Said this before,just cannot believe all those executives that run the different leagues did not have any agreed plans for what the different scenarios would be before the season started. That way everyone knows where they stand.


Think you are assuming a degree of competence not previously shown in these people.

Never rule out self-interest in football management.

"In the coming days" was the phrase I saw in a couple of articles. It will have to be soon I would have thought.

It's down to the DCMS whether they will turn loans into grants, but I can't see why they would as they will then be asked by everyone else from the other sports they cover why football is getting special treatment. I think Rugby League was given a loans package, not grants, and there are others out there struggling for funding.

If they don't get the grants they need, some clubs will want to soldier on, but most won't.

There was a scheduled meeting of the NL today to discuss the situation according to reports, but no news forthcoming yet. Suspect there is some lobbying of MP's going on.

You're probably right, but I can't see the govt. moving from loans. They were reluctant in the first place to give grants, the govt. also tended to manipulate what they said after they've given hope to the NL

IMHO a government u-turn is unlikely. If they were to u-turn it would also have implications on other sports that have had to accept loans such as Rugby League.

Entirely selfishly I do hope you are right. Fingers crossed.

That was my thoughts too and not just Rugby. There are loads of other sports out there wanting financial backing. However, there is an argument that shutting down 66 football teams and associated staff will cost the government more than if they just gave them the 11 million in grants, and I think that is the point they will make. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

I wonder if the govt. will stick to their argument of let prem pay.
