We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

It's well argued. I don't think there can be much doubt that the effects of the football stoppage will ripple far beyond a time that the virus has been quelled. It's notable that about 30 days ago, the games were being played and players and clubs were being paid. 30 days later, and we see the clubs acting like mill owners cutting staff adrift. And the point he makes about mistrust rings true to me as well, and that doesn't help things. When and if the game is resumed, player agents will be very keen observers of the way their clients are treated financially and will try to hold clubs to player contracts, whether the new football ecosystem makes them feasible or not. It's an interesting argument to have.

I agree with the Gooner. The effects of the stoppage will be felt for years to come.Basically, the greed of the Premier League , clubs, and players, especially the players union have come to the forefront.When Bob posted this on FB , the first thought that came to mind is how clubs lower down the pyramid will be affected. This is not just talking about L1 and L2 , but even leagues at the regional level. Unless there is some sort of stimulus package from the league, UEFA, FIFA, etc., then the majority of clubs will go out of business because they will be so far in debt. My suggestion is to waive all debts occurred during the cancellation and for any prior debts to be deferred. Also, waiving non playing staff will lead to further unemployment claims. I read somewhere that Premier League Clubs are using some government scheme where the y can use a bailout. I can see that for smaller clubs, but not for the elite Premier clubs. In other leagues players are taking up to a 70% payout. Why not the Premiership players, who are currently being paid to stay home? Kyle Walker is sadly an exception . Those are my thoughts.
