York City FC - York City South - YCFC

Health Warning

What follows are some of the possible implications on football of coronavirus. Further announcements may well change the course of thinking.

All information is based on known facts and assumptions are stated.

It is unknown whether "force majeure" could be invoked on any contract (e.g. TV deals or player contracts). However, subsequent discussions on player contracts have seen the only a few local instances of agreements on player wage deferrals / cuts whilst big numbers are mentioned in regards to lost TV money (which filters down through EFL and into National League as "solidarity payments").

If you think you have coronavirus, follow government advice (unless you're a senior government official). Always look out for people less able than yourself.

YCFC - Financial Impact

City Statement (May 23 2020) York City announced a record 1,300+ season ticket sales for the 2018/9 season. Assuming a small reduction to 1,000 for the 2019/20 season, that leaves a pay on the gate attendance of 1,500. Assuming an uplift to 2,000 "pay on the gate" for those last 4 games paying an average admission of £14 that makes about £28,000 per game, or £112,000 for the 4 remaining games from Altrincham onwards. Take away VAT and that leaves City short by about £94,000 of potential "pay on the gate" income. In the scheme of things, refreshments and programme sales will be insignificant amounts of revenue.

With 1,000 season ticket holders, assuming an average ticket price of £10, that equates to £33,000 that City have received in season ticket sales to cover the last 4 home games of the season. You could argue that it should be paid back if the games are not played, alternatively, it could be discounted from renewals for next season. Later, the groundswell of opinion on TOOAB suggested many season ticket holders would not want a refund.

On April 2^nd, City announced they'd "closed the club for the foreseeable future" and had used the government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to place staff and players on furlough until further notice. The chairman will ensure that all staff receive 80% of their wage during their time on furlough, irrespective of the government scheme's upper limit. The government scheme pays 80% of monthly wages up to £2,500 a month (approx. £576 per week)), so someone earning £576 a week will get £461 from the government scheme. It can be assumed that many senior professionals will earn more than that. On April 9^th, Sean Newton when speaking to the "Shooting Towards The Shippo" podcast praised Jason McGill for his efforts and communications with the players during the lockdown period.

With staff (players and non players) on furlough, any decision to resume football will mean ending furlough and paying wages again. If games are held behind closed doors, there will be no match day income.

On April 9^th it was confirmed that the National League had received £2m from the Premier League to help clubs with the financial difficulties they are facing. National League clubs will receive £58,333 and those in the North and South divisions will get £13,636. The money will be advanced to clubs next week. The cash represents an advance on payments that were due to be paid to clubs as solidarity payments in August. It is not additional money. The amount is considerably less than many clubs had previously announced as lost income due to cancellations and is due to be distributed as other solidarity payments would be distributed. At the same time, it was announced that the National League would vote on how the 2019/20 season should end, it was stated the 68 clubs across the 3 leagues would have 32 votes (one per National League club and 4 for each of NLN and NLS, the regional votes would probably be cast as a result of a poll amongst constituent clubs, rather than 4 clubs each having one vote). The voting split mirrors the old days of The Football League when the big boys got more votes. One school of thought suggests the majority of NLN teams might vote in favour of any proposal that would see City, many teams' biggest home gate, remain in NLN, another says the upper league would welcome City's big away support to their division.

Equally, any resumption after April 30^th will come at a time when some (many?) City players may be out of contract, meaning it may be difficult for City (and other clubs) to field representative sides on resumption if those players out of contract aren't available. End of contract may be seen by many clubs an ideal time to cut costs and it is unlikely that any new 2020/1 contracts will be offered until there are firm plans for the start of 2020/1 season. Whilst many non league player contracts end on April 30, for the Football League, the equivalent date is June 30. It has come to light, that clubs must pay their released players their normal salary in July if they haven't signed for a new club, think of it as an extended notice period, presuamably the same applies to contracts ending in April.

