Re: FV Recruitment Model
To be fair, siding with the supporters during the KA debacle was really just siding with sanity and decency.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 4:29 pmSJM's always one to come down on the side of the supporters (most notably during the Anderson situation). I wonder if now having to toe the club line might conflict him a little?
As for binning off the U23s, I get it: at 18 players need to be ready to play or be sold for a profit. Any that we think aren't quite there but could be very soon can be loaned out for competitive football. Sounds sensible.
Lee and Phillips were big parts of the first Bolton team I supported and I hope they still warrant a role in this new approach but, with no inside knowledge, that's just sentimentality. If they're not needed, we need to move forward.

Young left-back Jordan Boon (19; 20 in November) leaves the club - for Sweden, on work placement.

Re: FV Recruitment Model
The possibility of all football being suspended indefinitely is increasing with UEFA meeting on Tuesday to discuss all football at domestic, European and international level.
Should this happen - and given this is likely to be for a period of more than a few weeks - is there any chance we will escape relegation?

Maybe leave it as it is, then when the virus buggers off maybe play the playoffs.
There's going to be some pretty pissed off teams either way but who knows.

No way they can do that.

Carry on playing - risk is that players get it forcing games off anyway or governments ban it anyway.
Suspend games with hope of completing season later/over summer when infection rates MAY be lower.
Cancel season and reset next season, as you were.
I can't see how they can leave league tables as they are and relegate and promote teams based on unfinished leagues - legal challenges would destroy EFL and premier league.

Re: FV Recruitment Model
The only fair option is postponement, surely. Shift the Euros to next summer, finish this season in June.

I liked the suggestion of a possible banner at Old Trafford next season

Re: FV Recruitment Model
But your assumption is season could be finished in June. This thing isn't a few weeks - as politicians keep saying today this is a long term problem. We're trying to slow spread out over summer - will football be feasible in June? Possibly but not definitely. Then what?truewhite15 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 2:59 pmThe only fair option is postponement, surely. Shift the Euros to next summer, finish this season in June.

Re: FV Recruitment Model
It's not looking good for sporting events with football seeming to will follow sooner than later. Will Bolton's game V Peterbrorough be played of postponed, or even played behind closed doors. What ever does happen at this stage in the season could be worry for the club once again.
Do FV have the finances to keep the club afloat during these difficult circumstances, what if the season has to be placed on hold?
They are worrying times for people like myself who are in their 60s with respiratory problems. Should Saturday's game go ahead, do I attend?
By following the current trend will all games be postponed for a couple of Months? What ever happens will make one hell of a mess to sporting fixtures.
Stay safe folks.

Re: FV Recruitment Model
Imagine the scenes if the season is declared null and void.
I think the EFL would implode at the thought we might not go down. I would shudder to think what would be said.
Leeds missing out again, Liverpool missing out on the Premier League and we stay up to play league one next season.
Some seriously sadistic football gods if that happens.

Re: FV Recruitment Model
That is a probable outcome, more so as these day's progress. Scary times.
Re: FV Recruitment Model
It puts a couple of teams playing our kids into perspective. Then again, so do our results with a senior pros team!

Season likely to be suspended until 4th April apparently. Situation will be reviewed after that date.

Indeed. And when was the last time Matthews caught anything?

Re: FV Recruitment Model
It's an amusing idea but what's less chucklesome is how likely we are to get all 91 (sadface) teams through - what, a month? Two? Three? - of no income. Yes, they manage through summer, but they can plan for that.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 11:01 amAre they going to dock themselves 12 points, for being unable to fulfill fixtures?Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 11:00 amThis has been confirmed by the EFL.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 10:31 amSeason likely to be suspended until 4th April apparently.

Most businesses outside the big 'uns (and even some there) are run on a just-in-time, month-to-month basis. Most of them don't have overwhelming overheads and, in the case of many Championship clubs, wages exceeding turnover. Don't be surprised if the financial shakedown from this makes the summer Bolton/Bury show seem like a warm-up.
Some very big decisions to be made. Do TV companies decide to pay their rights slices up front for games they've not yet shown and may not get rearranged? How would their shareholders feel? There's going to be a lot of footballers going unpaid, and while I know they're not exactly drenched in public sympathy, this could cause a few clubs to wobble alarmingly.
