How would you like the season to be decided?

[TFC]

How about we decide the season with Wembley doubles? Or headers and volleys?

Nah, bollocks. That would put my world records from St Thomas's school field back in the early 90's in very real jeopardy and I cant have that.

Just let the scousers have the records it’s the right and honourable thing.

Well its certainly begrudgingly, but I'm sure they'll feel they have earned them so we should definitely hand over some sort of trophy.

I think tv might still want their say. I cant see Sky allowing several major sports tournaments run at the same time. I'd say the bookies are keeping a close eye too as they may have to pay back millions if some tournaments are not completed , not just football

You just know the thick, bin dipping twats, will line streets for a fanfare, despite the ban on mass crowds....give it then and fuck off in silence!

Please please please let’s not have them play the victims card again, it’s getting monotonous now, give them the league.





oooops sorry, didn’t mean it really...teeheehee

The only fair way is to award all trophies to the winners of this year's League Cup. It's the only competition to have been completed.

Long shots? Gotta think of social distancing!

 

[PistonBlue]

Void the season is winning. I assume this is because for some reason the op has neglected to make awarding the league to liverpool an option?

Yes, that reason being the season will not have been completed, therefore nobody can be nor should be declared the winner whilst it still mathematically possible, however slim the chances are, that more than one team would in normal circumstances still have a chance of finishes top.
Would you be in favour of awarding the FA Cup to City? We are probably favourites as it stands so why not just give it us?

 

[1.618034]

It depends when/if they can start again.

If they can't start until say July/August, then there are two options;

1 Scrap this season and start 20/21 as usual.

2 Finish this season, which would then end around October/November. Then have a winter break/off-season, whilst the virus peaks again(?), and then have future seasons run from March to October. The benefit being that we're then in synch with the Winter World Cup in Qatar in 2022.

Null and void and we start again

to many games to play for it to be awarded to anyone or relegate anyone

 

[deano ou812]

Sky and bt will be trying to influence any decision to not cancel or null and void the season,wouldn’t be surprised if they come up with playing out the remaining games behind closed doors say tues/weds games then sat/sun games repeat again until it’s conclusion,scousers happy ( league title) sky bt happy viewers tuning in ..

I was taking the piss mate - voiding is the way to go.

Give it to Giggsy, oh sorry wrong thread

The season wont start again in April. Given we have players self isolating at various clubs and the fact that we have had no games. The squads will need some kind of pre season training, and as they could be missing players due to SI then the integrity of any matches played would be diminished due to missing players and half fit squads. They would need to be in training now for games to start in April, and that isnt going to happen. If they started training fully now, then it will almost be May before you get a game. We all know that we will be entering the peak of this thing by then so we can forget any resumption of the PL.

Then let's suggest we give Liverpool the title. If that precedent is set, we have to fulfil the final standing obligations of every league. Hows that fair on teams with games in hand and that have the potential to do a Leicester and win 7 from 9 to stay up, and then win the league in the following season. 5000/1 they said, but it happened. Greater odds than is catching Liverpool now and winning the EPL.

It's not a great situation, and Liverpool were going to win the title there is no doubt. But we could also have won the FAC and CL do we get awarded them, do Leeds get the Championship title, do Barnsley get relegated, do Portsmouth with the Leasing.com cup because their favourites against Salford. What would Rat Boy think about that. Fact is there are winners and losers everywhere. You cant award a commemorative plate to Liverpool cos they might have won the league. Portsmouth and City and Leeds and everyone else who might have won something should get one to .

There can be only one solution and that, sadly in my book, is to null and void the season and start again, hopefully in August. But the financial ramifications in the lower leagues need to be on the agenda for the PL. We need to stand together as a footballing community and help out those less fortunate, if only for the fans who like us, love their clubs and dedicate their hard earned and time to them just as we do to City.

 

[Matt the Giant]

The teams I feel most sorry for, are Leeds, West Brom and those teams in the championship on their way to getting into the PL. What a catastrophic economical blow this would be, as well as prestigious and cultural.

I feel the most fair option, or least unfair rather, would be to go with option 3 in the list above.

 

[danielwood5]

The way that VAR has been used to manipulate results and the way that the laws and interpretations of the laws were changed on a weekly basis for the first few months of the season has meant this has always felt like a null and void season anyway so for it to be officially declared null and void would have some symmetry to it.
No idea what happens further down the leagues though, the whole thing is a minefield though but as long as clubs are protected financially and the whole football pyramid starts up again when it's safe to do so with the same number of clubs participating as there are now (sorry Bury!) then I'm not too bothered.

haha, sorry mate been a long week. As you were

 

[jimharri]

...help out those less fortunate.....

I'm assuming there'd be some notable, and obvious, exceptions to that list?
