The Athletic has its own designated writers, Paddy Boylund and Greg O' Keith, reporting on all the Everton stories. It has a host of other writers reporting on all sport throughout the world so why not check it out at the moment? Everton Stadium, according to an article in the Athletic, is not expected to be affected by the coronavirus outbreak. Lango Rock still in their timetable and expected to start work on the stadium subject to plan and permission in September which was outlined anyway for the start date. So obviously at the moment everything is up in the air because we don't know how things are going to pan out but the company for them will have this timetabled in. The shame is what the plan and permission probably wouldn't have been looked at anyway or passed until the mid-summer sort of June-July. So theoretically if things have improved by then then they would expected to be on site at the time that they've planned anyway. So that's really good news from a stadium perspective but also from an economy perspective because obviously we've seen a lot of things going on due to the pandemic, businesses closing, people out of work so if we can start to get the economy kick starter by building something like this in the city then it may boost the city when it really needs it as well so that is good news. Moving on from that UEFA I've had a meeting today and they discussed relaxing FFP for next season again at the moment. We don't know what that actually means or looks like. They've delayed a lot of the licensing. They've delayed applications for their European tournaments for next season as well. So as football enters into a new world really which is what it is because it's still uncertain when it's safe to play any kind of games. They've already postponed the Europa League and the Champions League indefinitely and you know leagues are still trying to work out whether they're going to play the end of their season or whether it's just going to be a new season when they can get back. So a lot of these discussions up at the moment but FFP being relaxed could have big implications for Everton Football Club for arguments sake in terms of what they could spend. It means that they could potentially spend more than they thought they were going to be able to due to those restraints and obviously there is a financial impact on Everton if they don't finish the season and play those nine games and that it could be as much as £40 million in lost revenue so in terms of planning for the future and transfers and stuff it's a big decision whether or not the season ends now kind of thing in terms of the 29 games played or whether they do somehow manage to fit nine games in when it is safe to do so and not before despite people clamouring for the season to begin in the next few weeks. We wait until it's safe before a ball is kicked. But moving on to transfer stuff and transfer stories. Marker who have a lot of transfer stories in Spain and in particular in Madrid are saying that James Rodriguez to Everton is a big story over the Everton favourites. There's clubs like Wolves have been credited with an interest Arsenal as well but according to Marker Rodriguez is keen to work with Antelotti again. He works with him at Real Madrid and at Bayern Munich and wants to link up with the Everton boss again and apparently Everton are the favourites. He can play anywhere across the front right or left. He is left-footed of course and then potentially that would mean the left-footed right winger that Everton have looked at before if there was anything in this but again we don't know again. We're just responding to a story that has appeared. Leighton Baines has said that phoning elderly fans and fans who are ill is just as rewarding to the players as what it is to the people receiving the phone calls. Obviously Evan have been fantastic with this, the Blue Family project he's got going on at the moment. We saw the Evan Mile last week in terms of getting food out to the people who needed it the most but Blue Family has seen people like Moise Keane, Carlo Antialotti, Duncan Ferguson, Leighton Baines now amongst others Michael Keane as well. Phoning fans and just letting them know that someone's thinking about them in this time and I think it's massively important that players and football community does come together because we're all facing very difficult circumstances at the moment. It's a horrible time worldwide. It's a horrible time in England. It's a horrible time on Merseyside. More deaths than we've seen so far due to the virus. So it's important that everybody does stick together and if you can do your bit and maybe phone someone who might be lonely or face time or anything like that it does make a big difference and this is what Leighton Baines is saying and finally a bit of you know talking about doing nice things. This is kind of a negative. The PFA have apparently told players not to take pay cuts at their club without consulting the union and I find this disgusting really. Certainly for Premier League players we showed all the stories yesterday with Tottenham and Daniel Levy laying off staff and telling staff that they're going off to take pay cuts while the players were unaffected. No pay cuts for the players or for Daniel Levy and this Gordon Taylor and his PFA this just plays into that as well. It's that degree that's just disgusting I find and I think things like this. I'm glad this has been reported and is out there because the heat does need to be turned on to people like Gordon Taylor and his establishment when things like this are getting out. When people are struggling and it's the lower paid employees of football clubs who are the first ones punished, not the high paid ones so I hope it's something that is sorted out. We saw yesterday Barcelona players have took a 70% pay cut to try to help the other people in their football club the lower end and Lionel Messi was fully behind that he instigated it. We're seeing it through clubs in Germany and things like that and I think it's disgusting that the PFA are putting this kind of message out personally but that's my opinion.
