Because they think it isn’t going to be safe for a long time 

But in theory it might not be safe until March in which case would you not just finish the current season?  If it's august then it would make sense to just start next season? 

I may be missing something but why are leagues making a decision to abandon now? Is it not best to wait to find out when it might be safe for football to return and then decide? 

Gonna bar my other half from the paint brush. Spent last saturday painting the fences and I'll now have to spend this saturday cleaning paint off the path.

Raffaele De Vita might be the one. Never played in the first team, moved to Scotland and was reasonably successful. I would sometimes see his name on the videoprinter and wonder where I'd heard it before.

Going further back, I remember Beattie being touted as the next big thing, but couldn't get ahead of Newell, Gallacher and Sutton before moving to Southampton as part of the Davies deal.

I would have been young at the time but I remember spending a couple of years wishing de vita would get into the first team purely cos he was prolific on football manager.

I've just watched Tiger King on Netflix and I have to say its absolutely bonkers, only in America, had me captivated all the way through.

For more unbelievable but true stories 'The Jinx' is on most platforms (sky for free) and is fantastic, I binged watched that a few years ago and its just coming to a head now with I'm sure more HBO episodes in the pipeline:

But the undisputed TV series, and still unsurpassed in my book, The Sopranos - tremendous, watched it all the way through 3 times and still picking up on new bits.

Tiger king was great, first episode didnt grip me straight away mind. What baffled me about the whole thing is how much money simple rednecks seem to have.

Since this whole lockdown business, I've dusted off my ultimate force DVDs. Love that show, shame they revamped it after season 2

Perhaps not underrated by fans but by management in terms of opportunities given but I'd have King in there. 

Matt derbyshire would get on the list for me as would brett emerton and the magnificent Rochina.
