Don't you feel a new tax is coming after this is all over? If I were in power I'd introduce an NHS tax, trying to avoid that wouldn't be a good look and it would allow people to use a tax for the positive. You spilt out the expenditure and justify it at the same time. Keep other taxes in place to fund the borrowing deficit.

dont think you should judge them too much if they dont want to

If you can't measure a man by his actions, then how do you? Greed, lack of empathy, lack of moral support for his club and community, I'd say that's more than than enough to judge a man by and I don't see why the supporters, most of whom are doing all they can at this time, should revere these knobs when they do start working again.

Or to put it another way...

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Martin Luther King Jr.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with inviting 20 people to a party, even in the current climate, if fact, I would encourage it. I would just advise all the invitees not to turn up.

With the news of Pep Guardiola's mother dying from the virus I wonder if that will have any impact on the dates discussed here.

She was 82 and lived in Barcelona, a real virus hotspot. I don't think it's so unsuprising that it'll affect any plans elsewhere.

I'm looking at it from Guardiola's view. This is obviously very personal for him and he's going to be raw about it still in a couple of months so if he thinks not enough time has passed and the powers that be are taking a risk by sanctioning a return to action in June and takes a stand I'd imagine Man City will back him up. You're going to need a 20 team consensus to resume playing so might be something worth keeping an eye on.

They deserve some credit for changing their mind, interesting to see if other clubs like Spurs do the same

Fair enough, but you'd hope everyone involved would already be able to conceptualise or quantify risk without needing a personalised reminder. You wouldn't want to think decisions are being made on the basis that decision makers were or weren't personally affected.

Randomly came across this but if you have some spare time (sarcasm) it may be useful for the people who haven't got these skills in their toolbox.
