Football is done for months True, but it's 'an easier decision' to delay it by 3 weeks and making a call then. I am sure that they will think of some sort a solution in the meantime, so they can make a fair judgement of whether to cancel the season or whatever else.

Not saying they would win, the likely wouldn't. But anyone missing out on £150m due to a force majeure is bound to try. Same with CL places and so on and so on. But to sue someone they have to be culpable, not sure anyone can blame the PL for a viral outbreak on a global scale. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. In the UK ans Sweden at least. But there is huge money involved, and some clubs have foreign owners. Clubs won't just roll over and die. As I said I don't think they will win the cases but the will try. Especially since the PL has been flip-flopping with their stands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scousers in the office have already informed me that as 75% of the games have been played the result stands as is if the season is over. And apparently Newcastle win the FA Cup because they've scored the most goals (yadda yadda they've had two replays) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wainy316 Posted March 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2020 Well as Villa came second in the only competition completed this season we are therefore the national runners up and should be awarded entry to the Champions League. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were to happen then they'd be suing them for the choices they made not suing them for circumstances which arose in which they had to make some choices. Edit: That's not to say that they'd have a case (or a good case) - that would be for legal bods to consider.

In 3/4 weeks time everybody will know someone who knows someone thats been infected! In 5/6 weeks time you will know someone directly who has been infected! In 7/8 weeks you will have most likely been infected yourself! This is now changing hourly, Look after yourselves and those around you.
