https://twitter.com/ProfKarolSikora Seems to be a more positive, informed outlook than many.

Suggesting a return to normal, including mass gatherings by June 1.
June 1? On what basis?

I only know what he's tweeted and what is his opinion. It's based on the peak being this weekend, or at least very soon.

But... he has been very positive throughout and built a bit of a following from being a positive, informed "voice of reason" so the caveat is that he may be playing to that.

Alan Nixon:

Players off until May 16. Full season to complete inside 56 days. Play offs retained. Home and away semis. All closed doors. Players must be paid. Prem rescue cash NOT being handed out yet. Up to clubs to have a say on all this. Parry has put a lot of though into this. Fair play.

Be a tough call for lower league clubs to pay players with no gate income.
Unless that's what the prem rescue cash will cover

Rescue cash, me hairy arse. Some owners will trouser that and shut their club down.

There’s going to be some mighty fallout from this.

I presume there will be an Ifollow style of subscription for fans. Clearly its not going to be anything like gate receipts but at least there would be some income for clubs.

Not going to generate anywhere near a normal matchday revenue I doubt, will certainly help.
Interesting times ahead, if they arent already.

I do agree but the usual matchday costs will be also be less, no need for police or the matchday staff for example.

It's not additional funds. It's the solidarity payments from August brought forward to April. It simply defers the problem.

If they do finish it behind closed doors and show it online, we should have a virutal TEF thingamybob and watch it together. It's all the rage nowadays.

I don't think it's viable for FL to return behind closed doors. June 1, in front of crowds would be my guess.
