If I was a multi millionaire prem footballer I would want 100% assurance from the govt and league that I would not contract the virus even behind closed doors.

You're failing to see outside your scope of preference. Players won't do this IMO but let's assume it happened.

If a player refuses to train/play on the grounds you stated, you need to also ask yourself what would be the impact of that? What does it mean for their contract with the club they refuse to represent? What would it entitle the club to do?

You think the clubs will just say, "OK" and go home? If you can't play because of covid, a reason not within the control of the club then you're provably FIRED. Surely you won't be expecting to keep receiving your wages like its business as usual?

If you can't play for fear of covid then the club cant pay wages because of covid too, because they need you playing in order to make money in order to pay you millions every year so any such player can say goodbye to next weeks wages, and this weeks if it hasn't been paid too.

If both parties can't perform contractual obligations then the contract is frustrated and void and everyone can go their separate ways.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would have to be a collective decision by all the players. This is where the PFA would get involved. Sat for example 3 or 4 players in squad felt it was unsafe. They would contact their PFA rep who turn would contact Gordon Taylor. If every club had 2, 3 or 4 players feeling the same then you have a problem.

As I mentioned before the govt will have to say it is 100% safe to put player's mind at ease.

Indeed

The government will also wipe their rse on demand, make sure they don't catch any sniffles and tuck them up in bed with a hot mug of cocoa before bedtime

ffs, get a grip.

How can any government 100% guarantee anything?

Professional footballers are probably one of the sets of fittest people on the planet, provided with the very best of healthcare and as such by far in the lowest group of at risk individuals.

Any player demanding such extravagance which in itself is an impossibility deserves their rses booted out the game.

The PFA can't wait for the season to resume. I don't think they'll be a problem.

There is no way any government on this earth will be able to 100% guarantee anything

Being fit does not mean you won't get injured if you get knocked though. It only protects against movement related injuries. If someone punches you or drives their studs into your shin, or pushes you into the stands etc then it doesn't matter how fit you are.

Sandy, if you had the choice of Spurs to be saved from relegation and Liverpool crowned champions at same time, you would 100% take it and so would you Billy. All this self righteous Bolloks on here. It’s all about you’re own teams fortunes at the end of the day.

Government job retention scheme and furlough extended to end of June which to me says we’ll be in this for a lot longer and can’t see any chance of football this side of autumn.

The recent news is the clubs are together on finishing the season, so regardless how long it takes, the season will finish. It won’t be autumn mate, not a chance. The season will resume end of June/July.

Imagine being on trial for some crime. Half way through the court case, with half the evidence heard, they adjourn due to the virus. Rather than looking for an appropriate future time to complete the hearing, the Jury make their decision based on the evidence heard so far.

Relegating Any team on the basis of an incomplete season is the equivalent. Hugely unjust and would not survive an Appeal.

The furlough thing makes no difference ginger. It’s being extended as a safety measure and was always going to happen. This doesn’t suddenly mean footy won’t resume until winter just because of the furlough extension ffs

Partick thistle is the team i follow in glasgow. I followed them home and away from 4 years old up to the age of 21 when i then focused more of my time and money on trips to anfield.

As someone with a vested interest in thistle i can honestly say if this decision was made and we had played the same games as queen of the south id have taken it on the chin. These are exceptional times and whilst i think the decision is rushed id have accepted it. I have no issue with celtic being awarded the title for example, they are 15 points ahead with 3 quarters of the season gone having. What i have huge issue with is the fact that we have been relegated with a game in hand on the team above us despite being only 2 points behind. Its farcical and totally unsurprising of the authorities up here who couldnt hit water if they fell out a boat.

You think this is just done for a safety back up?

It screams to me social distancing will be in place for some considerable time. How do footballers deal with that?
