 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the footy show daily. I have no hair. Yes. Let's get that out the way. I was wondering how you were going to throw it in. No, just throw it out there. I've got no hair. I just got rid of all my hair. I'm not a barber. Had you had enough? I'm not a barber. So there's no point messing about it today. Just get rid of it. Had you just had enough that was it? Too long. Just getting too long. So just go, get rid of it. There you go. I mean at some stage, I don't know whether I'm going to have that. Well that's it. I just thought now was the time. There's no point messing about it. Get it done and then hopefully when the barbers can get it they'll all be ready to go again. Imagine working into a barbers with like a big full on head of hair. You'd be there all day. It's not fair on the barber. You can think about the barber. You're out of colour. German 40 will retain in May. It's been given the go ahead by Angela Merkel to resume. I think it's around the 15th isn't it? Friday night. Friday could be the first game 15th of May. Which obviously Germany at the moment is a lot further down the road than we are. They was talked at the teams after quarantine for a couple of weeks but that's being pulled back on now because of the testing that they're doing over there. And they're going to start. Do you think once they start and people start seeing football being played that will give a lot more hope or a lot more enthusiasm to us starting again? It'll make things a little bit more normal. A little bit more normal. Seeing football again. I guess there'll be a face for it. It'll be something for us to watch. I don't know how it will translate here. It's just yet because we're not at that level. There are 150,000 people in Germany with Covid. 6,300 of died from it. They are further down the line like you said. It's madness because that seems something over the weekend saying there was a spike again and they were going to go back into lockdown and that's nowhere. I think there was a spike but it was just a small spike and I think because it got sorted out very quickly. They've just carried on. I don't think they've allowed it to. I think they probably just expected it because that's the way the Germans are. Maybe. I think what it'll do, it's like that thing where once you're introduced to something you start seeing it, you come round to it a little bit, it becomes the norm, it's the same with the lockdown. When lockdown was first introduced and everyone was like, that's weird when you were saying Italy and France but then the next minute we're doing it and you get used to it. Now when that's all come out of ours before then there was cars everywhere. I was like, there's lockdown lifted. I've seen people fight with each other in the roads. Like at road rage. So all the good will. Is it all gone? I'm sure some of it will still be there. But it's funny, well I think aren't they looking to, I think they're talking about the 18th for starting Premiership Training. Premiership Training. On the Monday. And that's probably good timing because what that does for that as well that will go, people will be like, what's going on in Germany? Let's say we're a month behind them. You start training on the Monday. And like you've just said, people get used to it then. Well some, that other country's playing. I'm not saying like, where are we playing? But if people go, we're probably about a month behind them. So if we start in a month that's all to make sense. And if Germany goes through that process and people are seeing how it can be done. When you agree with it or not, will there be someone out here to talk about whether we agree with it or not. We've done plenty of shows on that. But what we're saying is, is that if you're sitting here and you're watching, you've got the ability to watch football on that Friday night. We're all going to be sitting here on Friday night with our beers. Probably all still on lockdown or form of lockdown. And there's some kind of action on. And you're like, sand. And you start getting used to it and you're like, Monday, the back. And then you're like, well four weeks. And I think over those four weeks, Germany will be, I think the Premier League will be hoping, Germany will be like the blueprint. If we follow that and we do what they're doing, people will have a lot. And I think this is the crucial thing. People will have a lot more trust in the process, whether the, not saying everybody, because some people just don't want to agree with the full stop. But I think Germany, Germany's great because Germany do things properly. And they've done this whole thing properly. It's clear that they've done it. We shouldn't have been just following in the football. We should have been following them. Everything. But I think if people go with the Germans doing it right and we follow that path, then we should be all right to start whether you agree with it or not. Yeah, some people are never going to agree with it. I'm rightly sure I wouldn't tell anyone what your opinion is on when you think things resume. My argument has always been that it will happen. That's the side of the fence I'm on. That it's going to happen regardless. So we're just having a chat about it. So someone in the comments who was taking what we said the wrong way in terms of what our opinion was when we were talking about the business side of football saying, you have to look at it this way from the club's point of view. All we're doing is looking at different perspectives. Not ours, we're just telling you. So I've always looked at it. And I've had this on Twitter with people, with mates who've gone out and won't come back. And I'm like, it will. It can't possibly. But it will because there's a will for it to come back because of the money side of it. But also because Premier League football clubs aren't like us. They'll have access to tests and they've got medical people attached to them and stuff like that. So we will look at it. We will measure from Germany. So if they start and it's a weekend and everything's hunky-dory in terms of, you know, there's no new cases. The players are getting tested regularly. Everywhere's disinfected. Do we do this way? Do we do it that way? VAR's done this way? Then it makes sense if you're trying to follow that same kind of process that you're going to do with what someone's doing it further. I mean, it's almost like you should have done this when it was on its way here. But that's done now. That mountain hand we had. So it's done now. It'll be helpful for the Premier League, the fact that the Bundes League come on back. I think it'll be helpful for probably, not probably, it'll be helpful for Italy and it'll be helpful for Spain