it is extraordinary and unprecedented situation for most of world. But I also think it is very unfair that PL clubs want to take relegation off the table. The rules are there. Yes a degree in flexibility and common sense has been applied by them slowly coming back to training and no contact training yet. Plus flexibility to when the season will start and end by clubs voting for it and no one is forcing them to rush back. Clubs have been given a vote to vote for what they want. Yes of course every club will vote for what suits that and I wouldn't expect anything else. I don't know if you seen the 2 interviews last week with Joey Barton and Gareth Ainsworth that both managers want to play on cos they think their team would have got second place but both conceded that their club owner will do what is best for their club financially. Accrington Stanley's owner is against any return to football before next season cos most of players are out of contract and doesn't want to take them of the furlough scheme. But what you don't seem to understand is that the FL and its chairman Rick Parry has given the power to the clubs and their owners to decide so no one cannot complain the season isn't done a fair manner cos its their clubs choices. Yes Sunderland and Peterborough will miss out. Whilst clubs like Wycombe and Fleetwood make the top 6. Yes Hull's Owners want their season to end but their manager want to play on now he got his players back from injury. Barnsley and Charlton want to play on and fair play to them. WBA have said publicly they want to play on. But if you read my example from before against Port Vale who was 8th in League 2 and just outside the playoffs voted to end the season. Yes there is an agreement between the Premier League and FA that they will be relegation and promotion between the PL and FL. We all know what the pandemic is and uniqueness of the situation including the clubs and players plus supporters. The PL and FL have got testing for players and so far we have minimal cases including just 2 positives test in the championship and I think just 2 in the last round of PL testing.

Hes only 28 years old. So his peak years are now. Players make the wrong decisions at times due to agent's advice and following the money. For example Rudy Gestede. Feel like Van La Parra has done the same

I have some quality food here in the UK and USA. But some of foods in the UK like takeaway or buffet is poor quality. Some good takeaways shops but alot of poor ones. I dont know where you been or how long you spend there but I find restaurants are better than buffets there. Totally agree on the Cheese point. Hate America cheese and dont have cheese when I go to McDonald's either now.

Sounds like McLaughlin is still on his way to Rovers according to Nicko and Sunderland haven't offer a new deal yet.

Wasn't Parry tho. It was the FA Chairman Greg Clarke who told PL clubs that they would be relegation this season one way or the other after press stories that certain teams want to stop any relegation this season. Its compulsory as the agreement between PL and FA when the Premier League was set up in 1991. That's why!!! The League 2 clubs have voted to end the season in Points Per Game season. Port Vale who was 8th in League 2 voted to end the season and miss out on the playoffs. The clubs have a vote. Its a fairer way as some clubs don't want to un furlough their players and let their contracts run out. League 1 clubs have a vote shortly and I would guess the majority of clubs will vote to end the season on Points Per Game system and just have the playoffs. With the top 2 going up promote. Championship clubs will vote to resume the season

He out of contract isn't he? so I would imagine he been offered to clubs in English

yes I suffered no problems when I've been to America different occasions. I agree with D.E that the worst food I experience was Buffet restaurants. I enjoyed the Breakfast food and Evening meal. Most of the time you only need 2 proper meals a day cos portion sizes. Breakfast food was like a Full English and a couple of pancakes with syrup. Evening meals I enjoyed was proper restaurant food. Buffet food not so much.

Thought he shown a lot of potential at Wolves. But since then his career has stalled. Still other 28 years old so some good years ahead under the right manager. I remember him having some pace at that time

Have you seen the system that the EFL was use to settle League 2 and League 1. Average points per game. In League 1 it would mean Peterborough would miss out on Playoffs and Wycombe would make the playoffs. But The EFL is leaving to clubs to decide by a voting that Majority wins so clubs cant complain. Some League 1 clubs have played different number of games so that has been factor in League 2 clubs have voted for this system. I think Rick Parry has shown some leadership through this entire process and honestly with clubs.

You said owners attended awards dinners? But I shown these 3 dont. Do you think Mike Ashley did at Newcastle? No so that 4 owners. No comparing owners apart from yourself

Is it what Spurs's owner Joe Lewis or Man City owner who had only 1 game in 12 years or Man Utd Owners the Glazers? These PL owners who dont. No Sparks its is yourself who is being argumentative and annoying cos you wont allow a different view or Opinion on anything I'm not bothered in our owners attending games or awards dinners. They keep funding the club and academy every year.

Did you read the piece Vinjay posted? I dont think they lack interest as Balaji's son was at the club this year. Plus paying millions of pounds each year to fund the club. Plus we have heard about the owners interest from Mowbray and Waggott about Rovers. Am I bothered if we do or dont hear from them? Not interested. I do think Q&A would be good but never going to happen

God knows. I not going to look through 92 clubs owners to see last time they spoke. The last time we heard from them is when we got promoted from league one. Just a statement. You reckon that right? Sadly it's not what I said but you posts these sort of things to get reaction.

depends on the owners of different clubs. Some talk more than others. Venkys have been burned badly from the agents thing. Not sure they will make many public statement in the future. I always said about having a Q and A once a year with them. But it will never happened. They let Waggott and Mowbray communicate with the supporters.

Sorry Matty, Yes you are right. Most owners are silent most of the time. I didn't know that Barnsley owners owned another club and looking to buy 2 more clubs including 1 in Scotland till yesterday

Most owners have been silent during this pandemic.

Premier league restart

Go where? Rovers have some very good players coming through. Burns, Brennan, Whitehall, Pike, Gent.. Supposedly we have offered Dan Pike a new contract. We want to sign Wright-Phillips permanently. We are producing players from under 18's

Yes

Well that's opinion. I will be exactly the same for me..maybe yourself

No the academy isnt waste of time at all. Plenty of good young players coming through. Do you watch the under 23's or 18's?

I have said before that I've seen behind closed doors closed games before. Of course Supporters play a huge part inside a football ground when you are there. But this is a new normal for the next few months. This is unprecedented times in our lifetime Trust me, I will feel the same when Rovers win. Nothing could change that. We havent much from UEFA on anything. This is where owners and their finances come in possible. Could the EFL afford it? Doubtful. Every Championship clubs can afford it I would guess. Below the Championship I dont know. How often would testing be need in September tiime. Tbh, we have to get through this season 1st before thinking of next season.

Rovers under 18's player Luke Brennan linked with Liverpool. source is football365. I would be disappoint if we lost him as I think he is going to be very talent player for us in the future

on Sky there is a channel just for La Liga which is 5.99 pounds per month. Via Premier Sports. 24 hours of La Liga coverage

The vast Majority of games will be shown by Sky Sports or BT. But they are talks about some games being on YouTube or BBC or Sky Freeview channel.
