fazzyfox Posted 13 March 2020 Posted 13 March 2020 re the point about players contracts ending / transfers possible potentially before end of an extended season, I guess they'd say you can't (delay transfer window opening / registration of unattached players) or perhaps you can sign a player but as they're not on your 25 man list for this current half of season they can't play. If you have a want-away player though and his contract is up can you force him to stay and complete the season .

What would 'sufficiently' look like. And why? I'm personally convinced they are following expert advice and not winging it/being partisan. That's all I can ask. Whether they've got the right experts is a different matter, but one I'm in no way qualified to comment on. For those complaining that our approach is different to that taken by some other countries, there seems to be an assumption that e.g. China's measures have beaten the virus. Even if they have (for now) what happens at the back end of this year? The city wide lockdowns all over again? This thread highlights one reason why we might have different inputs going into our experts' decision making processes;
Glorious Leicester Fan Posted 13 March 2020 Posted 13 March 2020 I don’t know how this season can continue. Whilst I appreciate the economic consequences, clubs, PL, FA (like all employers) have a duty of care to players, staff and fans. It would be interesting how the PL/FA resolve the leagues final positions. It seems to me that the most fair solution is to use the current positions. Liverpool to win it and top 4 CL, bottom 3 get relegated. Relegated clubs will moan, but can you imagine the collective backlash if they take this to court?

In a major national emergency clubs are just going to have to suck it up.

If anything you are trying to deflect from their poor response because of political The majority of people on here are using this as a plain bashing tool over the government. You can dress that up as much as you want but the fact remains that it shouldnt be happening (unless those fans hold masters in a select scientific field). We are all biased as footy fans, scientists are bias by science and government are bias via politics. However, in this case you have the top independent scientist's in their field who have spent their whole lives doing it, and the government are following THEIR ADVICE

The problem is that Villa have played a game less than the clubs around them at the bottom. The Premier League could decide to use Points Per Game to decide league position, in which case Villa would still be relegated.

Season ticket holders, I imagine nothing will change until a decision has been made on the postponed games. If they're to be played, then a fair assumption is nothing. If they're to be cancelled, I'd expect the club to reimburse. As for generic ticket holders, probably similar. These are uncharted seas, sit tight everyone!

fazzyfox Posted 13 March 2020 Posted 13 March 2020 7 minutes ago, Costock_Fox said: Can anyone summarise what this means for ticket holders? I'm sure the club are working on a statement, I wouldn't say "You have a ticket for something that isn't going to take place" yet but they may say "wait and see", it would be valid for a re-scheduled game if and when it happens I presume. If that game is on a different week day and rules you out of going would it be the same as the TV games i.e. tough luck no refund? If rescheduled by months I would think refunds would be offered. If re-scheduled but behind closed doors I'm sure refunds would be available. For season ticket holders it's different unless they could calculate and refund a proportion of the up front cost or offer it as a discount for next season.

He’s like the doll of a fashion designer’s tasteless ADHD-ridden child. If it weren’t for his millions he’d get chucked out of primark on grounds of public decency. (Yes, now the league’s been suspended this is how I’m choosing to spend my time.)

I doubt we'll be playing games again for a long time. I think everyone will be shocked if it happens like they predict it will ! they made a forecast on Monday that they would let us know about self isolation in 10/14 days and came back 4 days later to give it !
