It would be an obstructive construction sequence.

New stand you say?

Rumours they've earmarked Burnley on the 30th November for the grand reopening, tendering process begins on the 28th.

That is somewhat ambitious to say the least

I presume it was a 'look how late they leave things' gag in relation to the transfer window.

No just really ambitious to have the work done inside of 3 months. I guess they've been moving on thus since July so they've had a bit more time.

I doubt it was ever going to be just the first couple of home games.

Raul might not be available for the Watford game. Apparently because we haven't let him go and he's fit, he will be banned from playing in any domestic games for 5 days after the international break.

English clubs face Fifa punishment for refusing to release players for World Cup qualifiers

Exclusive: Newcastle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Watford and Blackburn Rovers are all facing action

[Dire Wolf]

Seems a bit harsh, our government has banned people from travelling from here to those countries…

 

[Tony Towner]

They haven't, they've imposed quarantine on their return.

But if he'd, and others, had been released they would've been in quarantine for the game anyway. Lose lose then. FIFA being the dicks here in which case

They haven't, they've imposed quarantine on their return.

From The Telegraph article:

Newcastle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Watford and Blackburn Rovers were all facing action for blocking Miguel Almiron (Paraguay), Raul Jimenez (Mexico), Francisco Sierralta and Ben Brereton (both Chile), respectively, from travelling to games in countries on the UK’s coronavirus red list.

I must be out of touch, I thought red list countries meant you couldn’t travel there? I guess it just means you have to quarantine on return then?

Half the Premier League have done the same, I can't imagine this becoming an issue really considering circumstances.

Yep, you can go anywhere as long as they'll let you in. If it's a red list country it's 10 days in a government sanctioned hotel for normal people on arrival home

Cheers, since I’ve basically had no interest in going abroad during a global pandemic I hadn’t followed the rules on travel very closely!

And he would have missed the next game too. Back at the earliest on the Thursday night I believe and Brentford is 9 days after that. Then a couple more games and rinse and repeat at the next international break.

Also from the same article:

As of Wednesday night, Fifa had yet to receive a similar requests for sanctions from Brazil over the non-release of Alisson, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino (Liverpool), Ederson, Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City), Thiago Silva (Chelsea), Fred (Manchester United), Richarlison (Everton) and Raphinha (Leeds United) for their own qualifiers.

So the bigger clubs are fine, but the smaller clubs get fucked.

Standard.
