loving this post from The Athletic journalist @MJShrimper about Burnley's accounts

https://twitter.com/mjshrimper/status/1 ... 5866456064

wish I could read that article mind - anyone care to transcribe

Chester Perry

I think he's arguing points that haven't been made. It's stating the bleeding obvious that if a player doesn't want his contract extending beyond 30th June, you can't make him play. And the suggestion that this will call into question the integrity of the competition because some clubs will be wors...

By now most of you will know that Wimbledon (the Tennis tournament) has insured itself against a Pandemic for 17 years. @Uglygame asks why the game wasn't so prepared (I have only heard of Aberdeen having the requisite insurance and that hasn't registered in the media, especially the fact that come ...

Lets not - putting people at undue risk for purely economic gain - even the ultra groups have protested that they are still playing

Chester Perry

The scenario there is an agreement between the 24 Championship chairmen. It would not be agreed by the Premier League chairmen or by the players. So Leeds, for example, would tell their players that their contracts have been torn up and they would like them to sign a new contract on reduced terms. ...

Chester Perry

Won't happen because it would mean they would lose all their better players for no transfer fee. not if the scenario outlined in the article is followed It may not happen because it is being championed by those most likely to break FFP and the clubs that are more prudent don't see why they should h...

Now saying circa £20m for top teams down to bare millions for bottom end. Strange that the clubs with the wealthier benefactors get the lions share. Tv appearances will be the key I suspect - they always top that pile - no surprise they are the biggest winners here - It is the way the system was de...

I hadn't realised that the EFL are not going to advance the Premier Leagues advance of £125m to their members until a few issues are to be sorted out -

I was thinking the same thing Chester. Was expecting his in-depth summary of the accounts last week. Hopefully he is ok and well. You’ll have to fill the void in the meantime !

Other than no crowd so no atmosphere, that would be brilliant.

They would need to put some sort of fake crowd noise on.

thought they did already from time to time - some clubs definitely do

Chester Perry

I have to say this is where I am missing input from Royboyclaret - he has a wealth of knowledge and input to give - getting very worried I haven't seen a post from him in some time - he was noticeably absent when our results were published last week. Anyone know how he is?

Chester Perry

I wonder if Sky et al could promise to show each EFL team live at least once for the remainder of the season. Even those in League 2. I don’t know what they would pay the clubs per game but it would at least offset some of the predicted losses. it is pennies at that level - less than £10k I think -...

It's been a while since it happened with a high profile case, but is there an example of a club going into administration and not paying players from recent times?

There is going to be plenty of this kind of thing going on across the game at the moment - Trevor Hemmings dips his hand into his pockets again and bought another £1.7m worth of shares from himself to boost the cash flow at Preston North End - that's about 1 month's wages, so this could get repetiti...

Leeds have bet the ranch on this season, if they don't go up it will take a few years for them to re-gather themselves for another push. If they do go up I expect an announcement of a new investor very quickly