In the Football League, the profits from each play off game is distributed, half (50%) between the 2 teams (25% each) and rest (the other 50%) is shared by all clubs in the league. Given small NLN gates and a real possibility of behind closed door games, if the same principles apply, the pot will be small (and quite likely non existent). Play off teams will be worse off as they need to end their furlough, pay the wages and possibility extend contracts. In a normal season, it could be assumed that the 6 teams in the play offs will take half the pot (say £62,500 based on an average play off game gate of 2,000 (£15 each) and the split based on how many play off games each club plays and the attenadance at those games) and all 22 clubs will share the other £62,500 (approx. £2,840 each).

With 4 home 2019/20 league games still to be played, that’s about £94,000 income (see above) and if City made it to the play off final a further 2 home games, assuming 3,500 crowds (at £15 each) that’s about £25,000 (both figures after VAT). That's £119,000 in total. The admission price may be slightly high but could be assumed to include hospitality and other matchday income, less an allowance for match day expenses. A further complication is season ticket sales. However, the only guarantee is 4 home league games and "on the gate" revenue, about £94,000 in lost revenue. City themselves estimate they have lost "upwards of £250,000 in revenue".

A bigger impact might be on 2020/1 finances. Until there is certainty over which division City are playing in and the number of fixtures (i.e. if in NL rather than NLN, it can be assumed a higher budget is required to be competitive and if there is a truncated season where teams play each other just one, a team might be able to manage with one or 2 less players). More importantly, season ticket sales cannot commence which may cause a significant amount of income to be deferred (and some possibly lost).

Whilst The Vice Presidents are well on their way towards reaching a £10,000 target to boost the 2020/21 playing budget and YCS donated £1,000 after missing out on their annual hospitality box due to coronavirus, these are small amounts in comparision to outgoings during the 2019/20 season which are estimated to be upwards £25,000 per week. Match day income is vital to ensure City's survival.

Whilst the above YCFC figures are based on assumptions, they shouldn't be too far from reality.

YCFC - Possible 2019/20 Scenarios (April 2020)

Season completed as soon as possible - PREFERRED OPTION, at least until the clubs voted to end the season

Season completed as soon as possible, without fans, possibly by the end of May 2020 and then the 2020/1 season starts as planned

Season completed as soon as possible, with fans, possibly any time between May and the end of 2020, and then the 2020/1 season starts shortly afterwards

Season voided and we go again in 2020/1 in NLN - UNLIKELY

Current positions taken as final positions and City are promoted. In this scenario, expect lots of clubs in relegation positions to protest strongly - UNLIKELY

Some sort of end of season play off games to determine promotion (in lieu of completing league season) - UNLIKELY

Last ever game has already been played at Bootham Crescent - or will coronavirus mean test events cannot happen until football resumes thereby allowing City to play again at Bootham Crescent

If the 2019/20 season is to resume, completion will probably be squeezed into a shortened window which will most impact the clubs with the most games still to play and those with more part time players who may struggle to get time off work once normality is resumed. Consideration would also have to be given to players out of contract, many players will be out of contract after April 30 / June 30. Also, the transfer deadline was March 26, the date after which clubs cannot sign any more players to play in the current season.

National League - What If 2019/20 Is Voided

Loss of income for unplayed games

Still need to give consideration to promotion and relegation. With Bury's demise, the Football League needs one more club.

National League North and South are due to expand to 24 clubs for 2020/1, meaning 4 would expect to be promoted into it, making a total of 5 (including Bury's demise) new clubs required to keep the 3 divisions of the NL numbers as desired. With the FA voiding steps 3 downwards, it is not sure if this expansion will still occur. (This seems to have been postponed for a season - Ed.

In National League, the top 3 could all claim they still have realistic title hopes, the top 15 could claim they still have realistic play off hopes and only Chorley are so far adrift to make relegation seem very likely.

In both regional National Leagues, the top 4 could all claim they still have realistic title hopes, at least the top half in each league could claim they still have realistic play off hopes.

Given the expansion of the regional leagues, expect no teams to be relegated.

Clubs don't need to retain players beyond their contract end dates in April (including many on one year contracts at smaller clubs) or June as there are no more games to play. On March 27, Barrow boss Ian Evatt said he had 8 players out of contract on April 30, currently they're paid a total of £5,000 per week.

