If the season was cancelled it is much more likely to be declared null and void rather than the current positions being validated. How can Aston Villa be relegated when they had a game in hand.

I also believe that UEFA will have to allow us in next season's Champions League if we have not yet had our CAS hearing. The subsequent damages we could potentially claim would be a nightmare for them. If we were actually barred pending the appeal then a null and void season would see Arsenal get a Champions League spot, having finished 5th the previous season.

Ceferin has said that he envisages Liverpool winning the League if another ball isn’t kicked so there are a lots of ifs and buts. What’s more certain is that it’s unlikely that Utd will be on their uppers in the near future.
 
Of course it is, but people like Ornstein are still regurgitating this nonsense. The other journo he was talking to stated ffp was good for the game, but not during the present situation, so he was actually defending clubs still millions in debt but who did nothing to insure or prepare for unseen disasters.
Quelle surprise!
 
Our Abu Dhabi sponsors put in at least tens of millions every year. This might not be the Sheikh’s money but they are his and Khaldoon’s contacts.

Sheikh Mansour will want us to be at the top but if our fans try to be too shrewd (eg not committing a penny towards season tickets until the last case of Coronavirus has gone) he might find somewhere else to invest.
CFG have a long term business plan and coronavirus is a bump in the road, but it won't change the plan. So, whatever the investment plans were before, they will remain unaltered but for a small adjustment for the viral damage. When Silverlake invested, the plan was said to be: a stadium for NYC and enhancement of CFG's global IT systems; (and, by implication, City to continue stand on its own two feet, enhancing commercial income.) Can't see that changing.
 
Some football clubs will not survive the corona virus pandemic. The longer it goes on the greater the number of clubs which will not survive it and more and more the talk is not of "getting back to normal" but of having to come to terms with "a new normal". No-one knows what the consequences of this "new normal will be for our way of life and for a sport which depends on thousands of people coming together in a stadium we can't begin to imagine. Club revenues may take a very long time indeed to reach pre-pandemic levels, if they ever do. Clubs at every level are going to require owners and shareholders to put money into their club not only to maintain their status but simply to survive. UEFA's attempt to control the finances of clubs the length and breadth of Europe will stop being simply ridiculous and ignorant and will be ignorant and a dangerous existential threat, especially if it is applied inconsistently to suit the interests of a few clubs. In an extreme case, the cartel will not be threatening to break away, UEFA will be trying to persuade every other club to stay. The decision of West Ham's shareholders to put £30 million into the club is the first sign that some club owners will do what is necessary to support their club without waiting for vague details of UEFA's "relaxation of the rules" and if UEFA tries to do anything about it half the league at least will join us in court to stuff them.
Wonderful irony...
Owners having to flout ffp rules by putting their own money into their own clubs to save them from going bust, when ostensibly, ffp rules were created to stop clubs ....err....going bust!!

It’s, “City to stand on its own two, enhancing commercial income” that supports my point. Thanks
