No chance it goes to FTA. They'll double down on selling limited time access to stream it as a one off, like a ppv event, instead.

Not sure about ppv events , they'd be bedlam publicly and there will be clauses In the stupidly expensive contracts between sky and bt that'll no doubt be activated upon the league recommencing
Sky can't afford to have subscribers dip further , they need to make super Sunday every day for a month or two with BT filling in the rest
Let's not forget how silly these TV deals are, neither party can really afford to take the hit on this

Sorry didn't make that clear. I didn't mean ppv to existing subscribers, they'll obviously get it as per their normal subscription, but like now tv do a daily pass, both sky & bt will do similar, but sell it for say a tenner per day if you only want to buy days when your team plays (like now) or £30/40 for the whole two/three weeks, more like a ppv event.
The UK makes 3.7bn per annum from PL footy. No way they would do that.
I know of two non league clubs who have had legal advice already.
One of the clubs had won something like 29 games out of 29 games and were just blowing everyone out of the water, and now their promotion has been voided. Awful.
Two clubs were guaranteed promotion, one being Vauxhall motors. It’s a ridiculous decision that will have long term impacts.

Will still get voided when things get worse
Stop being a slag

Maybe. The league will be voided first, though.
Its very awkward at the moment, as long as we see the numbers rising we arent going to be able to get the government to see the advantage in resuming even behind closed doors.
What do you guys think about some football players still getting paid in full considering most people in the country arent?

Not particularly bothered about that TBH as, though footballers' wages are far too high, they're not actually taking that money from anyone else. What does get my goat is the idea of Prem clubs like Tottenham furloughing their office staff and then putting them forward for Govt.compensation.
Hal has become the Pope. Everything enjoyable must stop before the climax. Pope Hal.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more anger at that. It's despicable really.

Belgian League cancelled Club Brugge declared winners.
Belgian League cancelled Club Brugge declared winners.
That makes sense with a single game left of the season.
The Belgian league has become the first major European competition to recommend ending its season with the current standings declared final because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The league says Club Brugge would be awarded the title if the advice is confirmed at a general assembly meeting on 15 April. Brugge would also qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Brugge are 15 points ahead of second-place Gent with one game to go before the season-ending playoffs.
The league management board has agreed it is unclear when team training could resume and says it is “very unlikely” any games with fans attending could be played before 30 June.
The league says even games in empty stadiums would put stress on public health and security services dealing with the pandemic. It agreed the risk of infecting players would also damage the competition’s integrity.
There are still 11 games left though. 1 + 10 in the playoffs.
They have play offs for the title???