Planning for 2020/1 squads could start straight away, although clubs would want clarity over which league they are playing in and start dates. They might want to delay making new signings (and paying wages to those signings) until there is certainly over the start date of the 2020/1 season.

Given a start date (and details of fan admission is known), season ticket sales could start. A decision would need to be taken over what to do with the portion of 2019/20 season ticket money covering the unplayed games could be made. Equally, if it was decided to carry on with the 2019/20 season, it would push back the time when clubs could start to sell 2020/1 season tickets (and possibly mean a shortened 2020/1 season).

In respect of contracts which end in summer 2020 but have performance related extension clauses (e.g. an automatic season's extension if a certain number of appearances or goals are achieved), strictly speaking players would have made no appearances and scored no goals, with the implications that has on their contracts.

YCFC - Players

Contract information is not always readily available, but from what has been stated, the following is a realistic scenario.

In January 2020, Steve Watson said he'd signed 2 players on 2 year contracts. Earlier press reports had stated 2 other players were signed on 2 year contracts. The 4 are Paddy McLaughlin, Ryan Whitley, Kieran Green and Peter Jameson.

Given City's recent years, it is highly likely that several of the 2019/20 newcomers were signed on one year contracts with an option that City could extend for a second year. Think of some of this season's newcomers, possibly McNulty, Maguire and Bond included.

For the others, they will be on one year contracts that will end on June 30 (or maybe on April 30). Those players would receive no pay from City after their contract ends and would be free to sign for a new club.

Note, it is possible that some players whose contracts were due to end in April / June 2020, may have already had their contracts extended, however, nothing has been published.

Under Football Association regulations, players must be notified by clubs if they wish to be retained (and offered new contracts) by the end of their contract. Once a contract has expired, a player will not be paid and is able to sign a contract for another club.

Given coronavirus, it is quite possible that until football's calendar is confirmed and matches are underway, then it is possible that many clubs would not want to commit to new contracts (especially if they don't know which division they be in next season).

YCFC - 2020/1

Once again, Jason McGill / JMP have stated that funding is available to cover City's next season as per the 2018/9 accounts published in March 2020. This extends previous statements that had said such funding was in place until YCFC moved to Monks Cross.

Regardless of which division City play in during the 2020/1 season, central funding will be relatively small and there is probably little significant difference in the amount regardless of which league City play in.

At the end of the 2019/20 season, just one team is due to be relegated from Division 2 and 2 promoted from National League. This will restore the Football League to 92 clubs following Bury's demise. Consequently, the National League will be left with just 23 clubs. Some shuffling will see it restored to 24 clubs (3 (not 4) relegated, or (less likely) more promoted).

Given football's finances, it is always possible that one (or more) clubs might not make it, leading to more shuffling to maintain the expected number in each division.

Premier League / English Football League - Financial Impacts

Using best available data, across the PL / EFL, following the suspension of PL / EFL football on March 13, the loss of income might be something like the numbers below.

They assume 70% of attendance is season ticket holders, £3 per spectator spend at ground (equally split between profit and cost) and TV revenues excluded. No consideration is given to the season ticket revenues already received that cover the games at the end of the season.

The PFA are usually very firm in contracts being paid in full, so it will take them and other parties to agree to any wage reductions to see clubs through the lockdown.

Some clubs may incur lesser losses when in furlough than when not, especially during the "close season".

So, based on an average Premier League crowds of 36,000, there is a loss of match day revenue of £324,000. However, it must be noted, many clubs are far from the average, Manchester United and Bournemouth being the extremes.

Elsewhere, Division 1 and Division 2 clubs collectively put their loss if the remaining games are not played slightly higher at about £50m.

With some clubs already in financial trouble, both Southend and Macclesfield were late paying February wages, the impact of no match day revenues may be fairly immediate for some clubs.

Going forward, any plans to have a truncated 2020/1 season will have to assess the impact on club finances. Any reduction in games will have an impact on income.

