I agree Hancock could have said all high earning people but he was asked particularly about footballers it seems. Do think though the PFA and some clubs haven't come out of this well.

I guess it's a case of grand gesture and well played to those who came up with the idea but others might say is this done too late to try and regain some good PR after a week of negative press - not helped by Mr Hancock and Taylor ?

Been rubbished by the Premier league. Probably one of those 2nd hand interview with a few words twisted.

This chap with a "connection " to us thinks the season will be scrapped. Always a bit wary of such articles as they can be lost in translation.. And I presume he is talking for our owners which they won't levss usually the Pozzos are very quiet and don't speak to the media at all. https://onefootball.com/cms/en/29651975?variable=2020-04-07T23%3A25%3A44Z&_branch_match_id=406590449167325189

He used that as an example of the club backing down to fan pressure.

Rory Smith just said they are the club that care about their fans and staff the most .. Well if so they would have not done it in the first place like our clubs have and there is no suggestion we will.

No Pepe Renia ? Very good at Liverpool . There was quite a gap in quality between top 3/4 and the rest.

A sign teams will want to keep the season going? You'd think Burnley were one of the better run clubs too. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/04/04/burnley-could-lose-50m-premier-league-season-does-not-finish/?li_source=LI&li_medium=liftigniter

Well just like posting generally. TBh its got quite political! So stay out of that.

It's probably an empty threat. Like you say they won't ban the top teams .

Well as Kop says above it's sort of money making idea they have wanhed to do for ages?
