I doubt there is a manager, coach or chairman in any of the leagues that would dispute it. cant be a 100% forgone conclusion if they can be caught though, only on the balance of probabilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as if it’s a tight title race. However if the EFL do the same it will mean those tw@ts Leeds are up. Also what happens if they dock us points? We would be down without even having a chance of surviving. Edited March 14, 2020 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would represent a counter argument though. The possibility of Liverpool being caught is only a mathematical one and, even then, only one club would remain in the equation. I doubt even Pep would deny the right of the trophy going to Anfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 As I’ve just posted elsewhere I think it’s better to write off season 20/21 as it hasn’t happened yet. Finish this season when we can and then make up some friendly tournaments to fill the time till next May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 54 minutes ago, theowlsman said: As mentioned previously, I’ve already calculated the number of deaths at just over half a million. That’s just the UK. And that’s just for the current strain of the virus, which may mutate as they often do. UK Population 66,500,000. 80% infection rate. 1% death rate. Death is the business to be in over the next few years. Forget burials and gatherings for funerals. My guess is cremations only on a conveyor belt basis. Not understanding why people aren’t getting this, but fully understanding why this site now needs to evolve to talk about more important things than football. The world has radically changed overnight. This site will have an increasing role to play in maintaining spirits, a feeling of togetherness, providing support, and encouraging people to help others out. The same applies to all other online communities. I understand your point, but I believe this current concern/hysteria is because this virus is new and there's no current vaccine. I feel this will just become part of the fabric of society in future and people will become less concerned and accept it's the norm. We've been doing this with winter flue for decades, with UK deaths alone at 300K or so. This is hardly reported and we certainly don't shut down half the country between Oct-March every year. We should be focusing on the very vulnerable as it's them that will feel the full force of this, and as long as the 99% of the population, who will suffer only a minor inconvenience, focus on this point we should be able to manage the impact.

The PL & EFL will have to announce a proposed solution, then all the clubs vote for it. This then has the legitimacy and avoids (doesn't rule out though) clubs suing.

theowlsman Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 In times of trouble, and coronavirus may go on for some years, people tend to go home, where they feel most comfortable. I expect the Chansiris to return to, and remain in, Thailand, and their association with the club to dwindle. Expect Mr C to sell the club else put a team in place to run it on his behalf. Assuming the EFL restarts anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Looking likely that top level football won't be able to return until September at the earliest. Meaning that this season, surely as to be cancelled and voided? https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/english-and-european-football-might-not-return-until-september-amid-coronavirus-crisis-report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a rumour we’ve already cracked space travel, that UFOs have actually been built here on Earth by us mere humans, and we’re already out there in the Universe exploring. I’m prepared to listen to anything and keep my mind open to all these theories. You just never know nowadays, who’d have thought we’d be looking at a Pandemic for real. Funny that. I wrote a story when I was a kid about 50 years back, called the human race and it was about our race for survival. The race to get us off the planet before we killed each other, by war, pollution or whatever. I mentioned it to my son after watching the first series of lost in space on Netflix and we discussed lots of philosophical stuff around the subject. The funny thing is that the main ship in the tv programme works using alien technology. Apart from the usual helpings of American cheese and characters annoying habits of keeping things to themselves, the series is very well done and a great watch if there's not going to be any footy to watch! Thanks for the link to youtube films. The one you put in your post is the most informative thing I've seen so far. Just going to add 10 boxes of buckwheat tea to my shopping list, just under the 200 toilet rolls! UTO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
