I agree with the thrust of what you’re saying and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t try to finish the season. The only caveat is that, if they start again, it must not be behind closed doors. If you accept the very basic premise that playing at home gives an advantage then that is not the same last ten games (which is over 25% of the season) as the first 28, which can’t be right. I know it doesn’t matter, in the grand scheme of things, but Liverpool coming to City, with nobody there, can’t be a disadvantage for them, especially given what happened in January 2019. Teams at the bottom, or pushing for Europe, have been away and lost but will have to play the same team, at home, with no crowd and, therefore, very little advantage.
It’s that, that I object to, not trying to finish the season at some point.
That's exactly I see it, 1without the fans there football is soulless and empty. If the football season is to be finished only if fans in the stadia then it will not be finished so we might as well knock this season on the head and call it a day which I am all for.
Even when football restarts there has to be an element of caution if the virus erupts again, the clever thing the money makers have done is try to instil into fans that it's the rich clubs and footballers and organisations who are suffering and fans should support them, which is nonsense.
