I don't know, they need to decide something and it's not the absolute worst scenario been put forward. This season is done as far as I can see and they have to plan for the next without being sure of when it may start.

There top for a reason. But im sure many are still the same with this. IF it was mathematically impossible for them to not bugger up the league. Award it to them, and then same for those being relegated/promoted.
But all can be caught up/overtaken.
Lets just hope its not a mess like whats going on in the Scottish game.

So you're saying let's guarantee another season is screwed to keep the Money grabbers happy. All you're doing is shifting the problem a few months down the road.

scary figures indeed, but their wrong because the infected/recovery percentage is much much higher than those figures say, the true rate is below 2% and there is a lot of margin for error there

if 21/22 season dosnt get off who will be champions then
Strange how no talk about finishing the FA Cup which involves all clubs in the football pyramid and whose integrity would not be compromised being a knockout competition based on the luck of the draw and relatively few games remaining.
I forgot. Liverpool were knocked out and have been knocked out of the CL too.

Whatever remuneration has been agreed upon for next season is clearly not going to come rolling in so it’s not a question of them forgoing that or not. Logistically it makes a lot more sense for them to concentrate on finishing off this season whenever the chance arises.

From the BBC just now on restrictions in training when they restart:
Tackling will be banned, pitches disinfected and players restricted to groups of five when the Premier League starts a first phase of team training.
League bosses hope training can begin on Monday, restricted to 75 minutes.
Just sack it off, please oh please. Give Liverpool a plastic cup and a shiny badge if they're upset, and let the rest just be.

Football needs to look ahead. Forget about this season and start planning for season 2020/21. They need to agree provisions in case next season is disrupted, delayed or normal competition rules cannot apply to cover all leagues and competitions.
TV and commercial deals as well as players and staff contracts can be renegotiated and provisions made to take into account this year and potential future problems. It is not just about the Premier League and English football. It is a global issue with an impact down to amateur level.
Attempts to prioritise finishing the PL 2019/2020 season will cause major long term problems financially, legally and in the way the game is run. There will be casualties but it is the opportunity to review football at all levels and provide a framework for clubs to plan ahead.
There is no sensible way of finishing this season. It should be declared null and void at all levels if not completed. A separate negotiation should be a financial closure and distribution of monies including a possible trickle down from the PL to lower leagues. The FA also needs to take a lead on funding of the lower leagues in the pyramid.
The yougov public survey shows over 70% do not see an early return of football as a boost to moral. The majority are concerned about health and safety as are players and others in football. Football is in danger of alienating and losing fans through short term interests and greed.

One player can give it to the other four
Disinfecting the boots that have been touched and on the pitch that they are going to disinfect ?

The Gaelic Athletic Association stated that their insurance companies cover covid, but only if the games return when it's safe to do so. Knowing insurance companies, if a player contracts covid, then almost certainly, they returned before it was safe to do so. So there is cover, but actually claiming will be a nightmare and challenged heavily.
I'd imagine it's similar in the Premier League
