Okay - no relegation from the prem and no promotion. I agree and my club is very much affected by that decision, but i'll accept it's part of the moving on.
But the parachute payments that would have gone to the relegated clubs, should go to the top 3 in the championship as compensation. 4th and below should've played better throughout the season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a bad idea imo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep good idea, I guess it would need to be evenly distributed by a number of PL clubs though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Prem has £1.6bn in the bank. They could add a bit too.

I think people actually just expect sports to be one of the last things to start back up, not one of the first and that there are a lot of unknowns at the moment.
I think that is quite difficult for Liverpool fans to fathom as they have to argue in extremes.

Well it's a pretty obvious extention from Wilkos isnt it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe you should start arguming that football should start up as you can buy a pie at the ground. Its a pretty obvious extension from KFC right?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it is an obvious extention. Youre saying ASDA and Wilkos are essential. That's why they're open.
If you think theyre goung to stop football for however long and should do too then fine but I think it's silly and VERY unlikely.

Yeah right.
Just out of curiosity, if we have 22 teams or more in the PL and no relegation, what happens if there is a (likely) relapse?
More games than normal, possibly a smaller window to fit the season in, unless they change its start/stop date permanently.
May sound like a good solution so no one appears to lose out (despite the fact there will still be losers) but would really spell problems if next season had any hiccups. Which is probable.
Comparing football with KFC is absurd.
Last time I checked, KFC staff don't run around with customers, coming into contact with each other frequently over a period of 90 minutes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is some serious misconception about parachute payments though, that they benefit the clubs coming down, when the reality is far different. They're given to help clubs with the financial hardship of relegation and to cope with essentially having PL running costs in the Championship. If a club has spent nothing since going up then they're obviously a benefit, but all clubs need to strengthen and most clubs need that cash just to stay afloat. My lot didn't massively overspend on players, butbits still enough to see you lumbered with a vastly higher wage bill and players who have depreciated in value. I initially thought we'd be minted when we came back down but the costs incurred on top of our pre-existing debt means failing to get straight back up has pretty much put us a bit up sh-t creek. Parachute payments are not always the beneficial windfall that many think.
I do agree with some form of compensation to promotion chasing clubs in the event of the worst case scenario, though it has to be sensible as those clubs don't have PL running costs and any huge windfall would give already strong teams a serious financial advantage ahead of a new season. You may as well just promote them as hamstring the rest of the teams in the division.

Yes it diesnt really make sense to me that people like yourself can have such a problem with 300 people working in a controlled environment but not have a problem with 300 people working in a controlled environment.
That's your choice though. Sure using ASDA was a bit tongue in cheek but I thiught you you wrent utterly humourless tbh. Fact is dozens of non essential business, and I mean truly essential, are open and sercing the general public let alone in a controlled emvironment with oodles of testing so your argument us absolute bollox Im afraid.
In fact mass testing and tracing in a controlled environmrnt such as football may even be a good thing. Some people just like wetting themselves a bit.
The whole season becomes a farce and might as well be voided if they proceed without relegation. Teams with nothing to play for will get rolled over by the teams still competing for European spots. Would make a total mockery of the tournament.
Won’t happen.

Or maybe PL clubs can withdraw from them if it's too much for them? I'm sure many clubs below the Premier League would still like the income a cup run provides.

Champs ……….. it was a 30 sec idea without any fine tuning of the actual specifics. In principle for me it's an idea, nothing more. Something will need to happen and whatever the solution is, I can see lawyers getting rich. Parachute payments are a bit of an offset for relegated clubs, I get that. They're not a total fix financially.

And now sarcasm. Youre having a bit of a mare Tam. Perhaps go back to bed and start again.

I think some people honestly expect us to be locked down until there is a vaccine you know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think people actually just expect sports to be one of the last things to start back up, not one of the first and that there are a lot of unknowns at the moment.
I think that is quite difficult for Liverpool fans to fathom as they have to argue in extremes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not one of the first, what are you talking about?
Loads havent even stopped. It's got absolutely nothing to do with me supporting Liverpool either, more your neurosis by the looks of things.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can't count services that didn't stop as being the first to start up.
Its everything to do with Liverpool. Its quite silly to pretend that your support of Liverpool has no influence on whether you want football to restart.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm on record as saying Im not even bothered about being given the title. You're just reaching.
I do want foitball to restart though and I do want stuff to reopen and it's happening too. Might go get a burger later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah right.

