Just write the season off, we stay up and Liverpool don’t win the league, perfection.

sne Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Mentioned it a week or 2 ago I think the way to do it is to not relegate any teams and to promote the top 2 or 3 from the Championship and play the league with 22 or 23 teams next season. Then have more teams relegated that season. It's not ideal but IMO it's the best solution. It's the way they are going about it in Germany apparently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls to that, just null and void the entire season in my opinion, for all divisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense for all the money leeches as more games can be televised and more games to played in stadiums. Businessmen of this world would be happy with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't work. Teams have been playing for months to achieve a goal, so they have a right to reach that. Liverpool need to be named champions and get all that goes with it, as do, Leeds and probably West Brom, and then continue down the leagues. The real issue is what to do with the teams at the bottom. Taking ourselves as an example, whilst we are shit, we have a game in hand on the others around us which if we win (hahaha), we would be out the relegation spot. So there is no way we would accept being relegated because we just so happen to be in one of the spots now. Its going to be really really difficult to sort, but the teams who are set to gain something, deserve to be able to achieve that.

Can see the point of view though. Either we finish the season with 38 games, or the season is void and we go again next year. Can't pick winners or losers in any division when there's games left to play. Edited March 13, 2020 by PieFacE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) I work as a chef at a sports bar/gastro pub (1 kitchen 2 restaurants). Not much sport going on for the foreseeable future is there... No PL, CL or ice hockey play off. My hours will be cut to pretty much nothing and so will everyone I work with. Can't really work from home in my profession. Thankfully I've build up a buffer over the years but it's money i'd much rather spend on other things. Edited March 13, 2020 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

StefanAVFC Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Suspending until April is just kicking the can down the road and with the government measures basically amounting to 'carry on as normal' this will only get worse.
