From what I understand Clubs and PL want to finish the season. Some Players want to get back players so wont. Like I said wait and see what the government announce on Sunday and what the PL meeting on Monday comes up with. I guess we will look at the German model how they doing it.

Depends what safeguards and precautions will be put in place by the FA, PL and Government. wait and see what discussions happen and what is put in place.

Will be interesting to see the German leagues go.

Supposedly German football back on 15th May

Some League 1 clubs have said they cant restarted cos majority of their players are out of contract at end of this month. The EFL Chiefs will meet on Monday to discuss further plans some PL clubs are backing into training already. German league chiefs and Government officials have bought in a raft of measures including the continuous monitoring and testing of players. The German FA and league chiefs will meet tomorrow to discuss further details. Teams will also have to spend time in quarantine before games can restart. I wonder if the British government will announce similar measures on Sunday night.

The German government have given their approval to the football ahead. Will be interesting to see what PM Johnson and Government says on Sunday night about sport in general. I wouldn't be surprise if Championship games go ahead but I expect league 1 and 2 will end now.

The German league is restarting with a new few weeks. Turkish football restarting aswell in June.

3 rooms in the house decorated in past 2 weeks. Just waiting for Kitchen cupboards doors and kitchen floors tiles to arrive then that will be inside the house done.

Yes some are. Parry mentions there is 200 million pounds black hole for clubs My point is players have share some of financial burden in this time. That's my point. There is around 1400 players out of contract come end of June with the EFL leagues. So getting the Premier League to help out EFL players would be good thing to ensure vast majority are Footballers next season

Walk away to what if all of Europe is shut down due to second wave of the virus? Some of our EFL clubs are going to bankrupt and that fans/community without a club shortly without the right financial package.

@Stuart is one of best idea I've seen so far. Very good idea. But you are correct that many different parties wont be in favour of including PFA wont be in favour of players not getting paid for ages, some clubs wont be in favour of it. And UEFA will want PL clubs for their competitions next season. Will they wait? I also note UEFA have been silent so far

Rick Parry speaking to the committee of department of culture, media and sport today

It's from the Daily Telegraph originally. Fans arent going to allow in stadiums for many months to come. Games behind closed doors will happen before that

Happy Birthday Mr Tony Parkes

Like I said before it more about having a plan and way forward into decide what happens to this season and next season to terms number of different things. I feel we are only one back decision from PL, FA and EFL before we see a number of law suits coming forward and going to the courts. It will have to be Government who made the decision to end the season and wont let football restart until next season. But as we have 2 French clubs have voiced concerns over different things but over the season ending the way it did. resulting in one club being relegation. Also Premier League have a problem over the TV rights as TV Companies from around have paid for a full season and that hasn't happen. With them funding alot of the PL clubs and wages of the players. So I can where they are coming from. Yes I do want football and other sports aswell back as soon as possible health and safety wise. But that's should come first There is alot of questions that need answering but I'm not sure we get much before that next 2 weeks when we find the PM Johnson and the government plan going forward and how they want sport to move forward.

I read somewhere that Premier League would fund the tests. I will try to find the article I read last week I think It will be interesting to see how games go in Spain and Italy which will go ahead shortly supposedly go. yourself and Roversfan99 have made good valid points why not to restart football until next season. I listened to Gary Neville last week on Sky who was against restarting football unless we can keep safe. I guess what I am trying to say is I'm after is a plan going forward and this is way we are going to move forward with football in this country. all football clubs are businesses and always have been. Some clubs have warned that they cant restart this season and without fans money cant go forward next season. So like I said above I after a plan from the EFL to protect these clubs and their fans base.

Look focus on getting this season done and dusted before we start thinking when next season will start and finish 1st. Tho, I would think that you wouldn't need a long summer break but maybe a couple of weeks. It makes little sense for the Premier League to finish? well some PL players clubs are already back in training and I believe that Italian and Spanish clubs players will be back training next week also. On the EFL point, It is going to be interesting to see how the EFL work out promotion and relegation spots and will it happen. Alot for CEO Rick Parry and his board member to sort out. Amiens in French football has asked the Football authorities to look again about relegation them cos the season finish early, and I read last week that Lyon are looking at taking the French Football authorities to court over his place ruling. I can see many clubs doing it here if it doesn't go in their favour. How do you sort out positions in league and who gets promotion and relegation in all 4 leagues if you null and void the season? Without football still people are doing unnecessary gatherings without football or other sports. So it doesn't need football for that to happen. They have been meetings between the Government, EFL, PL and FA about putting some football on free to air like Quest tv, the Pick channel which Sky put on freeview. Well many clubs have pre season tours overseas for a 2 or 3 weeks during pre season is it much different than going to Perth in Australia for around 6 or 7 weeks. Football has to become a TV sport for the next 6 to 12 months which mostly it is anyway when you see games on TV at weekend at least 3 to 6 PL games on tv over a weekend, what EFL clubs do about TV coverage? I don't know that why I suggested that online tv season ticket for some of the season might be a way to go.

Season tickets whether you are going to the stadium or watching on TV or on the internet is my thought. The Premier League is willing to buying the Test kits for virus to test players after every game without asking the government to pay or be involve the process. What your view on the PL Perth Australia idea? what about EFL clubs that have warned they will be go bust after the summer? how do we help their out? Does the EFL have the funds to support all the EFL clubs who are going to struggle to survive or do we face the fact that some clubs will go under?

There will be massive issues with legal issues whether it clubs or TV Companies want money returned for no games. That's why I would be more in taking it to Australia, Perth, where they have no cases for the last 5 days. They have offered the PL a route out the problem. Also less testing of players would be needed. I would be looking into this idea and seeing how viable it is. Maybe Football league clubs would be able to charge for the TV coverage through ifollow or their club website of each club whether they could some revenue even if not fans inside the ground. Without signification money from the Football league and money from Premier League clubs you are going to lose around 10 to 15 football clubs cos of this crisis. Preston are campaigning for clubs who have deferral wages to be issued transfer bans. So clearly they aren't bothered about other clubs looking after non football workers and paying them. A transfer ban would caused major issues for clubs who need to sell players to meet FFP targets. You are always going to get minority of idiots out whatever you do. No I would be glued to the TV watching football. Most of friends and family are missing football(or other sports) so if they would watching. Since being furlough by my work company I have been plenty of the Premier League years(which Rovers were in), The clips on here of the 92/93 and 93/94 seasons so far, plus other sporting programmes on tv, aswell films and TV Shows. Why don't you spend time looking to the Perth, Australia football idea?

Perth in Australia. 4 grounds to play games on

League 1 or 2 clubs have warned they wont survive past the summer due to lack of income from fans. So what's happen to them? Go bust and then communities lose their clubs? Government want football back in some capacity as it would help people stay in and morale. Also I dont see how you can null and void the season either. Teams like WBA or Leeds would go to court or the current bottom 3 clubs of Premier league or championship.

It's a good point but I waiting for the EFL to come up with a plan to finish the championship season. Unsure about league 1 and 2 season. But wats going to happen with promotion and relegation places? Premier League been offered to go to Perth to finish season off. Not sure if they will. Then after that how do supporters watch the games of Football league clubs? What about next season in regards to season tickets, fixtures and everything else? Alot of questions, not alot of answers.
