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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can the PFA stop a player from leaving or joining a club when his contract had expired, yes or no? If anything, their job is to do the opposite and facilitate the players' wishes, as that's why players pay their PFA subs.

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. If no teams are playing then there's no where to go. during the wars how many teams were disbanded? what happened to their players? i feel the only thing that can be done if this goes on until contracts are ending is to declare the season complete and go into hibernation until we can safely start a new one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"If no teams are playing then there's no where to go"
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh ok...how?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Players are cup tied in competition so why on earth do you think that wouldn't be the case in this situation?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In these special circumstances they absolutely will, that is obvious.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on what exactly? Your own hopes that have f-ck all to do with anything?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can not stop a free agent signing for a club and being registered to play in that competition when the rules all season beforehand would allow it. How can you not grasp the fact that you're breaching numerous rules by doing that?

See above post.
There's nothing against any rules to abandon a season though, not sure what you're on about there. The FA proved as much this week.
Champers
You wouldn’t be able to apply a cup tie rule to league format.
Let’s also consider the time this would take to implement such laws wouldn’t come into effect quickly enough to even prevent this issue.
It’d be an absolute shiiiiiit show trying to get this done efficiently. It’s not easy in the slightest.
But then Cinci thinks that premier league footballers are in a similar position to people working in supermarkets, so this doesn’t surprise me that he thinks this.
The season is finished, no way will it be completed - the precedent has been set with a lower league clubs, it will be just drip fed across the whole country and all Leagues in due course - that is an almost certainty
Like the Grand National of 1993 - it’ll be known as the Season that never was

Eh? And where did i say this? In fact i explained they are polar opposites. Doesn't do you any good having to lie so boldly to point score
I'll make a quick backtrack on this as I don't think you can register players outside of a window, even if you can sign them...
-----------
The rules are you name a squad from September 1st to December 31st and February 1st to June 1st. Any other time you are free to use any player you have.
Again, timing will be key to this. If we started up in June then there shouldnt be much issue. If we go further then it will get very messy.
You were talking about shop workers having to stop due to the pandemic, you’ve implied similarities by suggesting premier league footballers should be the same. Not lies, you’re just struggling to make coherent points and end up looking stupid. As per usual.

Is it still true that if you have a free spot in your 25 man squad, you could register a free agent at any time?

Most of the talk is on the players side, but clubs wont want some players beyond the end of their contract - are we saying those players are denied the right to work and earn?
What about players already agreed contracts? Will those be broken?
What about loans?

Key workers are going to work.
Footballers arent key workers. Non key workers stay at home.
What baffles me most here is that the ones that desperately want this season ended are the same ones saying how tragic it is that clubs may fold.
The best way to save those lesser clubs is for this season to eventually end, whenever that may be and for every game to eventually be played.

These players would be quarantined prior and tested a day before the game or however long it takes to get results. None of them would go on the field with the virus.
That’s exactly what you implied. The situations are completely bloody different. Shop workers also do not have the same power to dictate to their employers either. If enough players do not want to play for their own, and family’s safety, they’ve got excellent grounds to make this case to their clubs and the leagues.

I want the season to be played to an end, but that becomes less viable as time goes on.
The only way these clubs will survive a long delay without bail outs is playing in front of crowds, again looking unlikely.

Non League teams' seasons are finished. Over. Completed. Done.
They won't be finishing those games cos there's no games to play. Do we not owe it to the wider football community to give them the best possible chance of a new and full season, or because they don't make much money shall we just say "either wait til we're done or go bust, we don't actually care."
Those clubs can't just keep paying their bills with no football, yet some seem to expect them to wait til everything else is done? Madness.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can the PFA stop a player from leaving or joining a club when his contract had expired, yes or no? If anything, their job is to do the opposite and facilitate the players' wishes, as that's why players pay their PFA subs.

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. If no teams are playing then there's no where to go. during the wars how many teams were disbanded? what happened to their players? i feel the only thing that can be done if this goes on until contracts are ending is to declare the season complete and go into hibernation until we can safely start a new one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"If no teams are playing then there's no where to go"
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh ok...how?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Players are cup tied in competition so why on earth do you think that wouldn't be the case in this situation?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In these special circumstances they absolutely will, that is obvious.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on what exactly? Your own hopes that have f-ck all to do with anything?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can not stop a free agent signing for a club and being registered to play in that competition when the rules all season beforehand would allow it. How can you not grasp the fact that you're breaching numerous rules by doing that?

See above post.
There's nothing against any rules to abandon a season though, not sure what you're on about there. The FA proved as much this week.

You wouldn’t be able to apply a cup tie rule to league format.
Let’s also consider the time this would take to implement such laws wouldn’t come into effect quickly enough to even prevent this issue.
It’d be an absolute shiiiiiit show trying to get this done efficiently. It’s not easy in the slightest.
But then Cinci thinks that premier league footballers are in a similar position to people working in supermarkets, so this doesn’t surprise me that he thinks this.

The season is finished, no way will it be completed - the precedent has been set with a lower league clubs, it will be just drip fed across the whole country and all Leagues in due course - that is an almost certainty
Like the Grand National of 1993 - it’ll be known as the Season that never was

The rules are you name a squad from September 1st to December 31st and February 1st to June 1st. Any other time you are free to use any player you have.
Again, timing will be key to this. If we started up in June then there shouldnt be much issue. If we go further then it will get very messy.

Is it still true that if you have a free spot in your 25 man squad, you could register a free agent at any time?

Most of the talk is on the players side, but clubs wont want some players beyond the end of their contract - are we saying those players are denied the right to work and earn?
What about players already agreed contracts? Will those be broken?
What about loans?

What baffles me most here is that the ones that desperately want this season ended are the same ones saying how tragic it is that clubs may fold.
The best way to save those lesser clubs is for this season to eventually end, whenever that may be and for every game to eventually be played.

These players would be quarantined prior and tested a day before the game or however long it takes to get results. None of them would go on the field with the virus.

That’s exactly what you implied. The situations are completely bloody different. Shop workers also do not have the same power to dictate to their employers either. If enough players do not want to play for their own, and family’s safety, they’ve got excellent grounds to make this case to their clubs and the leagues.

I want the season to be played to an end, but that becomes less viable as time goes on.
The only way these clubs will survive a long delay without bail outs is playing in front of crowds, again looking unlikely.

I want the season to be played to an end, but that becomes less viable as time goes on.
The only way these clubs will survive a long delay without bail outs is playing in front of crowds, again looking unlikely.

Oh yeah i agree the situation is crap right now. Pretty pointless going over it in reality until we have any kind of control on the virus.

That’s exactly what you implied. The situations are completely bloody different. Shop workers also do not have the same power to dictate to their employers either. If enough players do not want to play for their own, and family’s safety, they’ve got excellent grounds to make this case to their clubs and the leagues.

Good to see sarcasm isn't something you grasp

What baffles me most here is that the ones that desperately want this season ended are the same ones saying how tragic it is that clubs may fold.

Non League teams' seasons are finished. Over. Completed. Done.
They won't be finishing those games cos there's no games to play. Do we not owe it to the wider football community to give them the best possible chance of a new and full season, or because they don't make much money shall we just say "either wait til we're done or go bust, we don't actually care."
Those clubs can't just keep paying their bills with no football, yet some seem to expect them to wait til everything else is done? Madness.
