Oddly I think our complete lack of non-match day revenue puts us in a good place.

lets be honest every player at league one and two level is going to be jobless sooner or later. what's left of clubs will be interesting and what the new benchmark for wages is, if and when football restarts who knows

On the bright side it could help us keep JCH another summer, I don't think anyone will want to spend large transfer fees straight up in the coming transfer window and certainly not on league one strikers.
We could also snap up some good free transfer deals that we normally wouldn't have done and turn the situation to our advantage if we are savvy enough.

Only when you can't service the debt payments, as an extreme example Coventry are £60m+ in debt with no ground as equity but were still surviving. I fear post CV it'll be the perfect time to introduce Premiership 2, or even B Teams to the EFL, as the only clubs left not on the verge of bankruptcy will be the big Premiership sides, if we have to play until 2021 behind closed doors there may well not be any pro football below the Premiership, or at least Championship, level as who's going to pay to watch L1/L2 games on iFollow in any large numbers? We'll be lucky to get 1,000/£10K per match watching/paying against the £100K+ a home game generates, plus who's going to buy replica shirts etc in any large numbers come the start of next season. |

Not much positive stuff in that article. But it’s a doomsday scenario, but it’s only an opinion and if you read stuff on the BBC site you get a different feel for what’s going to happen, they seem to be reporting that once the CV crisis is over we return to some kind of normality.
You can’t blame journalists, they have to report something but at the moment I get the impression that no one knows what’s going to happen and whatever they hear they make a story up about it. But the bottom line is no income no business, so rich clubs will probably hunker down and try to survive whilst poor clubs will go to the wall if 5hey can’t find any other income streams.
UTG!

That's assuming we can still afford JCH's wages? Assuming we survive CV then we're stuck paying Bennett's wages next season, the likes of JCH, Jaakkola and Kilgore could well find new clubs willing to match, or better, whatever we're presently paying them, whether we have the finances to stand in their way when we're only getting a pittance from iFollow games is the great unknown.

I thought it was logical and well written. In a scenario where it is unlikely we will have mass public gatherings, ie no people at football games, how on earth are we to survive? |

Surely anybody saying football will return to normality any time soon is deluded, when it's pretty obvious it'll be a long time before fans can attend live games. When the Government's Chief Medical officer has just announced social distancing will have to continue at least this calendar year. Assuming next season starts behind closed doors and that then carries on until the turn of the year, will fans in any numbers suddenly return in the new year assuming they can then attend games or by then will they have found new hobbies/interests, or not even feel safe attending sports events etc in any large numbers. |

One thing seems to be overlooked - once C19 subsides/is under control, the majority of the population will still be around. They will still in the main want the things they had before the crisis. Including football. Sure, it will probably be a lot different, but still there. |
