Ed002 various reports now saying there won’t be a vote on neutral venues on Monday as they want to sort it out before?

Teams at the bottom of the table are being told to get in line or face points deduction? Plus it puts the 2020/ 21 campaign under threat if they can’t agree now?

Players have been presented with waivers to sign but many are refusing?

Captains to speak to players about restarting?

Is any of the above true? Landscape seems to be changing each day as you suggested.

{Ed002's Note - (1) That is not the plan for Monday. Whilst there is no intention to vote on the entire restarting proprosal (as it will fail) there remains the intention to vote on the neutral venues (which might still be touch and go but the clubs in the top six against it will switch sides). (2) Who by? If a club or clubs is using threats against other sides then that will be subject to punishment. (3) Waivers for what? (4) The players were told that their views would be taken in to account and that no longer appears to be the case.}

Thanks Ed, don’t worry about the questions, was just trying to see if anything had changed.

Any prediction on outcome of the meetings this week?

{Ed002's Note - Today's meeting has been shifted to Monday. There have been various discussions between little groups of clubs over various matters. Everyone looks to continue to try and avoid a vote as it is hard to call. I am aware that some players are miffed as they were told they were all going to be asked their opinion on whether to start playing again or not - and that no longer appears to be the case. It is not a matter for the PFA but they will make out that it is. There are concerns over the number of positive tests are being found in footballers returning to train across Europe and with the players of two sides saying they don't wish to return to playing and with medical advice from club doctors not being heeded in England there are significant issues to be discussed.}
