    Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor says halves of less than 45 minutes are being considered when football resumes.

    Because we all know its not infectious for the first seventy minutes!

    Why can't the players just wear those big bubbles that we sometimes see kids in at Oakwell?

    Or maintain the 2m gap by connecting the players up like table football.

    Our back four a usually pretty good at maintaining a 2 metre gap - usually when their number 9 is the 6 yard box.

    Those in charge of our national game have no idea. Even if all the ideas such as swab testing, behind closed doors, neutral grounds etc happen it still won't work. Unless of course you make football a no contact sport, keep it slow paced so people aren't breathing as heavy and play at walking pace so people don't sweat as an added risk to others.

    They'd try anything as long as it brought them money in, greed has no bounds when it comes to the powers that be in football

    This would involve the season being completed under different rules than those which applied for the bulk of the season. As Sprotbrough Red says it's all about money.

    We should have one player per team nominated to hit the crossbar ( no need for a goalie then) as many times as they can in say 5, 10.mins. Add those scores onto the totals and problem solved.
    Fixed cameras as well. No need for a ref, safe as houses!

    Isn't this more to do with fitness and being able to play more games in a shorter period of time? Same with the extra subs idea.

    Its probably quite a logical idea but as with something that changes the norm just looks daft later on

    2 mins each way, 11 subs each

    Yet some still believe playing the season out is the priority. FFS

    He sounds like George on Rainbow. Can't take him seriously at all.

    It doesn't sound like Rick Parry is in favour of a no relegation option. He was saying that Premier League relegation must still go ahead, but this same principle surely will apply lower down as well.

    Not how I read it. He thinks 3 teams should be promoted from the championship. But would be too messy to relegate any from the premier. If no conclusive decision can be made before July 31. That lies with the premier league to discuss. Not the EFL who he is in charge of.
    In other words the EFL cannot decide anything concrete until the PL get their act together. Don’t hold your breath.

    Just been reported that,to connect with the fans, they will restart matches playing goalie when needed and a random players' mother will shout "Your teas ready" at a random point signalling the match will be decided by next goal winner :)

    I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

    He added that it could get "very messy" if the threat of relegation from the top flight was removed - as has been reported.

    "The Premier League is aware of our position on that," he stated, going on to suggest "lawyers are going to get wealthy" if the Premier League opted not to relegate three teams.

    "There would be a degree of outrage from a number of clubs in the Championship and it would be a breach of the tripartite agreement," Parry continued.
