Is it shameful what the FA are doing?

To quote a well known dipper phrase, it would be justice if the most corrupt season of all time was made null and void. Liverpool have been given a helping hand (or whistle blow/review) at every opportunity. We have suffered the opposite. It also seems to escape everyone's notice that if the season finishes now we lose the chance of a treble having already won the Carabao Cup and being in the last eight of the FA Cup and almost in the quarter finals of the @Holy Grail' itself.
 
In the scheme of things this season doesn't really matter anymore now,it has gone on too long now for anyone to really care.

This season will always be remembered for the wrong reasons,and even if Liverpool do get crowned as champions,the gloss is well and truly been taken away now,no matters what happens going forward.

From a contradictive perspective I'll be pissed off about the 2 cups we are still in,but get it null and voided,give us our money back,or credit for next season,then let's go again whenever that may be.

I take your point but for how long and how far can you kick the can down the road? There will soon arrive a point that it will be meaningless to finish the current season from a sporting perspective at least. The argument that we must finish this season because we are unlikely to be able to start a new one is not particularly strong imo. Better to have some form of mini competition in 20/21 than to restart an already uninteresting league months after it had been suspended. Of course money talks loudest especially in the world of football.

I don't think the Liverpool being so much better than everyone else that the title is a foregone conclusion is a valid reason for not completing a season.

The title is almost irrelevant, everything else has more significance to the club's involved, i.e. who goes into next season's Champions League? Who gets relegated? Who gets promoted?

Makes much more sense to finish a season that's nearly done, even if it's next year, than it does to think about starting a new competition.

This season is already fucked. Even if the games are finished it will be most probably behind closed door with player playing who arent really fit.

I think the best thing to do is null avoid this season. Under no circumstances should this season be allowed to impact in anyway into next season. Also, no more games should be allowed if the full schedule of league and cup games cant be completed which obviously the cant.

Why is next season so much more important than this season? Because we have a better chance of winning the league next season as Liverpool have all but won it already this season? What a self-centred viewpoint.

What about relegation and promotion? What about European qualification? These things will affect club's futures and prospects. It makes no sense whatsoever to cancel a season that is almost complete, in order to start a new one "on time".

The 2022 world cup is going to screw schedules up anyway. Why not finish this season by the end of this year and have next season run February 2022 to November 2022 before the world cup in December? Then you have to decide whether to stick with Feb-Nov moving forwards, or create a smaller competition for the early months of 2023 to get back on track with starting seasons in August.

By the time it can start again there is no way that 'ending' this season will be in any way a fair representation. Players returning from injury, losing fitness, contracts expiring etc all change the landscape hugely from when play ceased in March. Not so much of an issue for the top two places which are pretty much done, but most unfair to the marginal promotion/relegation and euro slots.
 
The draw for the first qualifying rounds for next seasons European competitions is due on June 9th. The Community Shield is due on Aug 2nd. Next season cannot be extended too much as the chances of the Euros being cancelled next year is negligible (Coronavirus permitting). Can anyone sensibly suggest how long this season can be extended? Don't forget if this season is extended, then clubs need to plan for next season (in a lot of cases different budgets for different divisions). The fixtures also have to be finalised, season tickets sold and TV coverage planned. As it stands I calculate that if the season restarted at the beginning of May then it would be July 25th when it finishes. As per the Dacia advert, you do the maths.
 
How much money would those crying about losing revenue if this season is not finished be prepared to lose from next season not being played at all?

If this season drags on into september or whatever, next season will not be happening.

Better to lose 10/38 of this seasons money than 38/38 of next season's.

This season has to be null and voided. Unfortunate but unavoidable. I've always said it but this proves it, even god himself hates the scousers.

Completing this season would give clubs losses of part of their revenue. Scrapping next season writes off 100%.

So what? - other parts of the economy are just being told to buckle up for a bumpy ride and a long road back to balanced books. Why is football different or special, apart from the level of greed/money involved? FFP will have ensured clubs are well equipped to ride out such a storm, as of course it was put in place to ensure they are all financially robust :)
