Socialist_Owl Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Final standings in place. Top three go up, bottom three go down. End season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's games in hand, there's still plenty of time to turn form around etc. I just don't get how you can do anything else than either finishing all the games before next season or cancelling it all. You're talking about multi-millions for clubs being lost by being relegated with only half of the season being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzlebeak Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Void the season. Start again next season (if possible). Harsh but fair like Doug and Dynsdale Piranha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means some sort of league standing will be recognised. I think the ship has sailed on Liverpool being declared champions (and United getting into Europe). We've just got got to hope Leeds don’t go up. Like most of us I dont want Leeds to go up ,but while ever Bielsa is there they will be in the top 2/3 In short ,if they stay down it means one promotion place less for the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Well if it comes to that point next year we can just break out the bat soup again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is what they're thinking, then it is pretty clear the main concern is fulfilling broadcasting commitments rather than the integrity of the competition.

beswetherick Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I’m not defending the FA and the PL, but UEFA have a gun to their head by threatening to withhold European places if they don’t complete the season. Weak leadership and greed all round... disgraceful, but not surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way will they not have any English or French or Dutch clubs in Europe. They will change their rules accordingly when they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensible thing to do IMO would be to cancel European competitions next season but there’s too much money involved for that to happen. It’ll be a sham competition anyway since none (or very few) of the teams involved will be there on merit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNChance Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52536329 Some premier league doctors now raising concerns, not only about health concerns but their own liability and insurance issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52542756 At what point do you have to change everything so much that it's just not worth doing it? At this rate they'll be playing the rest of the season out by playing head tennis! Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for 22 teams in Liege 1 instead. Is it not obvious that this isn't going to go ahead before September? That would then include no preseason etc. Contracts expire soon ffs.

Fans don't even come into the thinking.. - Players tested twice a week. - Have to train in masks - Must arrive in their own kit washed... - No food on premises. Food must be delivered to players cars.. - Only specialist medical treatment allowed - No team/tactical meetings - No showering (not sure if they can go for a waz or a crap) All for a game of football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL said it needed 56 days to complete. Player contracts end on 30 June, that's now 56 days away. We aren't even close to figuring out HOW they can make it work never mind the contract issues. Germany are still 2-3 weeks away from playing and they are miles ahead of us in terms of COVID response. Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Shorter half's flipping hell. Cos if they do go ahead hsving contact for 40 minutes instead of 45 will change the impact. Who the fizz is running this? Is it Michael McIntyre chairing these meetings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
