Sure we were favourites for the chumps league at the start of the season,so it should be given to us.
Unfair!!!....The club accused of hacking into the City scouting system and doing everything possible to see us excluded from European football. I'd say it would be nothing less than totally deserved karma.For a season and then adjust the next season or 2.
4 extra games per PL team. Maybe increase the squad size to allow for this. Start earlier, cancel the league cup, end later, force clubs to play x% youth players etc.
I know its Liverpool but I think so far into the season its unfair to void it and behind closed doors isnt fair on the players.
No man, nobody gets awarded anything, you win it or you don’t.My solution.
1) Cancel the league
2) Award the dippers the title. Annoying but fair, really.
3) Nobody relegated
4) Euro slots is the difficult bit, clubs will moan one way or the other, it might have to be based on what the positions are based on every team having played each other once
5) Next season, plan on two regional leagues to reduce games because there's a chance this virus could re-appear in winter if there's no vaccine in the mean time.
God knows what the championship and leagues below do.
Point 2) They haven't won it until they've won it mathematically - cue the PL to bring Liverpool's easiest two home games forward to next Saturday & Sunday.My solution.

Whatever decision is made by FA, for me it should be fully endorsed by the Government
I know, I know. Just not sure I could cope with the high-pitched squeal we'll get for decades if the season is dumped. Another way would be to do as above but finish this season in August-October and then run the regional idea. The problem with that, I've mentioned this before, is some clubs could say that they will be disadvantaged due to players being out of contract etc, etc.No man, nobody gets awarded anything, you win it or you don’t.
We didn’t stop playing when we were staring into the abyss 2-1 down in the 90th minute against QPR and award the title to united.
Juve cannot possibly play Lyon next Wednesday as the club will surely be self isolating. On that basis the round of 16 cannot be completed therefore our game should be postponed rather than be behind closed doorsSo a Juve player tested positive. I think it’s game over now. I would expect all sporting activities to be canceled in the next few days across Europe. Just my opinion though.
It is pretty difficult to please everyone, even worse in times of a national/international emergency. Radio will still work.Regarding this streaming nonsense when potentially playing games behind closed doors, anyone actually thought about those that don’t have wi-fi at home or limited internet access? How they going to watch, my good friend whom I bring to games is 84, hasn’t got any of the trappings we take for granted today as can’t afford them and doesn’t want them anyway. Where’s he going to watch the game, can’t come to mine, or watch with groups in a pub?
Granted that but will he be refundedIt is pretty difficult to please everyone, even worse in times of a national/international emergency. Radio will still work.
You may be correct, but it shouldn't beits more likely to be the other way around
Fair point, but as he's already committed to spending the money he isn't technically out of pocket if they choose not to refund money - it's not extra money he needs to find. If they do full/part refunds I'll be donating my money to those who need help.Granted that but will he be refunded
I fail to see how it can even be played behind closed doors.Sadly I think the rest of the season, or large proportion, will be played by closed doors. If the euros were not being staged they may have been a bit of wiggle room to extend the season, but sadly this year that is not the case.
Hopefully the major finals can go ahead but I am not overly optimistic.
“Empty” Anfield with 40,000 Liverpool “employees” watching...I'm sure the Dippers will accept this with maturity and not overreact in the slightest.
