Leipzig, Dortmund and Monchengladbach will all be fuming if Bayern are awarded the title considering all 3 of them have been top at various stages and Bayern only recently reclaimed 1st place. That title race is far from over. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 13 March, 2020 Share Posted 13 March, 2020 Euro 2020 is almost certainly off, maybe to be played in 2021. One possibility is to postpone all leagues until the middle of the summer, and see if it can be finished then. With a delayed start of the next season if the current one can be finished in the summer. If so, eliminate the League cup to reduce matches next season, and no FA cup replays.

whelk Posted 13 March, 2020 Share Posted 13 March, 2020 So are all the people demanding games get called off going to give games a miss if they do go ahead? I can’t see them going ahead but would still go if we were playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things start to get messy if you delay though as players contracts end etc. As much as it’ll **** off a handful of clubs, no promotion, no relegation, no title (in all leagues) is the only way to go.

Shandy_Top_89 Posted 13 March, 2020 Share Posted 13 March, 2020 I think it will be a gradual process. Firstly the Leagues will all be suspended temporarily, then Euro 2020 will be pushed back to 2021 to open space up in the Summer for the season to finish. Obviously if time to play starts running out then maybe you get into cancellation territory, or next season is altered in some way to allow this one to finish. Just total unchartered territory really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 13 March, 2020 Share Posted 13 March, 2020 If the season is awarded to Liverpool, no doubt their fans will have an open top parade and the scousers will act defiantly by going out in their thousands to celebrate. Then when they end up transmitting the virus to their families will blame the government for not cancelling the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igsey Posted 13 March, 2020 Share Posted 13 March, 2020 Portsmouth team in isolation after playing Arsenal, now Arteta has tested positive. No way the league finishes, if there's any games this weekend it will be a farce. Not such a big deal for Premier League teams but you have to feel sorry for L1 and L2 clubs (except the blue few, of course) who rely on ticket sales every week to keep going.

SKD Posted 13 March, 2020 Share Posted 13 March, 2020 There's no fair way to end the season. But people need to accept it's ultimately not that important. The Premier league need to help clubs who suffer financially because of it though. Just focus on next season. Otherwise this one is delayed, half empty stadia or BCD, matches all over the place, people unable to go at short notice anyway, fixture pile up. And it'd run into next season. Players need a summer break, so you end up writing off next season. What's better? Finishing a massively disrupted season without the fans and with health risks then messing up the following season, or writing off the disrupted season and coming back from a fully fit normal season in August/September? Kind of disgusting if it's going to carry on just for money with no care for the extra people who'll die. Why disrupt 2 seasons, when you can only disrupt 1. It’s not fair on those challenging for promotion / titles, but it’s also not fair people are going to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't personally see the season finishing now, I guess they have to keep the possibility of it continuing as it would be in everyone's interests to get back playing as soon as possible.

tajjuk Posted 13 March, 2020 Share Posted 13 March, 2020 Can't see it resuming either, we could be at peak virus time then. They should also note that most football fans are complete idiots and will turn up to games even if they are showing symptoms and will infect others, if you just resume the games then you'll create a new peak of cases and therefore cause more deaths. No way in 4 weeks this is going to be cleared up. Have to just cancel this season, and hopefully next season won't be impacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
