Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Theyre really fucking desperate to restart matches. The PL were paid £9.2 billion just for TV coverage this season, and if it doesn't restart they have to pay about half of that back. Then theres matchday ticket revenue lost, again, billions. Looking forward -even if it is restarted in a shambolic way, there is no way Sky, BT or any of the foreign TV companies will pay the same now for next season. So expect less ridiculous transfer fees and stupid inflated wages. Not a bad thing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shit will cause lots of injuries. Saw that too. I really don't know how they can sit there, come up with those ideas and think 'yes, this would work'...like how the hell do you expect players to suddenly look one way while their body is tackling or challenging someone the other way when they will be in the moment, playing with full adrenaline etc?! One doesn't even have to play the game to know that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown reason? Are you serious? It is most important reason for clubs and FA as well. MONEY! They will lose billions... In France they did not finished season because they lost only around 250m which is something they can accept. Like I said even Chelsea would rather finish this season 6th and play games than getting CL place and cancel the season now because we would lose more money.

Let all this settle down, plan well. To start playing now or very soon will only bring negatives with it. Any and i mean any way of sorting things out using current placing's is fairer than a void.

All those super obvious so called errors via var cannot go unrewarded. They did very well for pool this season. 49 minutes ago, Tomo said: Any and i mean any way of sorting things out using current placing's is fairer than a void. Yes that works....just ride it out. Where you are now is where you are finishing, in any case we will still get CL footy. This utterly useless model they are spewing about atm will end badly, its a damn guarantee.
