There is plenty of leaked information now finding its way into the public domain as to the ‘thoughts of EFL clubs’.

I would ask all LCFC fans to read & receive these comments with interest but also with great caution.
Often the reported views are not that of ‘all LG1/2 clubs’, more accurately a viewpoint of a (singular) club/owner which no doubt formed a worthy discussion point. However, these discussions have certainly not reached their conclusions, nor are they the definitive stance of LCFC
I appreciate everyone is keen to understand what is being done on a raft of challenges & issues ranging from the 19/20 season completion, the start of the 20/21 season, the transfer window, player contracts, games behind closed doors etc.
The most accurate report I can provide is that absolutely nothing has been decided but that progress is being made.
There are various models & permutations being discussed, however simply put, we are not in overall control of this matter. The virus is. It is however our responsibility to plan for scenario A to scenario ZZ based on differing outcomes and government restrictions.
I am also saddened to see footballers (generally) maligned during this incredibly difficult time. Like the majority of us, they have mortgages to pay, families to feed & bills to pay. They are certainly not immune to this situation & share the same worries as we all have.
The players are part of our family and they are part of the fabric of our great club(s). The LCFC players have been fantastic in how they have approached this matter overall. They are a credit to this club, their families & our communities.
The truth is, if we are going to survive this we are all going to have to share a bit of the pain. Clubs, players, owners, non-playing team members, sponsors, fans & broadcasters. This ideally will be proportionate & the aim of LCFC is that we find a fair way through this.
No one party should be expected to suffer more than the other or take the brunt of this. This is a time for unity & solidarity.

In lieu of this, we do very much believe in the collective, be that EFL as a whole or EFL 1. From what I have seen & been a part of, ....
discussions between the EFL & fellow members have been encouraging, in good spirits & with good intentions. LCFC will continue to engage through this forum in order to find the fairest & most practical resolutions to the many issues both our sport & our industry are facing.
I want to assure LCFC fans that we intend to communicate openly & in a timely manner, but only once there is something noteworthy & factual to say. We are also very respectful that many people are hurting & we are ‘just a game’. ...
We do however hope that as a pillar of the community, we can survive this pandemic & play our part in rebuilding our communities together.
Until then, I reiterate that it is advisable to act with caution when reading anything that is reported as fact.

Take great care - Stay safe
