Kaizero Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I think its virtually certain that this season won't get finished even with games played in empty stadiums. Just do what the French have done and promote and relegate based on the positions clubs are currently in. Concentrate on trying to start the next season on time. How long are you allotting for all the lawsuits? I read the Dutch league might overturn their decision to cancel the season due to the lawsuits clubs are bringing.

The problem there is in France all bar 2 teams have played 28 games so the missing fixture would not affect relegation. In England you can’t draw a line for relegation as some teams have played less than others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so 3 up 0 down, next season 6 down. Just the top 3 go up and no playoffs? Yup. No games at all. No fans inside grounds till 2021 earliest. Contracts can’t be extended by force, clubs won’t extend them and players won’t play. 66k cv19 t3sts needed to finish off the games and those tests cannot take priority over nhs.

Away Toon Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 What happens when Liverpool are confirmed champions and thousands of fans maybe hundreds of thousands go to Anfield to celebrate? Not sure how that can be stopped. What happens with the FA Cup does it just get cancelled? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been stories about parties etc already. So the more mature players potentially with kids having to in effect increase their social circle to toe rags. Out of 500 players I reckon there will a few that refuse to take part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 How could teams being promoted but no teams being relegated work? It would create a situation where even more games would need to be played next season. Also the league at the bottom of the pyramid would have less teams than usual.

Would only affect the leagues feeding into the national league.....National league, leagues 1&2 and Championship would have the same numbers...agreed Premier league would have 2 teams more....more games in 2020/21 season but if 5 teams relegated instead of 3, premier league back down to 20 teams.

Jinky Jim Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 End season now...no relegations...top 2 teams each division down to national league promoted....no play offs(All teams in positions 1&2 in those divisions are there on merit)....Unfortunately Premier league will have 22 teams and more games for season 2020/21.....5 teams relegated from premiership......give sky sports/ bt more games for next season as a sweetener for cancelling this season........too many problems starting to become an issue with carrying on this season.

Liverpool are champions all but mathematically that will be confirmed after a couple games. So the only reason the season is finished is financial and to decide champions league spots. So 4-5 motivated teams. 14-15 teams with players who are playing for noting and potentially don't want to be there. There will be some shocking results. What a farce..
