Started off will and went downhill fast. Must try harder.

Clubs are in trouble.
Players are in trouble.
EFL is in trouble.

As a club @ASFCofficial have been hit by #Covid_19 along with all other clubs.

This season has been destroyed by it.
Up to now the @EFL have advanced money’s DUE 👍 and given loans against future distributions 👍

So far so good.

The @premierleague advance FUTURE solidarity payments but @EFL sit on them 👍

Still so far so good.

Then we get the boards plan to finish the season...
...THEIR competition.

This involves an extension of this season creating damage to all clubs future income. (Save the few that are promoted who’s increase in revenue will cover it)

This 2 MONTH extension of the season significantly increases club costs.

We have players...
...that would have left early May, who we’re going to have to ask to stay 3 months longer ON FULL pay.

AND this assumes we complete that period without further interruption, which is by no means certain.

Our costs are substantially increased by Rick Parry and the boards plan.
All these extra cost at being taken so the few clubs with promotion hopes get the opportunity to fulfil their dreams.

I 100% get this. If @ASFCofficial we’re up there I’d be hammering away as those there are now.

But that’s not my point Mr Parry @EFL

My point is this...
The GOVERNMENT is taking pain and losing cash to save the economy and jobs ✅

My BUSINESSES are taking pain, having their balance sheets ravaged as a result of #Covid_19

INDIVIDUALS are taking pain with job losses or income losses.

FOOTBALL CLUBS are taking pain in order...
...to survive, whilst you MR PARRY are raising their costs.

The obvious question is this:

What pain is @EFL taking as a result of your competition being decimated???

The answer is very little.

Yes you’re advancing funds and making loans, the vast majority of which you...
...will get back.

But your insulating the @EFL from it’s share of the problem.

My SUGGESTION is you pop off to the bank and get a loan, like the rest of us have had to, TO SUPPORT YOUR FAILING BUSINESS.

I want @EFL to share our pain.

It isn’t.

It’s destroying our futures..
...for the sake of it’s competition. It’s miring clubs FURTHER in debt than they already are.

It’s destroying next years competitions and perhaps dooming many clubs.

Clubs have lost income, clubs are going to lose massively more income.

Some will die.

It’s high time our...
...board made concrete attempts to close the VAST CHASM that has been created by an act of god in our cash flow and balance sheets.

@EFL and MR PARRY.

It’s high time you acted and shared our pain.
