In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Rodgers: "I have 3 envelopes with the names of people who will catch it."
There are loads of people quoting that, and an apparent rule that the league is null and void if suspended for 65 days, but I've not seen anyone post the proof for the rules that show either.
I just don't understand why it hasn't been suspended.
It's not going away, players have it and fans have it. It will be suspended after this round of fixtures at any rate, or after the next one. It's just delaying for no reason and risking exposing more people to it and spreading it more widely. I'm honestly baffled.

Netherlands top 2 tiers of football fixthres has also been postponed now.
If it’s not suspended they’d better name the players, FF points are at stake!!
No no it's not official. I said "if". They can keep it vacant or they can award it to the holder I guess (Chelsea) but they aren't in the competition this year. So I don't know what they will do.

Money.
Just looking at this threads initial posts and the posts going a few pages back shows how badly people have underestimated this virus.
Not to say its the end of the world or anything. But you'd think China's rapid acceleration (even considering tampered numbers possibly) in infections and inability to cope with it infrastructure wise would serve as precedent for peoples expectations

Yeah, baffled is the word.
It's a no brainer really... but as long as the govenrment keep fecking around, the PL won't do a thing.
Wtf is that all about.
I’m still taking the necessary precautions. Not that I didn’t wash my hands before Coronavirus.
Please read up. Especially replies to a poster called ManchesterYoda. Your baffled mind will be alleviated.
EDIT: For some reason I saw "has" and not "hasn't" in your first paragraph

Actual figures for today are 590 and so the above forecast is pretty accurate
Where he says literally the exact opposite of what I'm saying?
I said look at other peoples REPLIES to his first post with a graph. Many have said why suspending events are necessary and much more.
EDIT: sorry sorry, I read your post completely wrong.
I as you wereMate, read what I posted.
I said I'm baffled it HASN'T been suspended.
I'm arguing for the proactive suspension of, ultimately, pointless events not against it!
Selfishly hoping this weekends fixtures go ahead so we can batter spurs while they're a mess. Dont think we'll get the chance to.
Yeah, I help spread that one myself. Now I'm less than sure it's genuine
The FA most likely didn't plan for a global pandemic of this magnitude and have no idea how to proceed as a result.
Yeah I edited my replies you to you saying I misread, sorry

I did ask @Bulldog United to give us the source of that rule as he was the first to bring it up so confidently, that it was so hard to not believe as true.Hope you read this Boris.
Fack sake we put on that woeful performance v Leicester on Monday when half of them were on their deathbed.
Same here
I heard it from Sky actually.
But yeah, let's blame @Bulldog United because why not?
Going tits up isn’t it.
Yes, slight understatement!
Things will be ok though, just massive, massive economic disruption coming. It's either that or the bodies piling up faster than authorities can deal with it. Need to slow the spread down.
Football season will be suspended before the weekend.
Feck
I will add that I am no expert on this, I simply worked out the average rate of increase and extrapolated out at a constant rate. I have to assume that at some point it slows down or else everyone would get it. Hopefully the measures put in place will slow it down.
Fecking hell! Just suspend the League and introduce bans on any events with crowds already.
How can we expect politicians to have learned lessons from history if they can't even learn lessons from last fecking week, it's mental

Let’s wait until they have made an announcement this afternoon.
Didn’t even think about that. I have 3 Leicester players in mine.
Clubs with tight budgets will have a hard time living through that. Not sure how the sponsoring and tv deals look like in detail but I guess they'll drop off immensely when there are no games to be played. And they still have to pay huge wage hills etc.
If the corona crisis is here to stay for a few months I wouldn't be surprised if some clubs find themselves in very very unpleasant situations, maybe even bankruptcy.
They'll let Liverpool win 2 games before suspending
