According to today's DM, IF the PL season is abandoned, then CL places will be decided using UEFA's coefficient system (based on the last 5 years).
Liverpool, City, plus Arsenal (9th in PL) and guess who else...United of course.
Spurs, Leicester & Chelsea for the Europa.
Arsenal & United? You couldn't make it up...except UEFA obviously can.

Who had the most coefficient points?
Presume they would be in pot 1

He's also keen that the relegation spots stay as is I think. My guess is its still possible for Brighton to go down if the season is completed and he's probably shoved a lot of money on the dippers last year as he had a 'hunch' they may win. He's been the loudest voice in support of the dips winning since games stopped so I'll leave it for you to decide for yourself if he's a complete amoral degenerate that's gone all in betting on a dipper title win, or perhaps he's just concerned with the integrity of the league and #justice?

Add our ban to the mix and coincidentally they've nearly got their 1990s 'sky four' back.

Agreed. As much as from a football point of view it’s amusing if they don’t finish the games to win it outright. We all know if we allow ourselves to not be pedantic that they had absolutely pissed it this year. I’d have happily let them have it if it meant we could have a good shot at the European cup and had the FA Cup to defend. Unique obviously in the fact that they hadn’t officially won it but if it’s handed to them I couldn’t really give a shit now. It would be tainted and that’s unlucky on their part, couldn’t happen to a nicer club. I actually couldn’t really give a shit now if we won the Champions League in say September. The season has gone and it can never be what it was. Hopefully in a couple of years things return to normal as for the closed doors games, whether the scousers get handed a title they’d have won etc who really gives a fuck now or in 12 months time?

One thing can’t be argued though football has showed its lack of class and greed from the outset here. Hardly a surprise to most I’m sure.

That's mostly where I am at. I like the later CL games as the nights get longer. I was looking forward to the Euros and watching with mates who support other clubs in various city centre pubs. Not sure watching the CL games on my own in August, even if we win it, was the same of watching it with my old man surrounded blues in town. I'd take Liverpool winning to have them moments back in a second, but we are where we are.

UEFA now changing their tune. I think the significance of the Dutch League (Eredivisie) being suspended is more important than what one might think at first and we will see this model being touted as time and solutions are running out fast.
2 of the 14 founding clubs of the G14-cabal are dutch. Ajax and PSV. I predict poor AZ Alkmaar as well will be in for a bit of football reality once the UEFA coefficient system has done it's part....
