  • while we're focusing on what happens between now and the end of this season, that the contract issue from the 30th of June, that's gonna be hugely complex, both from the players point of view in terms of where they want to be playing at that at the turn of the summer on from a clubs point of view, which player is the Bridge club is that is the play gonna belong to?

  • There is no doubt, and I don't think it's the priority of anybody's thoughts at this moment in time.

  • But, well, there will be some very worried football players.

  • But you talk about the June 30th date.

  • Kelly from the point of view of contracts that a professional contracts for the Football League on for the for the Premier League.

  • But the contracts for the National League clubs that run out at the end of April early May.

  • We've got we've got players itself in Seoul more, many other lied to and lied.

  • One.

  • Clubs are players on load at National League clubs on Lee account to pay players till the end of April in early May.

  • They are insignificant trouble if they don't get some type of revenue cover or some type of football insurance cover that will be covered by the Premier League in these next few months.

  • And that's what I'm saying.

  • I think it's not just about the June 30th day for Premier League clubs in the F L clubs, because I think that they will look at those on.

  • I'm sure assessing with intrinsic accounts and see at this moment in time exactly what they need to survive.

  • But there is also the lower leagues beyond the F L to look at.

  • We very fortunately got promoted out of non league football last year is soul food into the Football League and in essence, left non league football behind.

  • But it will be absolutely stupid of me not to sit here and talk about the end of April early.

  • Make contracts that exist in non league football, which will become a real pressure players a real pressure for clubs they cannot afford.

  • National League clubs, National League North and South clubs today cannot afford to pay players their wages and stuff their wages.

  • We've seen what Barnet have done in the last 48 72 hours, which is making 60 people redundant on.

  • We've got to make sure that football clubs don't go to the world below the Football League and contracts an issue at the top of the game.

  • But they're also on issue at the bottom of the game.

  • Support package for football is gonna need to put in place here.

  • There's a support package for the nation being put in place by the chancellor to protect all jobs, to protect all people's incomes, to create revenue deferrals for rent and mortgages and other things that create a great pressure and worry for people.

  • But there's got to be running football for football clubs because football clubs are a huge asset in the community.

  • They bring hope, enjoy every single weekend on.

  • They've got to make sure that at the very top of the game that we come out of this crisis with the game protected right the way through to the bottom.

  • And of course that's the most important thing the health and and then the security of people who work in the game No, all of whom are very few of whom, actually those top earning Premier league players.

  • It's about protecting people all the way through just to return to this issue of wrapping up this season.

  • Jamie, you and Gary both are talking about having tea in an ideal circumstance.

  • Get this season finished across the board and you said You think that the Liverpool actually here is is the easy decision to make because they're so far clear at the top of the Premier League.

  • But because there has been that 30 year wait, do you think or do you feel slightly uncomfortable about talking about the need to get this Premier League season finished with your your Liverpool connections uncomfortable, be retweets and everybody over?

  • He's been retweeted everybody over the last week that says the league must be finished doing the officer that kicked me off.

  • I feel uncomfortable.

  • No, I don't feel uncomfortable, I said.

  • I think the fair stands at the top of the show and we covered everything.

  • We sell this shop by saying nothing is more important in the health and the girl on the violence.

  • I'm beating that.

  • But I also don't think you should hide away from the fact that how much football means stores and how important it isn't people's lives and and everyone's lives I'm not just Liverpool supporters now, right up and down the country.

  • For me, football starts when basically the Premier League or the government feels if this virus is under control and you can get back to playing football, I've got no, It doesn't bother me when that is.

  • In some ways, it's just when football starts.

  • I just feel so much of being put into this season by so many people down the country.

  • I don't know how how you could.

  • You can stop it.

  • Champions need places.

  • Mind City situation.

  • Sheffield United.

  • The think are just beyond Man United.

  • If they win the game and handed or both of them, does that mean they take the place?

  • Aston Villa got a game and and take out the bottom three.

  • There was talk of the top two in the championship going into the Premier League on.

  • Then everyone's happy.

  • There's no relegations anyway through the divisions.

  • Well, how would fold field?

