This season certainly at our level is over. We aren't going to finish by the end of June, but all the contracts will ….. and very few at our level are longer than one year! So clubs won't have enough players.
You do realise that 27,000 people died of influenza and pneumonia in 2018 ………… and you never even noticed.
Yes there'll be a new season in September or basically the world will have been ended by a Pangolin. If football can't re-start, economically the world will have crashed and you needn't worry about filling up your car you'll be pulling a nice little cart.
The Premier League, because of European pressure and its own ridiculous wealth, might find some way of getting to a finish. EFL and everybody else …… eventually they'll have to agree to some method of concluding by mathematical means and perhaps limited promotion or relegation.
We have an enormously death-averse society. Including me none of us can contemplate the death of someone we love, but eventually we have to accept we can't set fire to the whole world to save it from burning. A lot of people like me, old-ish, a bit ill, are going to die. I'm 67. No-one's gonna mourn for too long. We are going to have to accept matters. If we really wanted to protect the NHS the truth is we should have been doing it for the last 20 years. I spent years advising and helping students who couldn't get a place to read Medicine despite superb A-level grades. That's when we should have been protecting the NHS, not when it was already almost working at capacity when this all started. Equally we pretend prisons are viable. We have a capacity of 86,000 and the permanent figure of inmates always exceeds 85,000. We have no slack in our institutions. We have been dead men walking but were too stupid to notice it.
The reason there will be a next season is the economic and social imperative. Our rulers are already becoming slightly frightened of the lockdown, they have to come up with an exit strategy and don't know how to do it. Like Singapore they may have to go back to lockdown briefly. Much as they might like to run a police state they don't believe they can do it and if our deaths become the world's worst they know they will never be forgiven. Fear of the virus is keeping us locked down. Fear of the people will ensure someone comes up with a key.
And what's the alternative for a club like Chesterfield, sitting there and waiting to die, or planning for the next season whenever it happens?
