There’s hardly time to fit in the missed fixtures and what happens if it extends into the next transfer window let alone expiring player contracts etc. It’d potentially be such a mess If the suspension is continued for another 4 weeks, Void the league (maybe work in the use of Var in the meantime) and transpose this seasons fixtures to 20/21 and start again. It’s the fairest thing to do. If you void the season it opens up a great can of worms. Stats for the season will have to be erased. There will be law suits left right and centre by clubs. Transfers windows are the least of the problems, the Euro’s maybe an issue but it could always be played the year after. Two games a week in June or sooner if the crisis is over will finish the season by July. No big deal shouldn’t be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Another reason why I don’t believe they will void the season is tv money. Sky have paid for so many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Off topic but I find that Kaveh bloke intolerable when he is on Sky Sports News. Just one of those people I have an irrational desire to punch, especially during the transfer window. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'd be surprised if any sport is up and running before July. Think it more of a chance of next season being postponed/delayed than this one starting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Seen quite a few examples from the US where big stars like Zion Williamson, Kevin Love Sergej Bobrovskij and other have donated a lot of money so that the people who work for the clubs and in the stadiums are still going to get paid even thou the season is down and there are no games taking place. Not sure how it works in the UK when it comes to the people who works for the clubs and if they are still getting paid but have we seen any examples yet of players donating money? Sure it will come and it's a nice act that doesn't effect the players much if anything but means the world to the people who depend of this income. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise healthy people could die too?! Yes, the majority of the deaths will be elderly people but I don’t think that Chinese doctor was a pensioner... The tweet from Kettering is shocking tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh OK, every time someone young, fit and healthy gets a fever I’ll send my thoughts and prayers. Yeah, shocking tweet from his club wishing him well and saying he’s following medical advice and resting at home for 7 days, absolutely shocking..
