TBH I can understand our club's concerns. It seems like Crewe did not do full squad testing after Wintle was +ve and only took this action after Beckles +ve test became public. More players then did test +ve last week so I can understand that we would want some assurance that the squad coming down Tuesday had current tests. If there was any ambiguity or lack of clarity over that from Crewe then to protect our players has to be paramount.
The behaviour of Crewe on 3rd Oct probably undermined our confidence that they are following protocols and thus raised our concerns to a higher level.

I think that’s fair.

In one of the articles released today (not sure which one) Artell says the EFL called it off. I was told PHE called it off, and the EFL relayed that to the club. So that differs slightly to what Artell said.

However artell did say PHE had been into the training ground this week to check the clubs protocols. So PHE have definitely been involved. So it seems to me that they have lent on the EFL. I was told ‘we can’t play again until we get the squad tested’. That has got to have come from PHE.

That would contradict the EFL statement tweeted at 3pm on Tuesday where Crewe, the Club, were 'unable to fulfil' the fixture.

Artell said the following which doesn't say the EFL called it off but implies maybe they were involved: '“I understand that the EFL act cautiously but there has to be some justification to it and not just based on falsehoods and accusations from another football club and them kicking off."

That's an insinuation of blame back at Oxford based on nothing. I, like you and all Crewe fans, want the truth. That falls with the EFL and unless they send out a statement telling everyone exactly what happened, the clubs, managers and fans are going to be at loggerheads.

This is slowly becoming very embarrassing for all concerned.

Meanwhile, the EFL remain mute and watch it spiral out of control.

Don’t really see what Oxford or even KR on his own have anything to be embarrassed about.

PHE/EFL.

Well maybe but presumably based on some rationale rather than just because they wanted to p*ss people off.

WHAT IS NEEDED HERE IS A CLEAR AND ACCURATE EFL STATEMENT EXPLAINING THE REASON(S) FOR THE POSTPONEMENT.

Sorry to shout but that would be very helpful!

I heard that due to a mix-up ELP called it off.

Given this is all a but 'Unbelievable' are you sure it wasn't EMF who called it off?

So KR is at fault so @Malc as that t**t Artell gas now questioned the integrity of LR and OUFC will you now reveal what @Crewe conversed with you as it has come from Crewe Alexander that Tuesdays game was called of by KR and OUFC

NO

So Artell does know why it was called off then, because Crewe didnt meet the appropriate guidance and protocols. Again. So his rant is, as we expected, a blame deflection exercise for the more gullible element of their fanbase.

Which doubtless will work brilliantly.

Full press conference. 15 minutes long

Oxymoron · 16 Oct 2020

David Artell says that events surrounding the postponement of Tuesday night’s fixture at Oxford United left a ‘bad taste in the mouth.’

Isn't that one of the three indicators of Covid.........

So PHE or EFL were not completely confident that Crewe had done thorough /up to date testing?

Or had the correct protocols in place

Couldn`t find a "keep it zipped" emoji.

I understand how someone (unnamed) could send screenshots of text messages (not in a pub) between two parties.
I don`t understand how someone (unnamed) could send evidence of a conversation unless that was also by text or similar method.

I refer to my original assessment that there are so many "mis-truths" being bandied about, primarily from "the other side", that even they have forgotten what the truth is.

Seem to remember Crewe is all about the railway station, maybe you can get the last train to trancentral from there?

Question for you @Crewe. Who exactly called the game off? EFL statement says that your team couldn't fulfil the fixture. That implies someone at your end had to inform the EFL about this.

Artell says 'the board' were incredulous about the game not going ahead too which suggests it was not one of them.

Boss: "Things Went On That Have Left A Bad Taste In The Mouth"

David Artell says that events surrounding the postponement of Tuesday night’s fixture at Oxford United left a ‘bad taste in the mouth.’ The Crewe Alexandra boss was understandably livid that the game was pulled after he had prepared his team for the re-arranged fixture at the Kassam Stadium.

Crewe as their statement on Tuesday says:

Club Statement: Oxford United Fixture

Following consultation with the EFL, Crewe Alexandra has decided that our game with Oxford United this evening should be postponed. The decision has been taken after fully considering the relevant guidance from the Government and EFL.

Unless evidence of the conversation was within the messages, of course.

Bazza, every question you asked was already answered. Everything that was sent to Malc was relayed in that thread. The only thing I didn’t say was Crewe were accusing Oxford of reporting them to PHE, because I knew it would go down like a lead balloon.

Smacks of trying to divert blame considering we prepared for the game, had all the players turn up, KR only found out the game was off when he was driving to the game as per his immediate interview. The club was pushing iFollow sales etc as well. Would be an expensive and bizarrely elaborate cover up from us for reporting Crewe.

If only Crewe had actually tested everybody after the 1st positive case...

Not just bad but NO taste at all.
