To answer your question, yes there are reasons why that wouldn't work here. I'll let you try to figure out those reasons. P.S. What's wrong with one country having different guidelines than another? That's not only normal, but essential as different populations and countries need different guidelines, unless you're implying that every single country must have the exact same lockdown guidelines.

No, they wouldnt. Some teams can afford to pay players endlessly until the new season begins, others cant. Some have most of their squads on contracts for next season, some dont. 2. I've made it clear I think punishing 3 clubs this Summer is better than punishing multiples of that next Summer. Theres no proposal that doesn't see clubs punished somewhere. 3. Dundee United and Cove are promoted as Champions, it is punishment to refuse to promote them. To me its preferable that clubs staring at relegation get relegated and teams staring at promotion get promoted. 4. I'm not sure the players opinion is overly relevant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, here's one - the EPL are slaves to cash and dont give quite as much of a f**k about lives / health. To expand. The Scottish discussions have already determined that there would be a requirement for upwards of 300 people to be involved at a large (Celtic / Rangers) closed doors match. Its not all about whether players slaver or spit on one another, the safety of the staff outside of the players is also important and if any event can be staged in safety. At the moment, I can barely move around the co op safely, cant buy a coffee - so football restarting in a month? Gie me a break. None of that is anything to do with Nicola Sturgeon by the way. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You figure out why English clubs can play behind closed doors and Scottish clubs cant. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can't see why the rich clubs of the EPL, who could run without any fans at any time, can finish games behind closed doors whilst Scottish football, where matchday income makes up the majority of clubs' revenue, cannot do this? That's without touching the contract issues. P.S. It's the boots of the Tories you're licking, and you were implying plenty with your 'wee Krankie' comment.

Not quite sure what the Tories have to do with it. And for what it's worth, I rate Ms Surgeon pretty highly as a politician. But none of them are above a bit of mickey-taking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the press is to be believed, the government are actually encouraging the EPL at least to investigate an early re-start "to lift the mood of the public". Boris is a classics scholar, and will be well aware that the Roman emperors gave the plebs "bread and circuses" to keep them quiet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