On March 18, The EFL agreed to release £50m short term relief fund to help clubs, a mix of early release of solidarity / award payments (totalling almost £30m) and an interest free loan facility. Championship clubs will receive their remaining £800,000 award payment from the Premier League and be able to apply for a £584,000 interest free loan. For League One clubs, the figures are £250,000 and £182,800 and for League Two clubs £164,000 and £119,800.

On March 19, Steve Thompson, Dagenham and Redbridge FC MD said the National League may need up to £20m of government money to help survive the impact of the coronavirus and believes the National League is not in a position to be able to offer a relief package to its members. The full figure looks high compared to the EFL's £50m, equating to £294,000 for each of the 68 clubs.

Any prolonged furlough and / or suspension of football might be a driver for lower league / lower paid players to leave the game at the end of their contract.

In the Premier League, for the 2018/9 season, central payments made to the various clubs ranged from £150m for Manchester City down to £96 million for Huddersfield. It was made up of 3 main components ((equal share (£34m each), amount based on TV appearances and merit payments based on finishing position (approx. £420m)). With 42 games still to be televised at the time of the coronavirus suspension, it could be argued that the remaining TV money isn’t available (approx. £762m (£371m Sky, £50m BT and £341m overseas)) and if the league is declared null and void, there are no finishing positions, meaning no merit payments, which range from nearly £40m for the champions down to just £2m for the bottom club. How would the clubs feel if all that money wasn’t available for distribution? Equally, Football League clubs have their own TV deal and filter down money from the Premier League, to a Division 2 side this is worth about £670k a season, with around a fifth of the seasons still to play, that's about £130k per club.

At the time of suspension, it was estimated that Premier League clubs held about £260m of "unspent" season ticket money out of a total £1.2bn spent on season tickets.

On other impacts / shortfalls include:

On March 17, Barnet announced, "We are in unprecedented times and as such, certain decisions have been made across the football group to ensure the longevity of Barnet Football Club. Over the past few days, we have taken emergency measures to preserve the Club and ensure it remains sustainable. Since relegation (2018), we have seen a general drop in crowd attendances of 50%, whilst general costs have increased resulting in operational losses of approximately £100,000 per month. The Club budgeted for this in the hope of promotion but of course, at the end of April, all of our parachute funding will cease and we need to therefore make savings accordingly. In addition to these challenges, we have to consider the greater challenge of the impact that Covid-19 will have in the immediate and long-term future. In order to meet the challenges ahead of us, we will have to dismantle our existing cost structure and look to rebuild for next season with a much leaner cost base. We have therefore taken the difficult decision to put all Barnet FC staff on notice. This is to include all first team, coaching and backroom staff, the Barnet FC Academy and many of the operational staff across all areas of the Club. With heavy losses already occurred over the past 2 seasons, cynics might say it is using coronavirus to bury bad news. Later, Barnet said their monthly player wage bill is about £100,000 which represents about 80% - 90% of total costs.

On the same day, Kings Lynn estimated a loss of £100,000 if their final 4 home games were not completed and appealed for fans to help them cover club costs whilst Boston admitted that they were heading for "challenging times" in paying staff and player wages without the income from match days.

On March 19, Chester put the loss of 5 match days revenues, lower, at about £50,000.

On March 23, the AFC Fylde chairman stated his club's annual wage bill was about one million pounds with his top earner being on a basic wage of £900 per week.

Yeovil estimated the suspension of league fixtures would create a £400,000 financial hole by the end of June following their relegation from Division 2 a year earlier, they have higher operating costs than many non league clubs with 12 players contracted beyond the planned season end date of April, including 9 contracted until June 2021. Yeovil’s highest earner is on about £1,200 a week.

Chesterfield take £25,000 as an average on match day and £60,000 a month from their stadium banqueting facilities.

Northern Premier League club Basford United estimate that over 4 months, they will suffer a £100,000 impact, with 20% of their turnover being match related, the closure of their grounds and training facilities will have a big impact as 3 East Midland league clubs use the grounds as well as various local clubs and leagues.

