So Sadiq Khan doesnt want any games played in London till safe to add to that the athletics event in July at West Ham has been cancelled due to stadium no safe enough and now players are scared to go back training.

How on earth can the season realistically finish?

They say ending the season has been discussed today and 3 teams would be relegated but just cant see it,like you are saying the legal cases would run into the new season and beyond,also not sure if anybody mentioned but apparently the FA cant change a rule it would have to be voted in so they cant demand relegation (sorry if already been mentioned)

Few people have said PL just going through the motions to say they tried etc

So, after all the hype about today's meeting, nothing has been decided.

Nope except the ‘rebel 6’ is more like the rebel 10,11 or 12 on neutral venues

Up to 12 teams not happy with neutral venues they say.So not just the bottom 6 who wasnt happy then.

The lockdown is still on till the 1st June earliest so players can’t go back training all together can they?If they cant they need 3-4 weeks the say which is June 21st,if that is right can the PL even finish?

I can’t help thinking that if the season is called as over then they’ll relegate us. I don’t see void being something they’ll do now because of the hysterical media push for Liverpool to be crowned. We’ll just be acceptable collateral damage. 

Noway you can hand Liverpool the title and relegate us,they havent won the league yet and we arent relegated yet all ifs and buts,has to be null and void only way it should be sorted.

The whole situation is now getting boring,it’s obvious all the PL is bothered about is money which we all already knew.Peoples health is more important to everybody but the PL so let them do what they want now and sort this mess out.

I reckon there is probably 2 or 3 other teams apart from the bottom 6 which would vote against neutral venue aswell

A few weeks back on the Football Show on SSN im sure a journo said they reckon the 14/6 vote may not work as this is a pandemic and a rare event and if a few teams voted no it could be accepted.

Just seen on The Mirror twitter feed(yes i know) a draft of Boris’s apparent plan to get us out of lockdown and it say End June possible return of football behind closed doors.If thats correct surely season is done?

Purslow knows how to steer the debate. Mr reasonable, who also does not want villa relegated. We’re in good hands. 

Ive always said since the start of it all we have 1 huge positive in all this and its Purslow he knows what hes doing!

This comparing to Bundesliga I just dont get,yes they are planning on getting back to football but we are weeks behind them,they have had just under 7000 deaths where we have had 30000!It is far far worse here so they can get back to football with cases so low.

He spoke very well and didnt expect him to say anything different.Wants to carry on but only when safe for players but saying that didnt expect him to come out and say no we dont want to play on etc

Purslow is on Talksport next,it will be intresting what he has to say.

I see it's your 666th post and you have made a deal with the devil and swapped all your life's worth of punctuation and grammar for immortal life ? Or am I way off ?

Yes sir,I was very punctual and good with my grammar up until that post.Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just seen a article on The Athletic that PL Doctors have sent a email with 100 questions on how it can be 100% safe to play and other questions,1st time the Doctors have got involved next players will cant see the league starting and if Boris extends lockdown as they think no chance

Just heard on the news that we shouldnt expect the 2m social distancing measure to be changed any time soon if thats true really cant see football starting soon

Like somebody has mentioned here,EFL want there games played at there original venues,yet PL say its safest way to have neutral venues so cant see how it can work?Also PL have prob said they want 3 teams relegated but thats up to now and Ive seen somebody say that PL rules state season has to finish in order to relegate teams.

Gordon Taylor talking about more subs and games not going for 45 minutes each half. Talk about integrity!

Let's just have 5-a-side with rush goalies instead!

Madenning. What a farce.

Just seen that,the longer this goes on the more farcical it is getting.If the neutral venues wasnt losing the integrity of the game less than 45 mins half definitely is!

Also says would be mid june before a return.

There's still a very reall possibility of the season being cancelled and the table as it stands now being taken as the final table with the current bottom three going down and Liverpool being awarded the title, it's what has happened in Scotland and France and in non league football in this country as well, only league that has cancelled their season but not relegated those in the relegation places has been the Dutch league, but they've also not crowned anyone champions, so it seems from other countries that it's either one thing or the other, no title and no relegation, or title awarded and those in the relegation places relegated, and I can't see them not giving the title to Liverpool.

I think if it came down to a vote it's what most teams would vote for, only those in the bottom three would have a real motivation to vote against it, only thing that may save us if it came down to such a vote, is that perhaps some teams might vote against it so that they may protect themselves from being relegated should they themselves find themselves in the bottom three in a future season which cannot being completed.

Hopefully we decide  to do things a little differently to the other leagues.

 

 

Theres a rule in there league which states if league ends it stays how it is with champions and relegation,PL doesnt have that rule so cant compare it.

Looks like Neutral Venues have been agreed ..

Thats the only option but teams have got to agree on it hardly fair on teams who have played a team away and now will have to play them “away” again,will be no real sporting integrity will there,more and more you read the ideas I think its just time before they say we tried to start the league but we couldnt.
