Just that? WHU 3 players/coach positive identified immediately before game; Orient 17 players positive identified immediately before game. How come covid-19 infected 17 at Orient but only 3 at WHU? Where the squads not equally spending time together as they prepared for their games? I feel a deeper...

Are there differences between how WHU are addressing covid-19 protocols and how Orient were? Does 3 v 17 demonstrate that there are benefits in the WHU approach v Orient approach?

I'd imagine the major difference is regular testing at West Ham.

I think it's only classed as cancel culture if it's done by the left. If it's the right then it's the silent majority's will.

I suppose it's another step towards your definition of a free press. The press will never be truly free until it has to print only that news which it is told to by the government. You can't have a free press when the press can print what it likes. That's about it, isn't it? Arguably any press that ...

What level have the gov't capped the furlough scheme, was it equivalent of £30k p.a? It may be a big chunk of wages, but it's not forever - and would be paid back when the club has the finances to do that. How different would that be to the Macc players who went without being paid all their wages f...

As I've posted above, I'm guessing the clubs voted against the obligation to test the players. It would have been better and make more sense to reduce wages so that money was available to test the players - with the shortfall paid to the players once this is all over. A league 2 player having 25% (...

I think it should have been a massive, £150,000 tv money incentive for Leyton to keep their players safe from covid-19 infection.

... That issue is now starting to receive academic attention, but when one looks at it, a number of issues come to the fore. One is public spending.

It's not much of an incentive for clubs to test their players when it isn't compulsory is it?

Are they interested in investing, sound more like asset strippers :shock: Buying Burnley to asset strip isn't really worth it.

Had Hendrick signed a new contract, which wasn't entirely out of the question, his value on the balance sheet would have been refreshed ( so to speak ).

There is little chance that a sensible investor would sanction that level of spend - we would have to seriously ramp up our income to generate such funds - at current cost levels that would require an income of around £190m a year - only 6 clubs manage that currently.

Being owned by a venture capital firm is very different to something like Man City. They're generally in it to make money (and quite a lot of it) in a relatively short time period.

It's happening because the EU wants it to happen that's why.
