Beware sporting disaster capitalists not letting this crisis go to waste - MW

You may have heard of a 13-year-old student from Leeds named Oliver Cooper, who is reported to have been sent home after selling valuable hand sanitizers every 50 minutes. Cooper's plan rumbled when he deliberately sold an ink to one of his teachers, although he had already made £ 9: a sum which, according to his mother, was invested. in a series of doritos and a kebab.

One of the stories that have been brought forward for the sake of the gullible Internet is almost certainly all clean and enjoyable fun and thinking. But also a reminder, even in a terrible crisis, there will always be a few people who will keep an eye on the main opportunity which, in the words of investor Warren Buffett, is ready to be greedy when others are afraid. scared. At a time when it seems that the very arrangements of our lives are being renegotiated during the day, we must be alert to those who see the collapse of their economic and social standards. We have an unprecedented opportunity to promote ideas that can, in less volatile times, be taboo.

What can it look like on a sporting level? Perhaps in the first case, it might sound like nude opportunism launched by West Ham vice president Karren Brady in his Sun column on Saturday. When Premier League and EFL games were affected, Brad Brady ordered his ghost writer, the only fair and reasonable thing to do was to declare the entire season ineffective.

Brady was quick to make his point, but many had already pointed out that his own club would benefit from an absent season, the hero avoiding the relegation of the Premier League to the title. number of goals: Great escape to compete with their remarkable revival under Alan Curbishley over a decade ago. For (Tevez and Mascherano 06-07), read the books of Brad Brady and Covid 19-20.

Again, if we rewrite the past, why stop there? Given their priceless history, West Ham must wish to be able to declare the last four decades of English football invalid.

Aside from the cruelty of being involved in sports politics during a time when thousands of people are on the verge of death, you must be amazed at the simple and transparent uselessness of your work here. As a star of The Apprentice, Brady must first know the rules of negotiation: never show his whole hand. However, if the management of the sport consisted entirely of galactic brains like Brady, perhaps we could be assured. Alas, when it comes to Machiavellian chicanery, it is very likely that the ham maneuvers of the London London dildo you guys are just the tip of the iceberg.

There have been initial rumors that the impending financial instability that many athletes face could force them to make the tough choices known at the top. Perhaps a complete coincidence, for example, this week on Monday, a report extremely derived from the Daily Mail suggests that the coronavirus could force some professional rugby clubs to go bankrupt.

The article also shows a proposed remedy: selling Six Nations television rights to a subscription channel, a prospect which in recent weeks has met with fierce resistance. But it is according to the old rules. If you are CVC, a private equity firm that is about to buy a stake in the tournament and has long wanted to maximize your broadcast income, it would be natural for you to be afraid of insolvency. - as they say - sharpen certain spirits.

I hope to see more in the coming weeks: sports agencies and rights would be an unprecedented period and a slight easing of legislative restrictions that might be reluctant to be necessary. It's hard to be exact about this without getting involved in conspiracy theories, but is it too strange, for example, to wonder if the big football clubs in Europe, who have long promoted a price The Separatists fat can, in the current moment of leadership, discover their moment of strike?

How to resolve the net situation when football finally resumes? One of the solutions is to temporarily cut the League Cup or eliminate FA Cup reruns - two moves, you will notice, many clubs have been tacitly supportive for years.

How to save the clubs of the lower league in the face of a significant loss of income on the day of the match? Simplicity: the strategic partnerships of Muslims with large clubs can over time transform them into subsidiaries or real suppliers.

How to rationalize the cricket season is shortened? Resuming the County Championship and the explosion, or - as the former director of the Cricket Council of England and Wales, Andy Nash thinks it will happen - merge this latest competition with Hundred, calling him not only This summer's center was the financial cornerstone of a sickly game.

With the help of an overactive imagination and a long period of isolation, you may be able to find a few other things. If that impresses you as whimsical, soon, then the complex sports history has no sport to write, so much the better. But also consider this: over the next few weeks, if not months, the brokers of sports power - administrators and leaders, sponsors and speculators, marketing agents and forwarders - will be in a loose state. There is nothing to do but the plot and the strategy and launch the idea. And then ask yourself a question: how much do you trust these people to act in the best interest of your favorite sport?
