Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

So if they suspend the season what happens with relegation and promotion?

Germany are saying - results null and void - no champions. No relegation but top two from Bundesliga 2 promoted - so league runs with 22 team next season. Sensible option - can only hope we do the same but who knows with the PL and the FA

Nothing, it'll have to be cancelled altogether for all leagues.

Official statement:



Also a quote from a journalist I don't want to name on here:
'Premier League emergency meeting tomorrow. Am told some figures at certain clubs disagree with the decision to continue, and feel the season should be voided.'

They should grow some bollocks, stick together and refuse to play. I dare the premier league to punish them, the uproar would kill it off completely.

go again with the same teams next season would be the only sensible option imo

Be some brainwave to have a special playoff which generates more money for all concerned.

A number of clubs in & around the bottom six will demand an indefinite suspension at the Premier League meeting tomorrow morning. They have serious integrity concerns following the self-isolation of three Leicester players.

Clubs are furious at the Premier League's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Sources have stated that league bosses have 'lacked leadership' in their response, and complained at being met with a 'wall of silence' when asking questions ahead of this weekend.

Queries from Premier League clubs included advice on whether supporters should be allowed into stadiums and directors were left aghast at 'lukewarm', 'non-committal' replies. [@Jack_Gaughan]

Interested to see the reaction of Wolves tonight, they must be furious. Decent result in Greece but at what cost?

@Wanderingwolf

Disgrace they had to go in the first place, these football bureaucrats are immoral despicable bastards

Void the season. No trophies including our league cup. Start again when things are clear. Lives of people matter more whether they are old and sick or young and healthy.

I suspect they already have, hence the emergency meeting of all clubs tomorrow (lets hope its a video conference).
