    The reality is that it's quite possible that if the club does lose £15 million then it would technically be insolvent based on last years accounts (from memory). That means running out of cash.

    It's all too easy to criticise those in charge when its not you making the difficult decisions.

    Government are using football and the top players to deflect from the f*ck up they have created.

     

    How about we point the finger at tax dodging companies and individuals who are the ones really responsible for the fact the NHS has been starved of cash and equipment and staff for the last ten years.

    Just to add to this, i live in the Midlands and i know a number of the Wolves players (most Portuguese) are back in Portugal and have been since before the lockdown. At what point will they be able to travel again?  I beleive that Farke is or was back in Germany too. They all have family to consider.

    Its a certainty that any travel across borders once lockdwon is relaxed, will require some sort of health certificate, possibly for a year or two.

    I cannot see football being allowed to bypass any new travel restrictions in place.

    There will come a point when finishing this season actually costs the game more money than cancelling it, as it will impact on next season.

    Its impossible to finish one season and go straight into the next as drawing up new contracts for many things, organising dates for all next season matches ( which must be a huge job in itself as there are others outside football to consider in that) all have to be done.

    How long are they prepared to consider going past 30 June in finishing the season? I would suggest that is the common sense cut off point in every respect.

    The furloughed salaries to be repaid by the Government is up to a maximum of £2,500 per month per person. It would be political suicide for any Govt to promise to cover footballers high wages whilst many others are limited to the basic wage pacakage offered to all other companies.

    Playing just half the matches next season whilst completing this season means they would lose half of next season's money but still receiving the 25% of outstanding monies for completing this season. That makes no financial sense at all.

    A football club is like any other business, if the cannot pay their players wages, they will either have to make them redundant or come to some agreement about only paying percentage of their salary.

    Its football's moment to put its finances back in order and back in the real world.

    There will be a significant wealth tax have to be applied the world over to pay for the damage this pandemic has done if it goes on for many months.

     

    As much as we all love our football, in the scheme of things right now, it's not very important.

    I wonder if Sky (and all the other TV companies around the world) and thus the PL will say to teams you have only played 29 of 38 games so you will only get 29/38 of the money for this season?

    That will make our transfer policy look like genius and i bet there are a number of PL clubs currently concerned that may happen (which is why we hear this insistence of finishing the season) and financial fall out as a result.
