What the hell is going on ,We are facing the biggest threat to human life since the ww2 and we still don't have people taking it seriously,We have BA and easy jet staff voulteering to work in hospitals ex health staff coming out of retirement to help and football clubs complaining about not finishing the season, let's put things into some order ,yes it's sad that the season has been cut short, but does it really matter? Instead of complaining maybe these overpaid players should be voulteering to work in hospitals I'm sure people might start respecting them a bit and not thinking of them as money grabbers,Just my thoughts and my little rant

Totally agree Gazza, how immoral is it that non playing staff at Premier League clubs are in furlough, on 80% of their wage paid by the government. Whilst the players on tens of thousands of pounds still get their full wages? Simon Jordan got it spot on on Talksport yesterday. Whatever this crisis brings if top and by that I mean Premier League players, aren’t careful then they will face a public backlash over their pay. At the moment they should be volunteering to take a pay cut to protect the wages of other people on less at their own clubs. Now that’s the end of my rant for the day

Totally agree but I believe right across society when this is all over people will have to re-evaluate what is important in life. Just the pleasure in being united with family and friends, doing the simple things like a walk in the fresh air. Money can buy you flash cars, big houses, exotic holidays etc but it can’t buy good health and peace of mind.

If football really was a community - from top to bottom - then the massively paid multi-millionaires in their mansions and Bentleys, who simply don't know how to spend the money they've got - should each be adopting a lower division or grassroots club to support financially, helping them to keep the "everyday" staff employed and paid. Just think of the personal satisfaction that could be gained from knowing that single-handedly, you had helped save the jobs at an entire club and helped preserve its town's entire football heritage.

Although I realize that a lot of footballer's support charities but they do it without getting their hands dirty most don't live in the real world and are just pampered children .I don't suppose that for 1 minute any read this forum so we can't reach those people but it would be nice to know that these points don't fall on deaf ears

Lets try and get it out there then. Let us ask for a player or players from any of the top 2 divisions to help a community football club during these hard times. Not holding out much hope but never say never.

Also how about asking for donations of support from London Clubs as it’s MAY have a better chance of success than ongoing support. A donation of a few hundred to a few thousand may have a chance of success but I won’t hold my breath. We could send letter to all the clubs just a chance
