Tony Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 On top of every other issue they have, I wonder if they’ll also void this season out of FFP calculations. a lot of teams likely to loose a lot of income due to this and would seem unfair to punish because of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting article here. Essentially saying that one idea that has been discussed is that no teams are relegated and the top 2 championship teams are promoted creating a 22 team league with 5 teams relegated the following year. EFL cup would be cancelled for a year to fit the extra games in. Not sure if this will happen but certainly an interesting suggestion and one I'd certainly welcome! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely. Other than maybe everyone loses TV income equal to 10 games, this season is quite easy to get rid of. FFP cannot fairly count a season which was cancelled. Therefore, we have spent the MAXIMUM, and get to do it again. I see no problem with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only flaw is giving Liverpool the title, its not logical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I wonder how it will affect player contracts and the transfer market. I think contracts usually run until end of june, if the season is not concluded by then will we start to see players move. If they start to mess around with contracts you risk contravening employment laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have assumed that in all this mess that the fixed nature of contracts would be a positive and that player moves would be business as usual, certainly there are advantages to be had, i.e. Danny Drinkwater gets erased from history...

blunther Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 A lot of talk about relegation and the like (obviously since we're down there) but that game in hand for Sheffield United could put them in a champions League spot if the Man City ban stands. Arsenal also a game in hand away from a Europa League spot. I've no idea how you could fairly sort that out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL protects PL - I think they’ll do this but the balancing out won’t be 5 teams getting relegated, it’ll be 3 or 4 relegations and only 1 or 2 coming up.

sne Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Apparently Jamie Carragher is panicking about the very real possibility that the season will be void. He's desperate for this season to be finished, no matter where or when. Be it a year from now Them missing the title would be the funniest thing ever.

Demitri_C Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 But if it gets voided who gets cl spots? The same clubs as this year or current placements? Leicester wolves and sheff United won’t be happy with either will United. That’s why I don’t think it will be voided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I think all teams will have to have played the same amount of games ( which means we play Sheffield Utd in our catch up game ) then the league will be decided on the automatic promotion/relegation places.Its the only fair way really.Either way DS should go now.He has had over half a season to show what he can achieve ( 19 th after 28 games ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) The more I think about it the only way for this to work is to scrap the league. Just void it. If you are to delay the 10 matches, like OBE says, to maintain the same squads summer transfers have to be unavailable. Then the relegated clubs will have to sell key assets to survive, and what club will pay £ 50 - 100 million for Grealish and let him play 10 matches for us afterwards. Just won't happen. Two promotions, no relegations, no European footy, and compensation to the playoff teams? Edited March 14, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an incredibly nerve-wracking game that will be if that happens! Like the play-off final in terms of stress only maybe even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
