It would be beyond frustrating for MC if this folds the club, after all he has done to stabilise it.

Boris is stuttering and piffling about being over the worse within 12 weeks. If that's the case, scrapping the Challenge Cup and a top two into a Grand Final that takes place in late November might be the way. It will allow all clubs to complete their home fixtures.

At least we have someone at the helm who will give us the best chance of steering us through it. Hold tight.

I'm no Boris fan but with the best will in the world, the bloke has a lot on his plate. People are expecting instant answers to every question and there simply aren't any. In fact, I'd be more worried if Boris wasn't stuttering because then we'd know for certain it was pure bull.

Let's not panic here, no serious un-rectifiable damage has yet been done o the economy. Everything is out of whack but with the obvious exceptions of say Holiday companies and retail catering etc all will eventually come back into line, if as I say we see a China type scenario. Not saying there won't be short term casualties but it's not in the banks or almost anyone's interest other than say the most parasitical of investors to not do everything to keep most businesses afloat,

Of course, all that could alter if we don't play our part and support the nation and do as we are told as happened in China. Easier in China where they generally have to do as told but there you are.

MC has just been advertised as being on the prog as above.

I don't agree at all with the Govt's initial response being loans to business - without including direct help for individuals - but if I were MC, I'd be looking at applying for the grants and loans now, and worry about the repayments later, when we come out the other side. That could be something that supporters could help with then - rather than expecting people to help now, whilst they're worrying about their own business, jobs, families and health.

Kicking the can down the road I know - but that was always the intention of the "350 billion package" in the first place.

Just been on sky sports and spoke well, hope all ends well, he deserves it big style.

Damn missed him on Calendar last night and now on SS News.

This isn't aimed at MC or at Trinity but, for me, if my business becomes insolvent, the very last thing I would want is a loan to keep me afloat.
If a business is already X million in debt, the thought of adding to that seems reckless.

The government really needs to re think its strategy on this.

If they were directly covering the wages of firms that are struggling, it would allow those companies to carry on without adding substantially to their debt and if they want to help to ensure that businesses dont fold, they have to do something along these lines.

I couldn't agree more - the whole thing was a con; packaging it up as a £350 billion package was outright dishonest, when only £30bn of it was direct help for employers; and it should never have been announced without also creating help for employees - either directly, or through their employers.

More to come at 17:00 today, so we'll see what that looks like.

Looks pretty impressive to be fair.
