It's the consequences of not getting promoted that concern me, what will become of the team and those players who want Championship football? (and an ambitious manager)
Maybe...but Covid will prove to be a great leveller in all this I reckon.
Champ players with ambitions to play in the Prem may not get their chance if clubs have to tighten belts. Granted, top 11 clubs in the Prem don't/didn't need crowds to make money, but even so it will decrease demand. Not to mention a fair few bloated Prem Academies being reduced to cut the fat.
There could well be a trickle down from there - less available in wages to offer, more players available for what will probably be smaller squads, not to mention the odd club finding themselves going out of business/into admin if they're lucky with resulting threadbare squads.
whatever happens, the normal rules have changed and unless players have cast iron deals already agreed, then may choose to stick, rather than twist. Same could go for KR....
As always
@Paul B - great piece - thank you!
