not a chance in hell that football will be playing in June. 10 weeks away is the predicted peak of this virus. Far worse than now.

Chinese Openly blaming United States.

US Senators threatening China.

No football might be the least of our worries.

The rhetoric between China, and United States, is becoming increasingly hostile.

We could eventually see WW3 start over this.

The Chinese government is responsible. They tried to hide it for two months. They also created Wet Markets in the 80s - a time bomb that has been ticking away ready to explode.
 
There is no way the season is going to resume (in my opinion) we are a few weeks away from more draconian measures in this country the government are just biding their time I think the season will be voided anything else and they would be open themselves up for lots of legal challenges because nothing is a mathematical certainty bad luck Liverpool, next year will be your year
 
No matter what team you support and no matter how strong your dislike for any other team this really is a no brainer.
All football has to stop, all sporting events and more thought given to large gatherings.
The sad thing is that is it takes once in a generation things like this to remind the majority of us about personal hygiene.
I do fear that the delay until April will only be a starting point and could well see the restrictions lasting until 2021..but if it saves lives then who cares.
Contrary to the great Mr Shankly, football (or any sport) is not more important than life and death.

You can not award Liverpool the title because they mathematically have not won it.

If you did this.

Then how do you decide who finishes in the top 4 ?

How do you decide who is to be relegated ?

How do you decide who is to be promoted ?

How do you decide Champions League winner ?

The only realistic,logical, way is to declare the entire football Season "Null and void ".

No other fair way of doing it.

You can not award Liverpool the Title without opening a can of worms and potential law suites from teams missing out on Top 4,promotion,relegation etc.

The 1939-40 season was 3 games in with blackpool top of the old first division when war broke out and the league suspended and no trophies given.
