Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

It's okay. Just put an asterisk next to it.

The irony...just imagine

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

If they did that they will have too relegate the teams at the bottom, because the teams at the top of the other leagues will also expect to be awarded the title and be promoted.

That is my hope. There'll be so many other teams arguing about relegation and promotion, it'll be really messy and couldn't be sorted . Dippers will claim giving them the title doesn't affect any other teams. A strong case if they win 2 more games. If it turns into a real bun fight and squabble it'll affect their chances. Next few days will clinch it, today's meeting will be crucial

If the meeting is this morning at the PL hq, then they should cancel the season. No doubt that there will be a certain club shouting and spitting phlegm about continuing

Unfortunately, the clubs that matter will want it to continue behind closed doors, so it probably will.

depends how many are saying cancel or continue I suppose

big call because if it is a small minority saying continue and the PL choose to then they should get all the backlash they deserve

And if they do there will be thousands of scouse rats outside the ground as they just had to be there to witness istree being made. They just need to suspend the season now.

At this rate if we sign Skriniar in the summer he's gonna be making his debut in our next game !!!!!!

Can’t do it without the other 18 though can they.

The options are
1) continue behind closed doors?
Virtually impossible now as too many clubs effected
2) suspend the season until?
Getting more difficult as no one knows when it will be possible to continue The government spoke about 14 weeks that’s mid July around about pre season
3) make this season void?
Obviously a lot of clubs, not just PL will not want this as it is disadvantageous for them

imho the only option is 3 but I think 2 is the likely outcome from today with a proviso that it will be reviewed in a few weeks

I cannot see any other option than voiding the seasons and European places being awarded on the end positions

As you say, playing behind closed doors is out of the question. Suspending it is pretty unworkable - amongst the obvious reason that we are only at the start of CV, players contracts run out in June/July, the summer heat could make games unplayable across Europe and then the issues of pre-season and the transfer market

There is no end in sight of CV, no even close. Better to. Just call it a day and hope that next season starts in August
