Quite a small amount in all honesty.....didn’t Germany have more? Six too many. I never said it wasn’t .....it’s only a very small amount considering the amount of tests carried out

6 positive tests from 748 in the PL. Quite a small amount in all honesty.....didn’t Germany have more? I can't remember off the top of my head but yeah it was in the same ball park at the least.

Bundesliga have confirmed a total of 10 positive cases across all clubs since testing began. This is in a country that handled the outbreak far better than we did in the first place. What happens to those players and staff now and any subsequent players they've been in contact with? My guess is they won't be too arsed with it as things stand, it's if they keep finding more?

I’d imagine the authorities were expecting more tbh ...It will be monitored and managed according Dynamo Dresden in bundesliga 2 are currently 2 weeks behind the others due to positive testing but the bundesliga feels it can cope with it The same will apply here I reckon

Two weeks in and most teams will be loads more match sharp and if it is the English league, with three games in a week, that could make a huge difference. It's all well and good the Bundesliga saying they can cope but what about equal and fair competition? Supposing that was us and when we kicked back in, we end up having to go to Wigan (third game in), a huge 6 pointer and they are three games more sharper than we are through no fault of our own?

I also thought that they did a noble thing, but do we know if it had to be unanimous Surely a 23/1 vote meant Vale changing their stance was irrelevant ,? Even so it's better than the clash of egos currently going on with League one chairmen Not 100% as its not clear in reports but think it has to be unanimous. Relegation wasn't agreed because 4 clubs voted against it so if Vale had kicked off they'd have only had to convince the three teams below them. Saw the Northampton Chairman (last playoff spot) on SSN too who basically thanked Vale for the stance they took and admitted if it was the other way around he'd unlikely have taken the same stance. I'm tempted have a fiver on Vale going up next year as their Chairwoman seems to have the right 'DNA' in spades.

I'm stunned that they're stunned by it, to be honest!
Did they think they could all just trot to the game straight from home (where there could be asymptomatic carriers), play a contact sport that involves lots of physical contact, heavy breathing etc. and then go straight home afterwards again? If even one player/member of staff tests postive then the whole club has to self-isolate, so why would they even want to chance their players being at home where there's a greater chance of picking it up than if they were completely self-isolating as a team unit? The only way they can realistically stay at home for that 2 weeks beforehand would be to instruct their wives/girlfriends/kids to never leave the house at all at any point in those 2 weeks, so it was true "self-isolation" as a household unit.
Imagine how fucked off you'd be if you were a bin dipper and all the players tested negative running up to it and then half the 1st team come down with it just 2 days before the season resumes because they picked it up off their kids who were out at the park and inadvertently caught it.....although (as long as they only got very mild symptoms and they all survived obviously, wouldn't really wish it on anyone), that actually would be quite funny....so fuck it, sod quarantine off.

At this rate I can't realistically see the season starting before July.

I cant help but think all of the indecision is helping to get the decisions to a point that will put football to a date of not being able to be completed.
Never in my life have I ever known a decision about a decision take so long.
All are in it for themselves so there will very rarely be a perfect outcome, zero leadership in these leagues and this is where the efl should not consult but state this is the decision. 8 weeks about a decision, 3 weeks thinking about the decision, 3 weeks to decide on the decision, 3cweeks to oppose the decision..oh by the way we have run out of time for football. Decision by all those to finish now because no time to complete the season is the winner.

It’s surely getting to the point now where if there was a vote to end the season in the championship it would be very close🤔 The top 2 Play off teams The 5 above the relegation zone A couple more and you’d have over the 50%

Wait until the litigation of injuries, covid cases, lost revenue starts up, unfair decisions.
It will far outweigh the cost of the fat cats having to pay back lost tv money.
It needed to be stamped on straight from the start, unfortunately clubs were given a glimmer of hope by the govt that mentioned " well it would be nice to have football on".
Given the choice of reduced tv revenue or facing a small contribution to support the pyramid of football there should have been no argument.
It shows no parity when lower and ladies leagues cannot go on yet despite the difficulty and costing of attempting to even train through covid conditions the fat cats get to carry on. Shows that split governing bodies in sports do not work. Hopefully this pandemic will see a merging of such, tennis looking at it, darts looking at it,

Using current positions and ending the season early certainly doesn’t uphold the ‘integrity’ they keep banging on about, since any club who is in the top 2 isn’t guaranteed promotion until all 46 games are completed, and anyone in the bottom 3 could still survive with a good run in.

Yeah as their budget will incorporate the money coming in.....slash it and many people will become redundant and the players will become free agents as the club isn’t meeting its obligations in regards wages etc They’ll have relegation clauses inserted but nothing that will cover this

It either needs finishing or voiding Anything else is a mockery absolutely it does, that way we can all just relax and start to think about football in September when hopefully some normality will resume Just one idea though, they could always promote the teams in promotion positions but relegate no team. This would mean an over inflated premier league of 22 and some odd numbers further down but most teams would be happy surely.

Are our players back in training?
Just seen a convoy of them driving from Stoke through Cheshire, around 4.30ish.
