It's definitely possible they've changed their tactic since the first couple of days due to negative feedback. I hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said the stuff about the Cinema/re-subscription prices during the subsequent conversation. If that is the case then they are surely guilty of misrepresentation their terms & conditions because it says in big letters pause you sky Sports. 43 minutes ago, pds said: When I did it this morning they said it was a definite pause and would resume as soon as the action does. Aye and me. From their Website Sky Sports Pause your Sky Sports subscription In light of recent sports event postponements, you can pause your Sky Sports until the action resumes. Your Sports subscription payment will be paused until the action resumes All 11 Sky Sports channels plus your recordings will remain available As soon as the action returns, we will reinstate your Sports subscription. You don’t need to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the Marketing potential behind it, Sky and BT would be all over it. After however many months of nothing and then bang, live games for 20 odd days straight I can see when all of this is over (unlikely in the summer) there's gonna be so much relief and joy when it all properly comes back - pubs/bars open, restaurants, stadiums etc. All back to normality and there'll be that initial honeymoon period.

I think Klopp is too far town as is Moyes, Number is correct though, no one stands a chance against Nige Rodgers,is the quiet one...Bruce learnt how to dish it out will hold up better than this most Guardiola,the unseen assasin...

Aus Fox Posted 20 March 2020 Author Share Posted 20 March 2020 I actually think Dyche is way overrated there, he comes across tough but when push cane to shove he’d be in trouble. Howe in the top 8 shows how bad the league has become. Remember the glory days of Souness, Fergie, Clough, Peter Reid, George Graham these guys would have a field day with Sean Dyche and the rest of the managers these days.

So we treat the rest of the season (if it happens) as if it's the Euros? Honestly, as amazing a spectacle as it would be, I don't see a chance in hell of it happening. There's no way they could justify playing games at the same time as a tournament that was cancelled for the same reason, unless maybe it was done entirely behind closed doors. I honestly think this season is a write-off. Now as long as bellsniffs like Collymore don't get their way and the current positions are honoured, we can get back to normality with a bit of club European football in the late summer. 😌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But didn’t they cancel the euros for the reason of finishing the season? Think that justifies it really. They’d rather do that than push next season back even further then having knock on effect for euro ‘2021’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the way the euros is set up to be held, it would be impossible at the minute. Even if it was held in one place, bring together all those players from across europe has issues in this current climate. Finishing the season is completely justified.

Spudulike Posted 21 March 2020 Share Posted 21 March 2020 It will be a huge help to have testing kits available so that we know which players and staff members have had the virus (or have it). Team's can then be selected depending on health status to be played behind closed doors to get the season finished. Makes it a bit of a lottery but better than declaring the season null and void.
