Good move. Can't see them restarting the season for another two months. Devil is always in the detail with these things, so hopefully it's enough, but this should see some clubs stay afloat, I imagine.

Great.  So Roland waa right and theyve decided to buy us after all! What are all the other clubs in the league going to do?

I admire their optimism in hoping to complete the season but it’s a tall order I think. Players won’t be fit to just pick up where they left off and can anyone see this crisis being over with enough time to fit in the matches before the season starts again.

I can't see next season starting, never mind finishing this one. I don't think this is going to be anywhere near over by August.

Scumbags in Premier League awash with money have done nothing to help fellow professionals to date.  Really should be cut adrift with no promotion.

May/June peak, back in November, then again next spring. It's here to stay.

abandoning cup competitions & internationals this season and next could well make enough space to finish leagues this season have a little break and start next season in September or even October

Apart from the annual disappointment curve of the average Charlton fan, what do you think about this virus?
