Meanwhile, QPR has converted £17.1m of loans to equity. This took place on April Fools Day - but is no joke for Ruben Gnanalingam, who must be wiping out the other shareholders at quite a rate now. Fernandes & Mittal very much in the minority.

This will be a long haul for all teams. As Covid shows no evidence of retreat.

In US Prof teams are letting fans in. Depends on what State. Chicago allowed 1/4th of capacity into games but have to mask. Clubs still lose money and with th ridiculously high salaries are losing money every game. Will this ever end and how will the world look when it does. Speaking here of course only the professional sports.

I'd like to take this to another point of view/direction. The players all know what's going on in this world at the moment, time they played their part too. They know most clubs are financially screwed, so perhaps not demanding as much might help. They also know the economical climate is causing a lot of job lossess and businesses closing. Time they could make an appropriate moral stand. "Just how much is enough"??
Half those numpties in the EPL are not worth anywhere near their wages that they receive and frankly, if those "big 6" wish to get themselves into bankruptcy, good on them. Nothing would give me more enjoyment than seeing that. Mainly because they throw their wealth and weight around so brazenly.
I think players, their agents need to take a more realistic approach, it will take decades for the world to really recover in all aspects and how irresponsible would it be of clubs to continue to burst their budgets just to appease some egotistical wannabe. Just plain stupid and greedy.

Just plain stupid and greedy. I can agree with most of that but I see two issues. First players have a short career span and are going to grab every penny they can. Most do not seem capable of seeing past that to what is happening in eth bigger world. Take BOS and Manning as examples. Second the PL can survive on Sky money. Sky have the monopoly at the moment. If they want to show a game (In any division) they show it and do not allow streaming by clubs. Meanwhile Sky will keep charging viewers over the top knowing they have that monopoly and fans will pay to watch rather than not see any football at all. The big 6 - or maybe 8 this year will reap the money from Sky and keep paying the stupid wages they pay to their players while the smaller clubs get into deeper and deeper trouble. Man City say they cannot afford to replace Aguero - why because they are one of the main culprits of spending multi million fortunes on transfer fees and are now hung by their own actions in that a ready made Aguero replacement is too expensive to buy. Not sure where it will all end in professional football but I have terrible feeling it will not be good. We may end up with a European super league and the rest of the game falls away.
