    To be honest I admit I have enjoyed the football being back on TV....we need something to lift the spirits in this pandemic. Also enjoyed the recent Eng v West Indies cricket. It’s not great.....but it’s better than nothing....

    It's all very well saying scrap theseason or hold it back but what happens to the people who work for the club? Furlough them all? I don't think Austin would be too happy with that though the cleaners probably wouldn't mind. TV money is keeping the clubs afloat.

    It would be helpful if a salary cap was put on all clubs outside the Prem and the Prem clubs all agreed to put £10m into a £200m fund to be dished out amongst the other 70 clubs on a pro rate basis in regards to each club’s average attendance and turnover.

    A minimum of £1m per club and if they can’t live on that in Leagues 1 and 2 then that’s their own problem.

    The Prem should be helping though.

    Maybe if each Prem club “adopted” a club from each of the other divisions and worked with them with players and funding it would help now and in the future.
    Mick a few years back a League 1 player lived a few doors away and whilst there my lad's football club had a matchday experience including a tour of the stadium where we were told the salary for a player was £100-150k! Nice idea for the PL to donate, probably needs to be a lot more and player wages to be capped there too.

    If there's no fans allowed WCV then the televised money from the Premier/Championship should help fund those clubs who are reliant on match days funds. It's only fair! To be honest after seeing a brilliant match today - Harrogate v Notts County the football is more entertaining and wow - there's some talent out there! My view is - if you are deadly in front of goal does it matter which division it is - as you are either ruthless or a donkey!