because they're coming back, just in the Turkish League coming back in June as well. So it'll be helpful for all those countries. That is the blueprint and I can see no better blueprint than James. Well, Marcus Sodor, who's the Minister President of Bavaria, said it's a controversial decision to bring it back because obviously people are dying. It's not gone now and it's like, right, we can move forward. He knows that it's still an act of threat at the minute, which it is. He says we've agreed sensibly. We know it's very controversial and all those responsible in the clubs will do everything possible to comply with the regulations, but the players must also adhere to it. Germany are playing a day. They're playing a day ground, though, aren't they? They're on ground and I think, again, the difference between German football and my football is there's a lot more new stadiums or there's a lot more sort of, when I say new stadiums, there's a lot of stadiums that tend to be. German stadiums tend to be obviously not like ours. They're not city centre dominated. They're out on the outskirts or in an area of the city. We're not even out of the city as such. We went to Dortmund and we went to Düsseldorf and Düsseldorf was about five minutes from the airport and Dortmund wasn't that long on a train but it was set within its own area because it's about setting areas. It's set the setting like park areas. Düsseldorf was set within a park, wasn't it? So the set, and I remember when I went to... At the end of the train line. I remember when I went to... Norenberg was off the line, wasn't it? Norenberg was set in these, like, woods. You're not supposed to be able to see it. It just appears in through these woods and Wolfsberg, again, it was sort of like... because it's by the 3W factory, it's sort of... In Düsseldorf. It's just set just a far enough away that it's there but it's not right on the doorstep. It's not going to be like Goodersham Park. So they can... and we've seen how they brought their wife in Düsseldorf as well, straight off. The buses from the planes, which was amazing, on the Bendy buses. So they've got that side of things a lot better than we have. But, yeah, they're definitely going to be the test so that's going to be coming back 15 to May. Very interesting. I mean, Solomon Caluso, had he scored an own goal, hasn't he? He's suspended, hasn't he? Because there's a video of him interrupting a medical check-up and going up and shaking hands with the person immediately. I mean, if it's good... Now, he might have thought, oh, it's fine because we've been tested and we're all clear, but not doing it. To be fair, a certain presence of a certain country has done that today as well. Well, there you go. Now I know. The 80mm Football League announced that a total of 1,724 tests have been conducted on players and staff at the 36th, first and second division, first and second tiers in Germany, 10 retained positive corona tests. So what do you do? I mean, the Premier League is targeting return to train and small groups made the 18. Project restart plans will be discussed at the leagues next year, as well as meeting on Monday. So Monday left because then the government will have made two announcements by on Monday. So therefore, like we said, there will be an update on lockdown restrictions. So if some things are relaxed slightly, the clubs can fall into line with them. The English Football League has won football cannot resume before adequate testing arrangements are in place for coronavirus. I mean, that's the one, isn't it? If you're looking at it this way, the EFL, I don't know how it retains. It's one thing talking about the Premier League. It's talking about the Bundesliga, the first and second tier in Germany. You're talking about the Premier League. It's a big thing here and 10 neutral grounds, but the Football League? No, I still don't know. I'm still waiting for the Premier League to sort of get it out and all that, and then that will follow on from that. And we won't know, we won't know. It's weird, it's weird. Very interesting. Damian Kamauly. Damian Kamauly done an interview on Sky this morning talking about the impacts of Covid on football in general. Not talking about the medical side of it. You're sticking to football. Obviously you should be Liverpool, because that's happening as well, isn't it? So, he was saying about the way football clubs might work, the way he thinks they'll start doing things and he said he thinks he feels that clubs will still spend money, but they'll spend money on younger players and try to buy younger players who are going to form a core of teams. He said, so I could still see clubs spend and say 100 million on players, but it'd be like five or six players rather than one and doing it that way. So, there'll still be money or arm, or there'll be more value for money, but clubs will, he thinks that he feels as though clubs will, aye, trim the bloated squads so they'll only carry maybe 18 or 19 first teamers and then the rest will be made up with players coming through their academy and things like that. And again, talking about that football reset, we're saying. And I think the more that it comes out into the open and the more it's poured out there and the more it's discussed, the more known, the more it becomes the known and I think these clubs will, because they have to, you can't continue to just do what they're doing, especially the way it's gone and the way we are now. That'd be better for what that will hopefully do as well, if it might not work necessarily for the Premier League in terms of the chase and pack, but certainly for the cup competitions, if the top clubs don't have a massive stockpile of players, it means that they've got to start rotating and then you won't see this maybe the likes of Man City going all the way in the League Cup because they've got all these players. It might actually give other teams a chance to win these trophies where if you think about the last few years, everyone goes, oh, the FA Cup, no-one's bothered yet, but it's always the top four team who wins it. It's not like anyone else was winning it. It's not become this free-for-all, the same with the League Cup. The last few years it's been Man City and Man United winning it. It's not being like a chance for other teams. Chelsea being in a final, Liverpool being in a final. It's not being a chance. You might get the one other team that have a chance to win it. It was the Disha Ville, wasn't it? They'll get to the final, but City will still beat them. So hopefully what that means is like you just said there, if it's a city, and they've got Champions League or Liverpool and they've got Champions League, they'll still be throwing everything at that. It might just