Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

So if they suspend the season what happens with relegation and promotion?

Germany are saying - results null and void - no champions. No relegation but top two from Bundesliga 2 promoted - so league runs with 22 team next season. Sensible option - can only hope we do the same but who knows with the PL and the FA
 
Official statement:



Also a quote from a journalist I don't want to name on here:
'Premier League emergency meeting tomorrow. Am told some figures at certain clubs disagree with the decision to continue, and feel the season should be voided.'


They should grow some bollocks, stick together and refuse to play. I dare the premier league to punish them, the uproar would kill it off completely.
 
A number of clubs in & around the bottom six will demand an indefinite suspension at the Premier League meeting tomorrow morning. They have serious integrity concerns following the self-isolation of three Leicester players.

Clubs are furious at the Premier League's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Sources have stated that league bosses have 'lacked leadership' in their response, and complained at being met with a 'wall of silence' when asking questions ahead of this weekend.

Queries from Premier League clubs included advice on whether supporters should be allowed into stadiums and directors were left aghast at 'lukewarm', 'non-committal' replies. [@Jack_Gaughan]
 
Void the season. No trophies including our league cup. Start again when things are clear. Lives of people matter more whether they are old and sick or young and healthy.
 
Genuine question, if the season ends up being void, what happens to Sergios records? :/

Edit: of course he got them the proper way, and we will all know that, but he deserves to be in the record books properly

Clubs should make a statement by telling fans not to come and refunding, it won't hurt their profits much and I don't think it's against the rules
 
So apparently it's unsafe to have press conferences with about 50 people, but 40k people in the crowd is fine?
Or hundreds packed with loads of germs in the trams after the games. So tightly packed that l got a dose of the clap after one match and a woman in the next coach got pregnant with twins. Pubs packed solid as well.
The London underground must be even worse on match days and daily commuting alike.
 
Sensible decision Sheila. My parents, who are both in their 70s with underlying health issues, will also both be staying away.

That's a word very rarely associated with me Ric!! Sheila and sensible are not usually compatible! However like your parents, it is the only decision. I don't like it but it is the best thing for our families as well as ourselves. I bet they don't want you to be worried about them the same as mine obviously don't. Give them my best. As it is a 3.00 kick off it won't be on TV but hey ho I can never watch a full match on TV if I am not there.

I shall however be wearing my full kit as well as my scarf. Just as if I was going to the match!! Only the coat won't be worn!
