Rules governing 15.00 broadcasts relaxed.

So if the season gets null and void, that means we are the premier league champions three seasons on the trot, and next season we'll be going for a fourth,
A new record.

I think Klopp and LFC want the Athletico result overturned, their seems to be a lot of press now going into over drive on that.
So dont be surprised for a re start to the prem and possible replaying of that match?

I think the dippers performance was subdued, almost like some of them had muscle aches. If they caught something from the fans then they should get the tie voided and awarded to them.

On what basis? They lost that match fair and square

On the basis that they lost it I imagine

No, not really.

It would mean that we won two seasons, lived through a null and void season, and came back to play for something again. Just like everyone else.

Sky Sports and BT Sport will ask the Premier League for the right to broadcast more matches next season than is permitted under the terms of their contract. Sky currently get 128 live games each season and BT 52, but both want to show more to regain customers.

And that’s how the broadcasters hide their collective tail and back out of this season.

Yeah it'd be like a vacant belt in boxing.

Be careful talk like that will get the media blaming us for the outbreak, especially as we have Chinese investors.

That may well get quite a few clubs on board with cancelling the season as some of them were getting panicky about having to find £38m to refund the TV companies.

Think this actually works for most parties. Clubs get to keep this year's money sky bt get to show the extra number of games they didn't show this season next season.
