9 (Nine) Things That May Be Relevant Next Season

1 No H-G requirement for matchday squads. The day of our 'Nur Deutsch' team looms large.

2. Later starts for the first league game (Aug 10th) and entry at the Round 2 stage of the League Cup (around 3rd week of Aug)

3. Mid-season player break in Feb 2020. This necessitates a match-week being spread over two weekends (only 5 PL-matches each)

4. FA Cup Fifth Round is now scheduled for midweek, with no replays. Will NCFC notice?!

5. A new tv deal for the PL kicks in, including Saturday night kick-offs (8 in total, at 745pm) and 2 complete rounds of fixtures being streamed by Amazon

6. V A R. Logically this benefits the side that are involved in most goal-scoring opportunities, so Spurs, Cieh & Liverpool are still the biggest winners.

7. Fewer midweek matches, likely only one game over the Easter weekend

8. Possible use of the currently-vacant shirts: 13, 14, 20, 21 & 26

9. Rise up the All-Time Top-Flight & PL tables: getting close to matching the records of Charlton, Coventry, Fulham, Weds & Wimbledon.

With apologies to the millions of proper writers who have employed this tortured device
