What happened in Turkish football today? 01/04/2020


UEFA as everyone are uncertain about rest of the season.

UEFA announcement which states it has postponed all of its games until further notice, did once again once that football community among whole world is unable to do any plans for rest of the season and this does look to be right decision.

Even through their are arguments that Covid-19 is currently at its peak place and will go into decline, only factor which supports this arguments are numbers and there is no scientific prove that virus would infact become much weaker and go into decline. Stating of this uncertainty it looks to be two options which postponing tournaments until further notice or cancel it entirely hence reducing stressful condition of competitors. One of the main reason from football not to postpone without doubt is being financially which has also been case for UEFA to keep its tournaments until running. But one thing is clear is virus is one who is controlling this fight between both of us, and when looking right now it does look to be difficult to compete this season in the Europe.

Without doubt, it would be  hopeful that we would be start defeating Covid 19 in short notice but it doesnt look to be happening soon sadly.

Decision of rest of season of what needs to be done, and not what club wish to take place.

Even through talks about ending season, with counting as not taking place, are been argued among teams which are being at relegation or close to it, and quite naturally their are providing such option for self-interests. Even through this seems to be case, it does seem to be for now as one reasonable option.

When discussing about if season would be completed, there seems to be mix of people wants and musts for sure. It is clear as football fan and also this blog runner, I would be wishing for league to even start this weekend but things needs to be taken into reality. With more or less whole World being under huge lockdown, there is stoppage of any football tournaments in Europe apart of Belarus (and noone can give 100% certainty it would be carried on being like that). With Turkey numbers of cases and cases still not being in panic level high does show move upwards in worrying image and hence its hard to see how this season would be completed. It is crucial for clubs right now to put, even through we need to understand all of them, regarding money issue and do what is right in sense of health of community. Clubs has stated, and certainly would, respect all decision by TFF but some want to compete this season in either way. Sadly, for now Covid-19 is not thinking to fulfill what people want.

Again, this season could be competed and in perfect condition but from condition of virus we are
right now its seems to be pretty difficult possibility.

Transfer plans for clubs are being among bottom to-do list right now.

Even through our social accounts does provide some transfer rumours once in while in this situation where all aspects are focussed into Covid-19, it needs to be noted that this rumours needs to be taken with speculation.

It is possible that club in those days does consider transfer options during this summer transfer window, but it is clear that this is not being top priority for clubs right now. Even through it does look like clubs are uncapable of doing much against Covid-19 and its true directly, the sides does sit right now thinking what should happen for rest of the season, going through financial condition of clubs and other issues how this virus affects football. Taking account that its not even clear if summer transfer window would be very active or even  be open due of this virus, it is clear that clubs does put this into last spot. Turkish sports (read as football) newspapers, as Turkish sports fans or foreign long-term followers will be aware, is heavily focussed into transfer news with transfer rumours will not be surprised to see high level of transfer rumours right now.

Once again, this posts doesnt state that clubs even now not discussing about transfers but it is being way below in priority list for sure.
