League would be played in summer at best.
Due of Covid-19 outbreak which whole world has been affected with situation at Turkey is getting into worrying numbers but does provide some sign of control, there has been conversations taking place also at footballing world.
One of the discussions without doubt has been questions when league would be resumed once again with it being clear in realistic manner that starting season on April seems to be over-optimistic view even through TFF did mention that issue would be going through on 2nd April according to situation in country and suggestion from specientific committee but with country being almost at lockdown it is unlikely to be started so soon with earliest could be on May and this is being also seen very optimistic. Meanwhile, UEFA did suggest 3 dates to start season which is end of May, June, July, In either manner, it does look like it would be clear that it would be getting through summer period and taking account climate in Turkey this could be pretty problematic as it tends to be pretty hot in Turkey including in Istanbul which could provide some issues when sometimes starting season on August has been discussed and criticised in this country for weather staying so hot.
But if TFF and clubs consider to conclude this season it needs to take this factor into account for sure as their is no other way to solve this issue, of course assuming that Covid19 would allow it.
Clubs consider to reduce salaries to its players.
Another issue which has been discussed due of this effects which Covid 19 could have to football, including Turkish football is strong suggestion to reduce salaries of players as clubs are expected to get into more serious financial issues as it doesnt recieve money in this period.
It needs to be noted that with some players recieving pretty moderate salaries might not or would go through moderate revision, which would not provide much issues for players and hence will not raise too much issues. It would be noted that also high paid players will also look for reduction but would be providing much more effective negotiation and demands and would probably still ask for higher salaries. There is even discussion right now in footballing world to introduce salary cap similar to NBA and NHL, where lowest and highest limits would be set, even through there is discussion if systematicaly it would work at football but it does look to be good choice as would provide organisational system and if it has question if it suits this game it could be put temporary while clubs, which especially includes Turkish clubs are at economical issue which would become worser with this Covid-19 situation.
Right now, this is only suggestion but this should be actively discussed in upcoming period as it is clear that Covid 19 condition would become even more serious issue in upcoming months for sure.
Players provide positivitism with their activity in social media
Players during this unplanned break, and even through does show their luxerious conditions their are in, still provide great example towards people with staying at home with their activity at social media.
It is true that players are not allowed for players to leave their houses, apart of shopping, due of Covid-19 outbreak but with their numerous social media activities their did provide example what could be done at homes during lockdowns. It needs to be noted that one of the most active in Turkey is being Kevin-Prince Boateng who are showing pretty funny and positive posts from their houses with his wife and son. All this posts does provide some positivity to people who stucked at home and keep mood and positivity both for players and their followers. This things are very important without doubt to keep mentally in stable position in such difficult period world is going through right now.
Once again, stay home and positive and we would go through this difficult period together.
