Think this is a scaled down version of what was on SSN.earlier today. Didn't see it myself, it was brought to my attention by someone else. Anyhow apparently the fitness coach is in isolation due to the track and trace app telling him that he had been in contact with someone in Cleethorpes, also that he had to take Danny Rose off on Saturday due to a tight hamstring, which wouldn't have happened if we we're allowed 5 subs, and that Fenty missed his first game in 20 years on Saturday, due to the current circumstances, which for him probably wasn't a bad thing!

Interesting he says....

"i told my chairman we should have voted for it " ( 5 subs) but it was voted against as clubs were in fear of additional appearance money if more players take to the field.
I do wonder if that means we also voted against it as a club ?

I think it's a no brainer not to have it! It will obviously give an advantage to the larger clubs and ending up with them stockpiling even more of the better players.

Doubt it. They never can. Usually after alcohol

Completely agree with GrimRob. Those clubs with money will continue to hoover up ever more talent.  How can a small club take on a bigger one, who will have an incredibly strong bench? The big clubs have huge squads and I actually think squad numbers, those in the youth team etc should have their numbers capped much lower.

I don't think it will mean anything to us as we will not play in the top league again.

But unlike some we did play in it and more than held our own most of the time.

It would apply right down football. Even when we were non-league there were plenty of clubs spending much more money than us. Thankfully there are many players who actually want to play rather than just sit in the stand, but the more players who actually get the satisfaction of being involved and getting on the pitch the less attractive a contract at a lesser paying club is.

Ridiculous idea, these clubs and ours have massive squads, no need just rotate the squad.

Interesting that clubs are wanting five subs because they’ve picked up a few injuries, they voted against keeping 5 before the season with many saying it disrupted the game too much.

Interesting that a few clubs, which I assume includes us, aren’t in favour because of financial reasons? Begs the question, why moan about injuries, Covid, the weather, training, the wrong grass, too many games etc when surely the more subs would, in theory, help with that?
