mickthemagpie Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Think the last thing we need next season is an expanded Premier League Only for one season....though I agree it’s not ideal Came up with the same idea. It reduces the risk of legal action by teams who would feel aggrieved at any decision that stops that happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Void all league seasons here in our own game, everyone starts again where they are now with the number of points separating everyone right now where each team starts with the same points in difference. So Liverpool whatever points they are ahead of City will start the new season with the same number of points and so on and so on. Fair for all. No way the season can be finished now and it would be unfair and legally challenging to just rule the season done right now RE promotion, relegation, titles, play-offs, CL and other Euro spots. I couldn’t care less about the FA Cup or European competitions btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Stop all cups and finish the leagues behind closed doors from the first week in June Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chicken little Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Stop all cups and finish the leagues behind closed doors from the first week in June A Premier League game "behind closed doors" is still going to involve hundreds of people - players, coaching staff, medical staff, stadium staff, broadcasting staff - meeting in a comparatively small space. Naive to think the situation will have ameliorated enough by the first week of June for this to be a good idea. Forget this season, I don't see how the next one will be able to start in any reasonable sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 WWE are doing similar (slight difference I know), but I’m guessing if everyone is clear of it and just travelling together then it’s not likely to spread or be caught? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 That's not the entire reason tho, there is a call on the NHS for every game plus if there was an accident or injury that requires medical treatment its pretty stupid to drain NHS resource at this critical time just to play a game of football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 In my opinion we should not start a new season before finishing this one. It might be a case where in June playing games but behind closed doors is safe enough. I think one of the reasons why they have discussed having games behind closed in certain locations was so that there would be enough medical coverage in that location, and it restricts the travelling required. It could also be that you could have minimal amount of TV crew etc all being used. I think it should be safe enough to have games played behind closed doors in June/July, especially if at the time those who are being asked to isolated for 12 weeks are allowed out.

Wullie Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 In reality you'd need many hundreds of people in mass quarantine for weeks to make it work, and if one person gets it the whole thing shuts down again. It sounds good but I'm not convinced it's practically possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky Jim Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Why do we have to finish this season.......Liverpool are champions, no relegations....current leagues position stands.Even if they are allowed to restart in June/July, the players will have had a longer close season than in a normal situation.Fitness levels will be low, training at home does not replicate full aerobic team training.There would have to be at least 3-4 weeks of pre season type friendlies to get everyone back to fitness levels. Behind closed doors or at a neutral venue does not reflect a fair contest Bournemouth v Leicester with no crowd hopelessly advantages Leicester...Norwich v Chelsea, AV v Liverpool....the home team would have expected a slight help. Is it fair that we’ve played all but Man City away and those teams in relegation positions against similar away venues now get to play them on a neutral ground. There are so many other reasons where clubs will be disadvantaged....I would hate to be relegated because Pork Pie Chops couldn’t gets his players motivated enough to get any more points etc etc.No for me, end the season now, prepare teams for the new season whenever it might start....oh and what about lost revenue for this season....we’ll how about try and negotiate a better deal for media companies next season, as a one off, to compensate them for lost revenue this season.....Rant Over!

Wullie Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Then what happens when next season shuts down early due to a second wave of cases? Do we cancel that season too, give Norwich City yet another stay of execution and another £100m for staying in the top flight? The current season has to take priority, at least when it's done everyone will have some breathing room to decide what to do next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the fairest way for everyone, if would be champions don’t like it, it’s the same situation for everyone. Football won’t be being played anytime soon maybe for another 12 months even anyway, there are far more proper industries that need to recover and restart way ahead of football. Playing behind closed doors would be selfish as it means so many people will be putting themselves at risk and the last thing nurses, doctors, medics and so on need is to be dealing with cases fro, the football world or have their expertise taken away to be on duty during a football game. Void the season, everyone starts again on the same points difference and in the same positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
