Imps Chairman Clive Nates had the following to say in response to this post on 100% Imps: “Even if coronavirus disappeared one day this year just like a miracle I would give the scenario you have painted less than one percent chance of materialising.
Below is a message I posted on Banter in response to a similar comment about player salaries remaining unchanged.
The reality is we are economically in a global depression or at the very least a deep recession. Many fans will have lost jobs or have reduced income. Even if crowds are allowed to attend at some point attendances will be lower especially with regard to away fans who provide the highest yield. Many businesses have been adversely impacted which will affect sponsorship or the ability of owners and investors to fund their clubs. Central distributions from the EFL and PL to clubs will be lower.
In addition, it is very likely salary caps and squad limits will be introduced across all three leagues in the EFL. There are more than 1100 players out of contract just in the EFL. Even Premier League teams will be cutting back on squad sizes and academies because of reduced income so the oversupply of players is going to be huge.
Against that background player salaries can only drop significantly, the only question is by how much.”
