This season is written off trust me. I dont think the German idea works - I think you start from scratch again whenever we can, same teams in same leagues as started this season. Where does this prediction originate from? It's not consistent with figures from China and the numbers rose far more exponentially in Italy and Iran. I am thinking 4 -6 weeks for peak infection then a gradual reduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 "This suspension does not apply to Joey Pelupessy, of Sheffield Wednesday FC, who has already demonstrated he can be invisible on the pitch." Sorry, Joey, just had to :P On a serious note, will they just finish the seasons after a set number of games and draw a line and conclude promotions and relegations based on that? Or will they make the season last longer. Doubt there's any European Championship they need to consider any longer, so if a season drags on for another 3-4 weeks longer than before, probably few consequences? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players contracts expire 30/6. It would be impossible to complete the season if this ban lasts beyond the end of April. It's going to get abandoned.

If West Brom go up, that's worth a minimum of £20m in television money alone. Wow, the deaths of millions of people pale into insignificance compared to this tragic news! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the EFL use this time without games to sort it and us out. If so i doubt they would be able to hit us with a high points deduction this season, unless it means we still stay up (wishful thinking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeJayOne Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 'I don't see matches being played until after virus peak' - Simon Stone, BBC Sport In theory, matches could be played this weekend. It is the clubs who have made the decision today – the government said yesterday matches could continue for now. No-one, certainly not me, knows how long the current situation will last for. I don’t see matches being played until the coronavirus problem has passed its peak point, which the medical experts said yesterday could be between 10 and 14 weeks.

It’s a national pandemic with public health at risk. It outweighs any sporting challenge IMO. By definition a pandemic is worldwide. Just saying.
