Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

If nobody sees Liverpool win the league, did it even happen? I’m saying no.

I like your thinking.

It's bollocks. Just postpone the season for a few weeks until the worst is over. Put the Euros off for a summer and carry on after Easter. Or just end it and start again next season without any promotion or relegation.

Football is not that important in the scheme of things.

Money is king it seems! Disgusting

I doubt any footballer will die from this unless they've been retired for 40 years

And do you doubt any footballer couldn't pass it on?

Isn’t a two thirds majority required for most major PL decisions?

I have no idea, but cannot see a vote occuring

It won't last a week until a footballer tests positive, then it will be "suspended", so we'll all sit and wait, and watch the numbers carry on upwards, until it can't be played at all, and cancelled.



I think liverpool have won a couple too ;-)

...A couple of foreign charity shields...

Do you think they're saying season ticket holders can stream games as a way of not giving out refunds? £40 a stream seems a bit steep!

madrid will want to play in a empty stadium and if possible cancelled the whole competition and never played at all

the one thing that is 100% is uefa will listen to mardrid demands and will order what madrid feel is right for them and city will have no choice in the matter

My understanding is that there are no existing rules governing this type of situation. It would be up to the PL clubs to decide how to resolve the league standings. And I would be very surprised if many or any clubs would vote against Liverpool being awarded the title. Their greater preoccupation would be on reaching an agreement on the european spots for next season and relegation.

If it goes to a vote I think they’ll come up with....

Champions Liverpool
Runners up Man United
FA Cup Winners. Man United

Relegated Manchester City, Norwich and Aston Villa

Promoted FCUnited, Leeds and WBA

Separately in honour of their esteemed position as European Royalty LFC are declared this years Champions League winners on the basis that this years fixtures could not be completed and they restrain the title as existing champions.

Maybe another option is to get the remaining games played using those twerps that the club seem to be employing to represent us at these FIFA Pro tournaments. I bet most clubs have similar.

So basically it’s going to be an ill thought out shambles?

If the FA and the PL are making the decisions I’d have to assume so....
