Postponements & Loan Players (2 Viewers)

[edgy]

When do our loan players go back to there parent clubs?

Let's say the season is postponed. We're still playing games into June potentially without Walsh, O'Hare, McCallum & Giles. Could we cope losing those four?

they will 100% want to play till the season ends, what a fantastic time to be on loan at Coventry City football club they wont want to miss the remaining games lets hope the situation gets sorted out

They may want to play. But parent clubs may well become very protective of their assets.

I don’t see what difference a few weeks make - I assume they’d be available for play off finals wouldn’t they? The season is unlikely to stretch much beyond that anyway

Exactly! What happens if some of their first teamers have coronavirus and they want their players back?

I can see this fucking us over.

We have plenty of squad depth stop being so dramatic

That depends on whether you think a few weeks suspension will achieve anything. This virus wont disappear in a month. It's still be here in April. Then what postpone again? and again?

As posted in the other thread, realistically the only way this season get completed is if it's played behind closed doors or the season gets extended well into the summer and beyond.

So they self isolate for 1-2 weeks and then continue. What happens if all 4 of Bristol city's midfielders get injured in a massive training ground tackle, are they recalling Walsh? No.

And if their players got it then they would have to sell isolate so why bring Walsh in to that? The panicking on here is ridiculous

So nothing in the EFL until at least 4th April then!

The panic is rife because as each hour passes, it's looking more and more likely that we arn't getting promoted this season.

Depending on how long it goes on, perhaps next season could be null and void and the time used to complete this one? Teams are always complaining about too many games.

Other option is to postpone the Euros for a year so the top tier clubs to finish this season and start next season with a rest on time. For us (where internationals won't matter) I'd suggest a year without the cup cometitions (or at leaast the likes of Checkatrade and League Cup) to give us more matchdays next year so we can start next season late and catch up over the year.

Just drop the tin pot cups and exhibition game some teams play.

Allen can replace o’hare
Mason can replace mcallum
Don’t need to replace Giles,
Shipley can replace walsh.

still leaves Westbrooke, Jones and pask can play CM.

more than good enough players to get us through the last few games if it happens

 

[Cigarfingers]

I'd think as the agreement is 'to the end of the season' it would naturally just extend until the season finishes due to the less than normal circumstances of the current campaign

 

[wingy]

Think the only way this becomes an issue is if the response between the different leagues becomes fractured.

 

[Sick Boy]

We have plenty of squad depth stop being so dramatic

To cover the quality of O’Hare and Walsh and time have the options off the bench that have been essential, we don’t.

 

[Somerset Sky Blue]

To cover the quality of O’Hare and Walsh and time have the options off the bench that have been essential, we don’t.

Other teams would have the same issues with loan players.
We don't have many, ccfcway is right about possible replacements.

 

[Magwitch]

The season has been suspended and when it re-starts it will be as it was when the suspension began, they are hoping to start again June/July I wouldn’t bank on that but let’s see.
