Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

bit like this season not being completed and Liverpool not being given a trophy

 

No, not in the slightest is it similar. It's more like Liverpool claiming they should be awarded the Community Shield #oneoffgameafterleagueiscompleted

 

Just watched the 4-3 on sky, us v Newcastle. Bloody hell it was an amazing match. Reminded me of a couple of players I'd forgotten, number 1 steve harkness, someone who should have been Sunday league, playing in the prem.

 

Premier League warns PFA of £762m penalty if season is voided

Paul Barber became Brighton chief executive in 2012
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber says the Premier League is not ignoring the plight of the general population during the coronavirus pandemic.

At a Premier League meeting on Friday, it was decided to extend indefinitely the date for the season's resumption.

But Barber says the wish to finish the season is not being driven by finance.

"When you start seeing 400, 500 or 600 people dying in a day in the country you live in, you should be shocked by that," he said.

"That gives you a sense of perspective about what is really important at the moment. I don't think football clubs are immune or ignorant to that.

"But football is also a business that employs a lot of people. Either directly or indirectly, in our local community, 2,000 jobs depend on us. We want to try to get our businesses back to working again as soon as we can.

"We have to be respectful and we have to be patient. Putting a business like ours back together when it is not safe to do so, just isn't going to happen."

Meanwhile, Burnley say the club is set for a shortfall of £50m if the Premier League season is not completed.

In a statement released on Saturday, the Clarets said they face missing out on cash payments from the Premier League of up to £45m, including broadcasting revenue, plus a £5m gap from lost gate revenue from their remaining home games.

Burnley chairman, Mike Garlick, said: "It's a completely unprecedented situation that we and other Premier League clubs face and which we could not have foreseen in any way only just a few weeks ago.

"It's now not just about Burnley or any other individual club anymore, it's about the whole football ecosystem from the Premier League downwards and all the other businesses and communities that feed from that ecosystem."

The Premier League, clubs and the Professional Footballers' Association are due to meet on Saturday to discuss proposals for wage cuts.

Top-flight clubs have agreed to propose a 30% cut to ease the financial burden of the coronavirus crisis.

I've been saying this for weeks but Tobes reckons it won't cost them anything

 

No he doesn't

 

Nope, not what I said at all, why lie? Or do you struggle with comprehension?

 

So how much would it cost them?

 

Depends on how much you truncate next season by in order to give Liverpool a trophy.
TV and sponsorship deals are spread over 3 or 5 years which means if you miss matches/competitions (cups) next season to finish this one then people will wan't money back or refuse to pay what would be owed.

 

Watched your lot beat us 4-3 live. Been on SSN brought some good memories. Be a travesty if Liverpool don’t get the league. Some clubs, like Liverpool and Newcastle for different reasons, just don’t get the luck.

can’t stand man united, so I’m hoping you get it.

 

What don't you like about them? It's OK, we're on lock-down. You have all the time in the world to list the reasons

Spurs reverse furlough decision after criticism from supporters

 

Took them long enough.

 

The European leagues all wanting to finish the season it seems with France being the latest to say they want to start back on 17 June and finish 25 July. They say it's not clear if it would be behind closed doors but that's surely the only way if they're proposing a June date.
