As September rolls on we start to get clubs eyeing up 2021, lets hope the virus doesn't wipe the championship out again.

Straight out of the starting blocks are Leigh and with Blake Wallace and Jamie Ellis signed, they are now after Albert Kelly.

Nice to see Mr. Beaumont committing to another season and significant investment........As hinted by his statement that took Leigh out of the mini-tournament....

"[iI wanted....... to repay the fantastic loyalty shown to us by our sponsors and season ticket holders that has been overwhelming. As a result of that support, as previously communicated, I increased the budget for 2021 playing roster"

“I am happy to remove my team and staff from furlough immediately and get cracking on. I would like to reiterate the appreciation of the Board to all our outstanding sponsors and season ticket holders for their unrivalled and generous support which will be repaid with the squad we assemble for 2021 which wouldn’t have been possible without it".[/i

There's also talk of less or even no money for championship clubs come the new SKY deal if that reduces for 2022 onwards which it may well do. So two reasons for a number of clubs to face/consider possible disbandment. I can certainly see no League One in the future?

What? Where will all the overseas club start? How could you be tempted to stay on the forums without overseas clubs to be mentioned on every topic?
Can't be true...

I would have thought DB would have learned last time that boom or bust is a very dangerous game to play. No doubting the talent they have acquired but I still fancy Toulouse easily

That's been admitted by the government and was called for by Libertarians right from the start of lockdown. Whilst covid certainly damages lives.......

Major economic downturns, redundancies and long term unemployment leading to poverty depression and destitution damages far more lives......