mean that the FA Cup and the League Cup becomes, there's a little bit more of a chance. And then hopefully you see that, but then you see that in starting that, but then that moving to the Premier League as well. And then hopefully what that does is it almost levels out a little bit because it enables you to build, to catch up. They can't keep two teams of well-classed stars. And then it makes it a better competition because when we've heard today, Christian Pearslow said as well, he's the Aston Villa chief executive now, and he said that relegation, the risk of relegation is a 200 million catastrophe. Well, it's a 200 million catastrophe for Villa because of all that money they spend. And we spoke yesterday about the parachute payments, getting rid of the parachute payments because they're an absolute nonsense when you think about them. That money could be spread throughout all the leagues. But if a team like Villa, or a team like Fulham last year, got it staying up without spending a lot of money that they didn't have, then again that, and I'm not saying that would make the league any worse because why would he? Fulham spent loads last year, Villa spent loads last year and did nothing whereas Sheffields United kept their core team together, added a few good players who built on the same mould as the rest of the squad and are doing really, really well. So I think if you remove that thing of like, oh, it's good and you just can't compete, then we will get a better league out of it and less money will be risked and there will be more money going into the league. Where's the 200 million catastrophe? I think what he's saying is that the money you lose anyway by going down and the fact that... You've spent a lot when you've got the... Well not just that, I think what he's from on is the fact that all the money that's going to be lost. Anyway, and all that money that'll be lost next season for the Championship. So no, get your seats and obviously the 100 million. He's worried, yeah. So it's a double bubble, isn't it? But I think you're right with the... We have to look at the way we do everything now and these clubs coming up will have spent 140 million or 150 million in the summer to try and stay up. You know, at the moment they're in trouble. They could stay up, they could gamble, the gamble could pay off, but at the moment they're struggling. Fallham spent 120 million, and they were terrible. They only looked decent when Scott Parker took over at the end and bombed out all the ones that they brought in really and just went back to basics and got Tom Kearney back inside and gave a couple of the younger and had Harvey Elliott on the bench, didn't he? And they only looked like they were a team again when he went back to basics. They got rid of all the... That's very... They got rid of all the good players who brought them up. You've grown, I think, Oswin. But that's how you grow as a team in Premier League. You don't get up and bring seven or eight, nine players in. You're not going to make a team like that. It's hit and miss. They might perform for you. But then again, if you listen to anybody talking about football teams and talking about how teams develop anyone who's played the game even when you're speaking to them, they're always like... You can't bring seven or eight players in because it just wrecks the team. Two or three, you can get away with that. They're good. And you've got the core of your team. That's all Chris Wilders' bunch. I feel the night of these kept. What the good, eh? And he's added a little bit to it. And also, if you didn't have those parish repayments, you wouldn't think, oh, I'm just going to splash all this money in one go. It's mad that it took, like, Rick Parry, because it's just become the norm, aren't they? Rick Parry brings it up. It's just like, when you think of Parry, it's like... It is. Why are you benefiting from being relegated? I didn't know everybody in the championship by doing it. But also, you've been rewarded for being relegated. But also, in a way, your disadvantage in yourself because we've seen how loads of teams go down, get that parachute money, pay money, knock them up, and then when that runs out, the knackeredd, and you look like someone now, someone that money is just like, and then it stops. Those teams are living beyond the means, aren't they? So they get up, and they go, we've got this ton of money, and we've got it next year, so we can afford to bring these players in and stay up. If it's something like Sheffield United, you can do it that way. If you stay up, then next summer they can spend a little bit more and give people a bit more money. Grab a couple of players in there, because you're starting to be able to take yourself into time and stay in the league whereas, come up, spunk a load of money, go down, and then you've got players on four or five-year weights, going, oh no, you said to me, you were giving me 80 grand a week for five years, so I'm not going up, Jack. We've seen Jack Rodwell doing in Sunderland his age, and going, and again, that goes against what we're talking about. You know, why are you going up into the Premier League and going, oh, we've got to buy this plane, and we've got to give me x amount? No, you don't. Let's hope that the reset is with this, and that performance-related pay comes in contract, because I think if you do it that way, we've just done an interview today with Kevin Mcliff and he was talking about in his day with Kendall, it was like there was players, there was players who were on the top weight, but you also got a parents' money, so if you played a lot of games, you could get up to that weight and then everyone gets the same bonus. Do you know what I mean? So that, you might get 10 grand a week, but I only get two grand a week, three grand appearance money, so if I play three games a week, and I'm getting the same as you, and we're all getting the bonus together, so there's none of that. If you're a better player than me and you're in the team every week and you deserve to be on a hundred grand a week, if I'm on 25 grand a week, but I can earn a hundred grand a week getting in the team, that's going to make me... There's so much that needs to be sought out in football in terms of finances and people's wages and everything else. But this is the I mean, it's not the first step, but this is another another step for project restart really, isn't it? Now, Germany said they're back. So let us know your thoughts on the comments so you think that Germany coming back will get as old used to football and will get everyone looking forward to the games or does it make no difference to you whatsoever and you still think that this season should just be written off and no one voted or whatever.
