be 18 months before any football is played. No idea were they get their estimated time lapse from just think they are preparing worst case scenario.

Well said good post I agree season finished is best option unfortunately nobody knows when it will be safe to do so and it will probably be behind closed doors, so that doesn't help clubs financial position sadly some might have gone to the wall by then making ending the season problematic. Let's all just stay safe and hopefully we'll be back to some normality sooner rather than later.

joking apart the longer this stay indoors is with us i,m afraid there are going to be many who develop mental health issues and those with em might get worse. actually its something that bothers me more than the virus as people are entering an unknown being close to bored partners and even bored and noisier than normal kids around 24 hours a day without a break. going to make the christmas and new year period feel like a blip for family harmony.
 
Step 5 and 6 in the football pryamid to have their season's finished now with promotion and relegation either decided or season declared null and void maybe clearing the way for the rest of football, because it's becoming clear this crisis isn't going anywhere soon.

Leeds United to discuss wage cap salaries with the players as they envisage hard times financially ahead.

at least something good and sensible eventually coming out of that club. high wages have probably caused more financial problems for teams than anything else. teams with few fans having to compete for players with those who get 10 times more and getting into terminal death due to it.

I presume you meant terminal debt MH, damn predictive text eh :)
 
Championship clubs after only a few weeks in serious trouble wages to players and agents demands are beginning to have the kind of impact that the sudden loss of TV money would have done this crisis is coming home to roost for many clubs being run recklessly not just lower leagues but up at the prima Donna's end as I have said before football could change forever.