  • They're only five or six points behind.

  • I think leads West Bronx leads blew that last year when they were in the same position, so there's so many questions really around.

  • So if you stop the league now we all take our positions on.

  • I just think the Premier League all the effort, whoever it may be that the owners get involved, People were getting sued, left, right and center.

  • I had the hot zone, I think, a few days ago saying exactly the same.

  • I think the hair club, bottom of the SPL at that time as well on I just think it's going to be an absolute mess, really throughout the league, I want to say Liverpool's be the easy bit insulate.

  • I'm not saying you should be given the lead because for me, if the league doesn't carry on, it just it doesn't feel right.

  • Something's not quite right about that.

  • Yes, we all know Liverpool where or I'm going to go on and when the lady needs a bit, I think probably one or two games.

  • But if the league stops, it just doesn't feel right.

  • Yes, no, Maybe given the lead, that's what people say about there must be something there that it just didn't feel quite right about it.

  • That's not gonna affect Liverpool economically or what division that in or may be effective for a few years.

  • Teams going up the primitive really struggled to get back into the Premier League.

  • That could affect the team for four or five years.

  • If leads don't get up this season, that could stop them for the next four or five years.

  • Maybe the news.

  • The manager who knows so much.

  • That's why I say Liverpool isn't the most important thing.

  • It's an actual teams.

  • We're gonna lose huge sums of money, and I'm completely indifferent.

  • Divisions on.

  • Also, how do you affect next season's Champions League?

  • So this season has to finish JJ because it impacts next season because of European places in Champions League places.

  • How do you decide the top four now Who's in Europe next season?

  • So I think whenever the date is when we get back to playing football, even it was August September.

  • For me, it doesn't.

  • I wanted to happen as quickly as possible, and obviously with everything going on it with that in mind, but also whenever it does, this needs to be finished.

  • For me, you have to be creative with next season.

  • I go back to I think she's in a few years ago with a real court was getting to Qatar and I don't know what it just gets plunked in the middle of the season.

  • We have to wait around on that and find a way to do it.

  • And it was doing so.

  • I I think eventually they'll have to find a way to where to make it where he's a little bit touchy on this one.

  • Carefully over last few days on the messages that I say give them a pill the league keeps and in the last trick sign so that, you know, next year Luca wouldn't leave books.

  • But I mean, it would be an absolute, I think, doomsday scenario for football.

  • I mean, then the day that football doesn't matter at this moment in time, it would have to be a doomsday scenario for football not to finish their existing pictures for this season.

  • But I don't see how you essentially could shift on with next season without just essentially finishing those fixtures.

  • So for May, there isn't anybody that's in a position of power.

  • There was one person may be reversed back down the road.

  • Obviously, once they realized they'd made a mistake.

  • But I think there isn't anybody in a position of power, isn't saying at this moment in time, the intention should be to finish the season when football resumes.

  • I think at this moment in time, though, I think the most important thing is making sure that they make the size of decisions around extending the season, the protection of staff players and guess on Dhe fans.

  • And they've done that.

  • So they bought themselves some time.

  • I think the Premier League in the F L clubs to be all the DFL to be able to react all these next few weeks, the last thing that I'm actually worried about this moment in time, he's sorting out fixtures.

  • If football players need to play every day for nine days to finish the Premier League a za worst case scenario, they would do it because they just get their heads around it and they would make it a festival of football and it would be something quite spectacular on football.

  • Could really bring some hope and joy when the country finally comes out of this crisis on during the Festival of Football for two weeks, where the league's finished in two weeks, the Champions League finished in a week.

  • The you know, F A Cup is finished in four days could be something quite special.

  • I'm not saying they're the examples that should be followed, but you understand what I'm saying here, that there could be something quite spectacular football fans coming together after this crisis is over could really bring some joy back the nation because it does impact so many people in so many towns and cities across the country.

while we're focusing on what happens between now and the end of this season, that the contract issue from the 30th of June, that's gonna be hugely complex, both from the players point of view in terms of where they want to be playing at that at the turn of the summer on from a clubs point of view, which player is the Bridge club is that is the play gonna belong to?