On March 27, Barrow boss Ian Evatt, top of National League said the central funding for the National League football was worth £60,000 (he later said £80,000) compared to £1,200,000 in Division 2.

The chairman of National League South club St Albans City stated that losing their last 4 home games would cost them about "£50,000 or 60,000", not too dissimilar to the assumed YCFC figures above.

Burnley put the loss of their last 5 home matches at £5m and TV losses for the rest of the season at another £45m.

One report valued the abandonment of the 2019/20 Premier League season (92 games still to play) as high as £1.37bn (including £762m of TV monies (£371m (Sky), £50m (BT) and £341m (overseas rights)).

Championship clubs spend £107 on wages for every £100 of income, that's before other costs are factored in.

Matchday income, expressed as a % of total income is around 35% in Division 2 and dropping to 25% in The Championship. These figures can vary widely between clubs, parachute payments and large home gates having the biggest impact on the numbers.

For the 2017/8 season, only 21 out 71 EFL clubs made a profit (Bury never filed).

Premier League / English Football League - Transfer / Contract Impacts

With contracts ending on June 30, consideration will need to be given to squads playing 2019/20 season game after June 30 2020.

Hakim Ziyech has already signed a contract for Chelsea, can he play in 2019/20 games for them after this date, or will he be ineligible. He has no contract beyond June 30 with Ajax so wouldn't be able to play for Ajax. Equally, Dean Henderson signed a "season long" loan with Sheffield United, presumably with an end date of June 30 (or earlier). Where does that leave Sheffield United if he can't play for Sheffield United after June 30? Without a first choice keeper.

Equally, Oliver Giroud is out of contract after June 30, even if FIFA allow out of contract players to play for their existing club after this date, there is nothing to say the player has to sign an extension or to play for his existing club.

FIFA need to determine what the rules are for eligibility for 2019/20 season games played after June 30. If they decide out of contract players can only play for their current club, that might influence some players to sign a short term extension to ensure they are paid.

FIFA need to confirm any changes to the summer transfer window based on any revisions to the planned 2020/1 season dates.

Wider General Principles

Expect all proposed solutions to favour those making the proposal

You can't please all of the people all of the time

Given TV revenues, expect the Premier League clubs to have a stronger desire to play the remaining 2019/20 matches

There may not be as much money generated as usual when football resumes (e.g. stay away fans, people can't afford it due to lose of earnings, too many games too quickly, other (summer) interests take precedence. Cricket is planning on a July 16 resumption and forecasting bumper crowds for T20 / The Hundred due to pent up demand for live sport)

Whatever is the agreed course of action today can easily change by tomorrow (or sooner)

Hearts are one club that have asked all the staff to take a 50% pay cut, in the case of players, contracts are "enshrined in football law" and can't be unilaterally re-negotiated down, you never see a club sacking a player if they don't like him

Contracts expire on June 30 (or April 30 in some lower league cases), so there is no obligation on any player to sign an extension beyond that date, indeed, some have already announced they're moving on that date (e.g. Hakim Ziyech, Ajax - Chelsea)

In a fast moving environment, dates for a return of football should be taken as guide dates, expect a formal announcement of a return date to be made a couple of weeks (or more) before the return date to give clubs proper time to prepare (including player fitness and match logistics)

The longer the lockdown and the absence of football lasts, the greater the impact will be of trying to complete the 2019/20 season

Although tax is a complicated subject, anyone who pays tax in the UK should be able to claim tax relief on any charity donation they make. In the case of Gordon Taylor, he announced he'd made a £500,000 donation, if so his charity will receive £625,000 and after gift aid, it will have cost Gordon just £375,000 after tax relief. As a donation, its money that he will never see again. Surely a tax effective solution for any high paid footballer

In China, the first cases were reported on December 31st (2019), by January 21st there were 278 cases when it started to become a news item in the western world. The number soared to over 76,000 by February 22. Since then, it has been a trickle of new cases every day in China. Let's hope the western profile mirrors that rather than the 3+ months that have been mentioned.

