Agents are going to love that. Which is no bad thing in my opinion. No doubt they'll be looking at legal action if they can't make coin over the summerEasily solved by not opening the transfer window or not allowing new registrations. The option at the moment for players is they stay with their current club or they have no club at all.
Using us as an example how many players will want to walk away from a potentially title winning season. That's potentially a once in a career thing.

It's a poor way to end the season, think it would be better to end it now on a ppg basis, at least the season would have culminated in front of paying fans.
I can’t imagine if they set up a just giving page for agents it would be very busy they are parasites
I wanna watch the game at yours mate from a distance of 2 metersHow can anybody think Cov games, real Cov games available to stream for anybody would be a bad thing. I'd be absolutely buzzing in full kit off my tits. Smashing up my own bathroom, smoke bombs in the lounge hoying bags of shite at the missus.
Why is it a poor way to end the season and why would it be better now to end it on a ppg basis? At least by playing behind closed doors clubs get the income from iFollow - which I can see vastly increasingly in popularity with fans of clubs in the EFL. I don't see the logic from a financial perspective ending the season now as this would leave clubs without any source of income for months.
This would be the best outcome in the end the EFL will do as the Premier League tells them
If we score I'm gonna hug the dog and go mental. I don't even have a dog, whose dog is this and why is it painted sky blue? Who gives a shit, don't you know pump it up the city's going up.I wanna watch the game at yours mate from a distance of 2 meters
Might still be ended if the cases etc don’t drop off they will have no choiceIt's a poor way to end the season, think it would be better to end it now on a ppg basis, at least the season would have culminated in front of paying fans.
Throw the team the best party imaginable when we're allowed to.Winning a league in empty stadiums watching on the iPad is a bit poor but what can we do
Where have you heard that? I physically don't see how that can be true
It would be infinitely better than watching us squandering our lead ‘which could easilyWinning a league in empty stadiums watching on the iPad is a bit poor but what can we do
That looks like a dodgy site that's probably intending to stream them on for free.
Nah, it’s Onefootball but I have the app installed and it makes getting a link to the same story on their website a PITA. I can guarantee you it isn’t a dodgy link.That looks like a dodgy site that's probably intending to stream them on for free.
No guarantee. They could say end it now with no promotion or relegation.End it now we go up, great.
Take a look at the responsible organisations, Wimbledon, US Masters, The Open, The Olympics and so many more.
This is better:That looks like a dodgy site that's probably intending to stream them on for free.
Also true. This statement is great in my eyes, let's let's play it out. Sky blues going up doing it in the most ridiculous circumstances everNo guarantee. They could say end it now with no promotion or relegation.
I found it, apart from the title it says fuck all about them being free
And last 4 days in some casesWhat, all those competitions that haven't yet got underway....
Two of those have been cancelled completely and two have been postponed. Don't think any Cov fan would want the season cancelled and you're arguing against postponing.Take a look at the responsible organisations, Wimbledon, US Masters, The Open, The Olympics and so many more.
Clearly some of you like Mr Parry refuse to accept the full nature and implications of what is going on. There is simply no way we should consider starting up football again until most of society has returned to some sort of normality.
Apart from the title, no.I found it, apart from the title it says fuck all about them being free
All EFL games to be aired live for free when football returns
Live coverage of all English Football League games is to be made available for free when football returns.
Fans of clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two will be able to watch their clubs with games set to take place behind closed doors.
In an open letter published on Friday, EFL chairman Rick Parry admitted that there is still no timeframe on when games can return or when fans can attend matches again.
“To give you an honest assessment of the current situation; the point at which you will be able to attend games again remains unclear,” Parry wrote.
“Please be assured, however, that we are going to welcome you back to stadiums as soon as it is safe to do so. Your contribution to the matchday experience and atmospheres created in stadia up and down the country is something we should never take for granted. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you today when football will resume, though whenever we do return, matches are likely to be played without crowds.
“We will endeavour to bring live football direct into your homes once it returns. Plans are continuing to be worked up for all games to be broadcast either via our broadcast partners, iFollow or equivalent Club streaming services.
“We will update you on this once we know when matches will recommence.”
Clubs across the EFL are eager to complete their seasons, with many facing insolvency as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
It remains to be seen how many clubs are confident of completing 2019/20 without receiving any more matchday revenue.
That the sensible decision so don’t expect Parry to do that.use points per game average for the rest of the season promote the teams on that basis no relegation so increase the leagues size until next season will sort the possible legals out.
Give it a rest already. They want to play out the season, he’s said that’s what he wants. You can’t expect anything definitive when literally no one knows anything definitive.Once again Mr Parry has made a completely useless statement full of hot air and absurdity with no clue to what they are going to do. This moron is about as thoughtful as a retailer in a Chinese wet market. Still clinging to the hope games can be played out with scant regard to public health. The government just announced a further lock down period. What in Mr Parry's mind makes him think players can come back, stadiums open up with all the staffing required to do so, travel up and down the country for football teams to away games in a bus, stay over in hotels, and all the rest of the logistics. Not to mention players getting in to train for at least 3 weeks to get match fit before they even kick a ball? What planet is this guy on? You at best would totally disrupt the following season for all sorts of reasons. Clubs need to figure out their finances, transfer windows, contracts, the whole nine yards.
Call it now, PPG to finish it, no relegations. It's just 9 games remaining from 44. Momentum has gone, it would be like starting a new mini season likely to be seen as unfair as it could drastically effect results markedly different from those of the first 35 games.
When it's safe to do so the new season can start, concentrate on that. Hand out the prize money, the money from the Premier league (rumoured to be £125/135m) teams need now, and lessen the certain burden of risk to all players, staff and associated people it would take to try and finish the season anytime soon. Take a look at the responsible organisations, Wimbledon, US Masters, The Open, The Olympics and so many more.
I will be gutted to see the season ended this way but it's the logical thing to do.
