Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[cleavers]

Surely they will just void the leagues, give the scousers the trophy (lets be honest they should have it - no one is catching them) and then just NOT relegate anyone (Hard on the teams int he promotion spots in the lower leagues but not much else that could be done that wouldnt mean adjusting the size/numbers in the leagues - which aint going to happen.

There'd be legal action all over then though, you can't declare someone champions and then ignore everyone else, the only way is to cancel all leagues and start again in August (whenever it's safe too, which might not be August).

Are they doing this for all sports or just football?

There would be uproar but the government calling a state of emergency or similar would scupper all claims, like in the war.

Just cancel the Euro's, suspend football until May/June then if the situation is under control resume it. None of this behind closes doors shit, anyway if a few players catch it what happens then?

Yes true, but it will happen, see Italy, Spain, Germany, Italy have now suspended their league, Spain are discussing it, we'll announce behind closed doors, and then be there in 10 days imho.

All bets are off :)

 

[Whether or not]

If they void the season can you imagine the reaction of Leeds and WBA who are clear in the Championship. Then there are the European places for next season etc. It is a huge mess and it will get much worse before it gets better. But one thing is sure, the greedy, corrupt chancers running football will put revenue before public health all day long.

Shinty.

It is on both counts.

so they basically waited for dippers to beat atletico in front of their fans (that aged well) and will announce it just before they are away at dippers derby. Sounds fair.
