Said since day 1. Which ever path they choose, its going to upset a lot of people. The only way everyone wins morally is if the season is played over the course of summer and into next season. Id ditch the cups next season if needed, to save a few weeks. Could even have a super league for the elite and have a club world cup for the rest of the leagues
Certainly believe its fairer to ruin next season which hasn't started, as opposed to ruining this one that is 75% completed

Your opinion would be different if Derby were 7 points clear and you were sat in mid table. Think about the bigger picture, not just your own clubs situation and you might realise why your viewpoint is pretty selfish.
Pals at United have been told to expect to work from home for 11 weeks (this a week ago). I know in this climate everyone knows someone so do with that what you will. I think if the government are offering to subsidise wages for an initial period of up to 3 month also, then imo we are in the very infancy of social distancing and I would not expect to see any football for another 2 months (just my opinion)
Would people prefer games behind closed doors to bring the season to a close sooner? That then opens up questions RE season ticket holders, although I imagine they won’t be so high up in the thought process.
Club world cup for League 2 clubs?

I don't see why anyone finds it so hard to grasp. You can't all of a sudden just say to someone, "ok, you might have a contract of employment but we are going to stop stop you working anyway. Despite the fact that for the rest of the season this would have been completely above board and legal...."
I get people's desperation based on their clubs current situation, but come on.

Because they are FREE AGENTS. If a players contract had run out in October for whatever reason, or they'd had their contract terminated, then they'd have been completely free to have signed for and played for another team in the same league. You can't just start saying, "oh we've changed our mind now".
You can't just decide midway through a season that you want to change the criteria a player needs to play for a club.

I don’t think it’s as simple as just waiting until it can be played as squads will change which contravenes the league rules of registering players. Players contracts will run out etc etc.
It’s not as simple as people think it will be or want it to be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure that was the if html about when they had their meetings and decided to extend indefinitely. There's a very easy way around it. Players continue to be paid on a week by week basis, basically on an ongoing weekly contract. No transfer or agreements allowed, until the agreed time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You’re assuming players aren’t wanting move clubs? It would have to be a global decision to work
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not. I'm assuming they aren't allowed as no transfer window open.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’d be very surprised if the majority agreed on that tbh
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wouldn't, considering the PFA were involved in the meeting where they decided to extend indefinitely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The PFA have no say on whether a player is able to move at the end of his contract. None. Everyone might say they want to complete, doesn't make it any more plausible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course it does, which is why they decided to extend the league indefinitely.

What?!
If this went on past the 30th June there is nothing to stop an out of contract Aston Villa player going to another Premier League club and then going on to score the goal that relegates them.

Does anyone really care right now (answer to OP Headline)

Probably not massively unless you’re a Liverpool or Leeds fan. But most of us have got a lot of time on our hands at the moment!

everyone wants to see the league completed with 75% of it having been played. worrying about players rights to sign a new bigger contract with some other team is kind of strange.

To be fair that is one thing that can be stopped quite easily. A player may be out of contract but it is easy to stop them being available for another side.

How is it easy? You’d need all the governing bodies of football to agree to completely change how football contracts are done, on a temporary basis.

I don't see why anyone finds it so hard to grasp. You can't all of a sudden just say to someone, "ok, you might have a contract of employment but we are going to stop stop you working anyway. Despite the fact that for the rest of the season this would have been completely above board and legal...."
I get people's desperation based on their clubs current situation, but come on.

Because they are FREE AGENTS. If a players contract had run out in October for whatever reason, or they'd had their contract terminated, then they'd have been completely free to have signed for and played for another team in the same league. You can't just start saying, "oh we've changed our mind now".
You can't just decide midway through a season that you want to change the criteria a player needs to play for a club.

I don’t think it’s as simple as just waiting until it can be played as squads will change which contravenes the league rules of registering players. Players contracts will run out etc etc.
It’s not as simple as people think it will be or want it to be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure that was the if html about when they had their meetings and decided to extend indefinitely. There's a very easy way around it. Players continue to be paid on a week by week basis, basically on an ongoing weekly contract. No transfer or agreements allowed, until the agreed time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You’re assuming players aren’t wanting move clubs? It would have to be a global decision to work
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not. I'm assuming they aren't allowed as no transfer window open.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’d be very surprised if the majority agreed on that tbh
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wouldn't, considering the PFA were involved in the meeting where they decided to extend indefinitely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The PFA have no say on whether a player is able to move at the end of his contract. None. Everyone might say they want to complete, doesn't make it any more plausible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course it does, which is why they decided to extend the league indefinitely.

Based on common sense. If not then they may just do as they would do in the January window and anything is fair game. But i would highly doubt that.
