This isn't going to start flattening out until the end of May at the earliest. Then it's going to need 4 weeks for the players to get back to full fitness. So the end of June is absolutely the most optimistic opportunity to restart the season. I'd say there's a 75-80% chance the season is over.

Yeh can't see it myself

They've locked their "Premier League suspended until 30th April" thread on RAWK.

It was getting a bit fraught in there, and credit where it's due, the consensus, with notable exceptions, was this thing is bigger than football.

Blimey! Sanity Breaks Out in Merseyside! As incongruous a headline as Tevez in Morecambe.

Both Salah and Allison. Napoli's president brought that question up when they sold Allison to Liverpool as he wanted to buy Allison too. He then said it might be that both clubs have same owners.

De Laurentiis also questioned the fee Liverpool paid for Alisson, claiming he was worth far more and there was no way he would have sold him for the amount paid.

Discovered something earlier. The company that owns AS Roma is American and one of the main people in that company is called Thomas DiBenedetto. He's a partner in FSG, Liverpool's owner, and was chairman at Roma for a while after the takeover in 2011. The current chairman at Roma is Italian-American James Pallotta. He has no overt connection to FSG but he is a Bostonian and is friendly with the FSG people. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/fsg-viewing-liverpools-champions-league-14538417

The other two owners are Michael Ruane, another Bostonian who is big in real estate and Richard D'Amore, from - you guessed it - Boston.

Liverpool beat Roma in a high-scoring CL Semi Final in 2017/18. They also got Salah from there. Interesting.

There’s a really good article in, I think, the Athletic, on this relationship with the implication that the Americans were working against Roma’s interests and in Liverpool’s. They cited both Salah and Allison being sold at well below their market values the Liverpool much to, I think, Roma’s chairman’s annoyance.

The Roma chairman is a mate of John Henry's. He supposedly "complained" about the Salah price when they had lunch together.

Shouldn't the thread title "Liverpool thread 2019/20" be changed to "Liverpool thread Null & Void"?

That's why they've locked it.

Didn't they have a higher bid rejected
