Return of fans pushed back... going to have a huge impact on the lower league clubs financially. Expect premier league clubs to pillage any prospects of quality from the champ and league 1 to stock their benches and u23s over the next couple months.
The EPL clubs will take a hit too, especially the bigger clubs who are bringing in 40-60k a game at home and rely on gates as a meaningful chunk of their revenue, but still getting pretty significant tv payments and would expect the smaller prem teams with smaller crowds and the champ teams getting parachute payments are in the best spot and taking the smallest hit. (or I guess even better to have a sugar daddy owner where money is no object a la City/Chelsea/Wolves/Everton lol)