Just out of curiosity, if we have 22 teams or more in the PL and no relegation, what happens if there is a (likely) relapse?
More games than normal, possibly a smaller window to fit the season in, unless they change its start/stop date permanently.
May sound like a good solution so no one appears to lose out (despite the fact there will still be losers) but would really spell problems if next season had any hiccups. Which is probable.

Comparing football with KFC is absurd.
Last time I checked, KFC staff don't run around with customers, coming into contact with each other frequently over a period of 90 minutes.

Okay - no relegation from the prem and no promotion. I agree and my club is very much affected by that decision, but i'll accept it's part of the moving on.
But the parachute payments that would have gone to the relegated clubs, should go to the top 3 in the championship as compensation. 4th and below should've played better throughout the season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a bad idea imo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep good idea, I guess it would need to be evenly distributed by a number of PL clubs though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Prem has £1.6bn in the bank. They could add a bit too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is some serious misconception about parachute payments though, that they benefit the clubs coming down, when the reality is far different. They're given to help clubs with the financial hardship of relegation and to cope with essentially having PL running costs in the Championship. If a club has spent nothing since going up then they're obviously a benefit, but all clubs need to strengthen and most clubs need that cash just to stay afloat. My lot didn't massively overspend on players, butbits still enough to see you lumbered with a vastly higher wage bill and players who have depreciated in value. I initially thought we'd be minted when we came back down but the costs incurred on top of our pre-existing debt means failing to get straight back up has pretty much put us a bit up sh-t creek. Parachute payments are not always the beneficial windfall that many think.
I do agree with some form of compensation to promotion chasing clubs in the event of the worst case scenario, though it has to be sensible as those clubs don't have PL running costs and any huge windfall would give already strong teams a serious financial advantage ahead of a new season. You may as well just promote them as hamstring the rest of the teams in the division.

Well it's a pretty obvious extention from Wilkos isnt it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it?
Maybe you should start arguming that football should start up as you can buy a pie at the ground. Its a pretty obvious extension from KFC right?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it is an obvious extention. Youre saying ASDA and Wilkos are essential. That's why they're open.
If you think theyre goung to stop football for however long and should do too then fine but I think it's silly and VERY unlikely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Still telling me what I think.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not, it's pre fixed with "if".
Are you drunk Tam?

I'm not having a mare. You are just dismissing anything that contrasts with your opinion and then pretending you're the only one who is rational. Then say things like ' go back to bed mate' to try and discredit people.
If anyone has had a mare, it is you with this comment:
'You can work in ASDA but yiu cant play football.'
The most embarrassing argument I have seen on this thread.

Apparently a logical extension of KFC being open is that football grounds should be open as you can buy a pie.

Yes it diesnt really make sense to me that people like yourself can have such a problem with 300 people working in a controlled environment but not have a problem with 300 people working in a controlled environment.
That's your choice though. Sure using ASDA was a bit tongue in cheek but I thiught you you wrent utterly humourless tbh. Fact is dozens of non essential business, and I mean truly essential, are open and sercing the general public let alone in a controlled emvironment with oodles of testing so your argument us absolute bollox Im afraid.
In fact mass testing and tracing in a controlled environmrnt such as football may even be a good thing. Some people just like wetting themselves a bit.

The whole season becomes a farce and might as well be voided if they proceed without relegation. Teams with nothing to play for will get rolled over by the teams still competing for European spots. Would make a total mockery of the tournament.
Won’t happen.

Or maybe PL clubs can withdraw from them if it's too much for them? I'm sure many clubs below the Premier League would still like the income a cup run provides.

Take the emotion out of it for the moment and consider your opinion when it comes to Rugby - assuming you're not a big rugby fan.
Why on earth would anyone consider playing a rugby match at this moment in time?
Football seems to have a misplaced sense of social importance.

Champs ……….. it was a 30 sec idea without any fine tuning of the actual specifics. In principle for me it's an idea, nothing more. Something will need to happen and whatever the solution is, I can see lawyers getting rich. Parachute payments are a bit of an offset for relegated clubs, I get that. They're not a total fix financially.
