So football is returning for the"elite" I really think this is a really stupid move ,with people still getting the virus I can't help thinking that money is taking the place of common sense. Every thing is seems to be moving to quick not just football but the whole lockdown thing again you can't help but think that it's about money. Just my opinion ,but I wondered how other people thought or am I being over careful

It is about money Gazza,the big football clubs need the games to be played to continue to make money (they can still turn a profit with games played behind closed doors),and the Government cant endlessly pay out billions of pounds each week for peoples wages,without any money coming in through taxes.

But surely it not just the " normal" person in the street who can see that or have the premier League bosses got the government in their pockets to,I don't know I've been in isolation for 10 weeks now and these things have been going round my head and the more I think about it the more it stinks

My wife is a nurse. She got tested when she got symptoms and tested positive for Covid. Not tested before despite the danger.These premier league players get tested twice a week and until this week have maintained social distancing in training. Most of these players earn more in a day than my wife in a year. Whilst they mostly stayed in their houses and then complained whilst clubs were trying to cut their wages (which if they agreed might have meant they may not have needed to play now), NHS workers and others such as those who worked in supermarkets were putting their life at risk for the rest of us. The only player who I’ve seen that has thought about his colleagues lower down is Harry Kane with his support of Orient, though there’s bound to be others we haven’t heard of. And whilst I totally agree life is the most important thing above all, I find it totally immoral how these so called stars can complain about having to play when the risk they face is way below that of most other people who don’t get tested like they do. If they don’t want to play then they don’t get paid simple. Filter the money down the pyramid and spread it out to save the clubs who need it to survive. Whilst I have sympathy for some like Troy Deeney, most normal people don’t have the luxury of refusing to work. Sorry that’s my rant of the day over.

Yes you are right it is about Money.
I cannot argue with that fact.
We do need to get out of this. but need a common sense plan.
It's very telling that Premier clubs can play but not Little Thurrock Dynamos. you would of thought they would start from the lower lot first.
So it's money.
I am now Deeply disillusioned with humanity and the moral compass.
Sorry Kris your wife had it.
Sorry anyone has had it.
I fully support the NHS and wider Health community.....
On the up side Land values might drop. 6 Acres might come in handy.
Plus player wages might come to a more sensible valuation post this.
Football finances need common sense.

That's a good thought Ant , could be a silver lining , but what a terrible price to pay.
I must say I'm surprised that there is more in the media about how stupid it is to bring football back,but there again maybe they don't want to upset the money men ?

Don't bring up the Media.
They always have an agenda.
All I want is the safest way out of this. least amount of deaths least harm to anyone and everyone. The last point about the land values was just to put a different slightly positive angle out there rather than the negativity in MSM and at the top of society.
It is better to build and keep alive than destroy.
Football will return but I feel it will be in August 2021.