The longer the lock down, the less resistance there will be to behind closed doors football

The longer the lock down, the greater the impact there will be on the next (2020/1) season

The shorter the lock down, the greater the risk of a second surge of the virus and consequent further lock down

New Calendar

Given football's hierarchy (and self interests), it is highly likely that FIFA and / or UEFA will set the agenda on any revision to football's calendar.

They both have their business partners and won't want to see any adverse impact on their revenues from those business partners.

Accordingly, it is likely that domestic leagues will have to dovetail with FIFA / UEFA dates, although that may be dependent on each individual country's recovery from coronavirus (and consideration of any regional specific conditions / isolation). UEFA have a stated target of June 30th to complete the 2019/20 league season across Europe.

Planning will need to consider the close season between 2019/20 and 2020/21 and the time needed to sign new players and go through pre-season training.

Premier League / English Football League - Composition

Somewhere along the line, the football pyramid needs to shuffle to take account of Bury's demise.

It has been agreed that only one team will be relegated from Division 2 with 2 teams promoted from the National League. That will mean an imbalance in National League which will probably be resolved by relegation to the regional National Leagues of only 3 clubs rather than the usual 4.

For 2020/1, it had already been agreed that the regional National Leagues will each be increased by 2 clubs to 24. It is believed that this has been deferred due to coronavirus.

Another thought has promotion only (no relegation) throughout the pyramid at the end of the 2019/20 season, resulting in 22 teams (assuming no team promoted via the play off) in the 2020/1 Premier League with respectively 25 (3 promoted into it) / 24 (4 promoted into it) / 22 (lose 4 to D1 and 2 promoted) in the EFL divisions. Not sure if Premier League clubs would want to split the monies 22 ways rather than 20 and indeed where they'd fit in an extra 4 games.

Premier League / English Football League - Finances & Random Thoughts

Very few people will have seen the small print of the TV deals and finances involving the PL / EFL clubs.

It has widely been quoted that the Sky / BT TV deal values each televised game at over £11,000,000. It is the TV money that funds prize money. For 2018/9 in the Premier League, it ranged from Huddersfield's £93.6m up to Liverpool's £149m. The TV deal also funds the £140m that is distributed annually as "solidarity payments" to EFL clubs and for the 4 NL teams who've been relegated from the EFL in the past 2 seasons.

If the TV companies claw back any money from the PL from their TV deals, a realistic knock on effect is that the PL reduce their "solidarity payments". TV companies might see that as a reasonable stance if this season's games are lost or a truncated 2020/1 season is played.

One suggestion, made by Karen Brady and others, is to void the 2019/20 season and go straight into a 2020/1 season. An eminently sensible suggestion, but would they "null and void" their £100m+ TV income from the "null and void" season?

Equally, given those TV deals and the amounts involved, what would the PL league clubs think of possibly losing 10% of it (say an average of £12.5m each) to fund a 22 team Premier League?

Games played behind closed doors will have financial implications. Loss of income to clubs, loss of tax to government and loss of business in the locality of grounds.

June 30 is a key date. Note only is that the date playing contracts generally finish, it is also the date when many club commercial contracts finish / start (e.g. shirt sponsorship). Liverpool's new kit deal starts on July 1^st.

Given contracts and commercial deals ending on June 30, that date may be key in considerations for how to progress the 2019/20 season.

With some clubs putting staff and / or players on furlough leave, when games resumes, they will have to come off furlough, if games are played behind closed doors, there will be no gate income to support the wage bill.

Harrogate have their own unique challenge. Plastic pitches (Harrogate's generates, according to some reports, £500,000 income a year) are not allowed in The Football League. This means Harrogate would have only a small window of time to lay a grass pitch if their promotion is confirmed, both at a cost to them and a loss of significant income. With play offs confirmed, Harrogate arranged promotion triggering deals that will see a 10 week programme to replace their plastic pitch with grass kick in 2 days after promotion is assured whilst a separate deal will allow a 3 match ground share whilst the work is completed.
