1. The club needs to determine if the govt will pay 80% of the staff and players' wages, as with other businesses. If so, carry on. If not:
2. A quick response on the EFL's request for a rescue package materialises, and is positive. If so, carry on. If not (or no decision appears pending):
3. Whether or not the League decides to void the season, we cancel the contracts/pay redundancy etc to remove all but a very skeleton staff and a small handful of the players we'd most want to keep; maybe half a dozen at most. Even if the season continues at a future date, we won't get relegated, and we must not bet the farm on promotion via the play-offs. When play eventually resumes, we source a new squad; we've done it before, and there will be players everywhere looking for a club.
That's my take, but this could all be moot if there were full transparency of our running costs vs cash position, as requested in my previous thread, and a clear, timed plan we could all have sight of. I am hopeful that the directors have this kind of thinking in place, but it's not clear if that's so or not. A fuller response is urgently requested, please.
