Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Let them have their fake hollow title. Everybody including them will know they haven’t really won it... and every opposition fan will let them know at every Liverpool game next season

no feck em they still haven't won it mathematically

Can you imagine Leeds United fans right now. They have struggled for years to get back to the PL and just when it is about to happen along comes COVID19.

Just one Club who will be fighting for all their worth to continue the season at some stage or at least be guaranteed promotion.

However there are far too many Clubs who will not want the current tables declared as final due to all the financial ramifications.

One great big bloody mess, thank you God for the Carabao Cup and Charity Shield.

The problem is that apparently the PL don’t have any rules covering this situation. There’s absolutely nothing that says the season should be voided in these circumstances. So that option is just as likely to result in court action as any other.

the PL don’t have any rules covering this situation
Well i suppose the old D1 didn't have any rules between 1914-18 & then between 1939-45
So hypothetical they might have a rule,just encase we have a modern WW3,or something else like a pandemic..

The song "You nearly won the league" will never, ever be more glorious.

You need to look at the original post which was that it was a slam dunk the government would take it out of the football authorities hands.

They didnt. They stood up and explained they're not going to.

The government took it out of the football authorities hands. Football has stakeholders, let me assure you that they had no say in this, whatsoever. They are already furious with UEFA for the Liverpool game the other night.

That would be my view.
Let them have it if they think that's all that matters. Shower of self entitled wankers.Just get the thing stopped.

My view is that the domestic season will be voided but the outstanding CL and Europa League games will be completed in the summer.
♫ Istanbul Istanbul we are coming ♫

Would they not finish the season in July/August and start up the season Mid October. Premier League teams enter the FA cup in later rounds. No League Cup.
