Does anyone truly believe that this government who have spent over £150billion to keep 23 million people at home during a pandemic , airlines not to fly and denied countless millions of foreigners from travellers to come to the U.K. will bale out football clubs . Not a chance . They do not see sport as a priority or even important to the government. Let’s face facts football has an image of greedy over paid tossers who care more for their Ferrari , and their image rights than the clubs they even play for Today ! . Out side of the Premier League most of the government haven’t heard of Rochdale or Crewe etc . The Efl proposed lower wages for all in League 1-2 that’s their contribution to solving the cash flow . The next will be to abandon the season altogether and restart when the “Government”. says so . We as supporters are the problem and if we keep trying to put any more pressure about restarting and asking for hand outs it will lead to the plug being pulled by the EFL .. There is NO more cash in the tin for anyone .. only years of same old same old tax and more tax .

Do you think government ministers think league 1 & 2 players are driving around in £150.000 cars and live in 6 bedroom houses worth £500.000 to a £1.000.000 ( add a bit or a lot for SE England ) I know many politicians are not living in the real world, but come on most of them are not that stupid. What we need are some serious discussions with the government about how to keep most of our Football league clubs and most top tier non league clubs alive and kicking over the next 6 months and beyond.Lower down the pyramid from tier 7 & below they should be able to sustain themselves, as the wages they play to players are very small and they are able to have spectators in their grounds. In fact they may benefit from larger crowds from supporters looking for their Saturday football fix who are unable to watch EFL or Premier League football in stadiums.We need a to create a considerable amount of pressure on Government to make them see the benefits of having restricted crowd numbers in football grounds across the country. Surely outdoor events are much safer than, pubs, Restaurants, Gyms etc etc as SS has been saying, where large numbers congregate in smaller indoor spaces.People eating & drinking can’t wear face masks but in stadiums they can. Pressure on Government is just what is needed. We need some serious leadership now from all the Football governing bodies and the PFA.

The premiership teams could go a long way to help the whole of the smaller clubs in the EFL without it costing them any more money at all, by equally distributing the Parachute payments paid for failure to three clubs by stopping it immediately and sharing the money out equally for two years to every EFL club.
