Season ticket holder and been going to City since 68/69. Right now, football doesn't matter at all - trophies, league positions, promotions, relegations. This inch-by-inch pushing back of the season will very likely continue - how on earth does the Prem know what the situation will be on 30 April ? Beggars belief how anyone can talk about football with any enthusiasm.

Someone tell them players are human beings and half of them and the coaching stuff will probably be isolating not to mention football is a contact sport and they spit all over the place,who is advising these stupid fuckwits

 

[blue oli]

FFS - we are hours away from military deployment to support the police and they are still wittering on about sodding finishing the season - complete idiots.

 

[waspish]

watching Neville and Spit the dog seems all clubs will want to finish the league because those clubs will lose out on there 750m share.

They should follow germany and get sorting out the legal and money side of things,surely in a national crisis the various bodies and clubs can sort something out,the players will hopefuly refuse to play,on the pitch is not a safe place for them,they are always hugging each other as well

Agree but listening to those chuckle brothers seems even if they play 20 games in 2 weeks it’s fine players will adapt and it be a football festival! It’s a joke.

 

[Whether or not]

Just being watching that reptile Carragher on SKY. To paraphrase, let people die, let people starve, lose homes, jobs, etc. Who cares as long as the eternal victims are awarded the league. I knew the man was a low form, but Jesus wept.

I suspect that this is purely legal posturing. They know damn well that nothing will happen on 30 April (nor on 30 May, if what the world's best virologists are predicting is to be believed), but they're covering their arses for any breach of contract argy-bargy with the huge satellite companies towards the end of this year.

I have just switched sky sports on,i can't listen to ratboy as i keep looking at the scouse twat and thinking of him spitting on somebody and spreading his germs

 

[kaz7]

Football bodies are talking to the government,they are a business as well and some sort of rescue package-sky sports

 

[Cellarite]

I can’t wait to see what happens when every club in English and European football breaks FFP rules.

The blonde baffoon said within 12 weeks this should be gone, so that's June. I assume that means they finish the remaining games and go immediately into another season. They're probably going to propose something like cancelling the league cup and maybe shortening the FA cup somehow, if not cancelling that too.

Seems like an absolutely mental plan, if that's what it is.

Johnson said that in 12 weeks we could be in a situation where things are starting to get better. He absolutely didn’t say it would be over in 12 weeks.

That’s absolutely what’s going on. No way in a million years will this season get finished

 

[dublinblue12]

For clubs that don't want to lose out in the money - what happens next year when there is no season to begin with

 

[davek1808]

The Premier league can say they'll take as long as they want, the rest of Europe won't and they will be wanting a new season once this one is beyond rescue (fact) as some Spanish someone or other, said.

 

[kaz7]

The Premier League are prepared to go behind closed doors and deep into the summer to get the season finished unless prevented by the Government on health grounds.

Premier League clubs have agreed to stop using the phrase “null and void” if, in the worst-case scenario, the season cannot be completed and instead talked about a “curtailment”. That would undoubtedly mean, come what may, Liverpool will be crowned champions.

@TeleFootball

There we have it,they are going to crown the dippers even though they still need 6 pts

 

[chaddblue]

Can't believe the scousers are rejoicing that the PL have announced the season will be finished whatever happens. Doesn't take a genius to see they're obviously buying time and protecting themselves from a shitstorm and threats of legal action from the clubs that will lose out. No chance is this season finishing
