After the Second World war we had the Nuremberg Conventions and the formation of the United Nations that were supposed to put an end to aggressive acts and crimes against humanity. Some of the things going on under this regime certainly constitute crimes against humanity but they are not properly challenged. There are fringe groups around the world and well meaning critics but none of that is going to stop this stuff going on. I don't know how it will stop. I am just watching these things happen. Yes very tough. Similar to Saudi but far more powerful. I would hope the people of China sort their leaders out....if indeed they want too. I don't think the UN can deal with super powers. They will not get agreement across the board, imho of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31Dec1966 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Behind closed doors is not feasible. Some medical presence would still be needed. Some fans might even turn up anyway, sounds daft but it's possible! The away team coach would be "unnecessary travel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The players wont be able to train for the next few weeks; at least as a group, which means the teams won't be ready to play games even behind closed doors. This season, in terms of timescales (end of May) is essentially finished. If the lockdown measures, that will probably be introduced in April have some desired effect, they may get back together as a squad around June, which means they could realistically start the season in July proving the wider infected numbers are down to a level the government think are acceptable. They'll need two months to finish the season, so say September. They'll then need a month or so rest so you could feasibly see a resumption of a shortened 2020/21 season in October. It would be a best case scenario though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher, Forestieri, Winnall, Nuhiu, Hutchinson, Lee, Pelupessy, Fox, Stobbs, - all out of contract this June. Wickham, Da Cruz, Windass, Murphy, Bates - all have loans coming to an end too. Our manager is also out of contract. I hope we get rid of the f*cking lot. Our squad needs disembowelling. 2 wins in 14 is a sackable run as far as Monk is concerned. Whenever the football resumes, I hope we appoint a manager of a decent pedigree. Sell the likes of Reach, Rhodes, Odubajo, Bannan, Dawson or anyone else likely to raise a transfer fee. Replace the above with young, athletic, injury-free, hungry players with a point to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been almost there since the Premier League and Champions League started but without fans it's pointless and soulless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because players need a pre-season before next season starts, some players contracts end, etc. It could be September or October or something before football returns fully by which time many clubs would have almost different squads and next season should start in last season's place. Sod the few teams that will miss out on honours and promotion. Health and lives are far more important. The season should just restart from the beginning afresh, like it did after the war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I have no idea how this will all play out. I'm guessing this season won't be completed which would be very harsh on clubs like Liverpool. At the end of the day though, who cares? What is happening is far bigger than football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly not ideal, but then again, considering the third rate standard of the present Parliament, it could have been so much worse. We could now be listening to daily press conferences by Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
