Maybe play twice a week in June and July with next season starting in August. 39 minutes ago, David said: This season will be completed before the next starts, no matter how long it takes. Euro2020 will be pushed back a year to allow domestic leagues to be completed. Liverpool will win the Premier League and Leeds unfortunately will be promoted. Well if you believe the current hype, this will still be rife for around 10 to 12 months. If they are halting games now, I can't see them deciding to finish the season from about Jan next year.

In all seriousness, it's about time. I wonder why the Premier League & EFL took so long to take these precautions ? Probably because only yesterday the government and Chief Medical Officer said they could see no reason at this stage to postpone sporting fixtures?

Patrick Rams Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 32 minutes ago, Andicis said: No, we wouldn't, but there is no way it'd be fair on the relegated teams for Leeds and WBA to replace them when they still had a chance of getting out of it. Particularly Bournemouth. Why Bournemouth particularly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Just now, Patrick Rams said: Why Bournemouth particularly? Because they're in the bottom 3 on goal difference, level on points with 2 other teams. To relegate someone who could easily get out of that position without the games being played would be incredibly unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BathRam72 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If it all gets cancelled then the only fair thing to do would be to just start again next season. When ever that might be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Due to how many games have been played this season, I think it is fairer to complete the season whenever that may be and alter the schedules of next season or two accordingly.

I agree it would be very unfair... particularly for Aston Villa... only 2 points behind with a game in hand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I thought said said in the rules if the league it's cancelled the season is null and void. You would hope the EFL would have rules covering this but such a tinpot organisation who knows. Thing is watching a news item in Canada this top virus expert was suggesting this will roll on for 9 months to a year so when will things restart?

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Could they postpone until the start of next season, assuming they can’t complete it before June, then have a break then play a revised shorter 20/21 season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this makes sense, although one of the wrinkles could be the Sky and BT TV deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 With all this uncertainty about the future of football at the moment, I bet Pride Park Stadium is pretty much worthless. No games. No gatherings. It's pretty much useless! Can't be worth much more than a million or so? OK, It's a gamble, but perhaps now would be a good time for DCFC to buy it back from the current owners?

GD is a factor in league position so if they went down because of it then tough 'cos thems the rules. If that argument about GD is valid then you could say the same about points. i.e. someone else could 'easily' get out of that position by losing less ?

GD is a factor at the end of the season, but in the Prem if you've had a harder run of games, and then before you get your easy fixtures you get put down by one goal despite having plenty of games to get you out of it, how is that not unfair? Strength of schedule is a real factor here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Surely the big sticking point is games in hand. You can't relegate a team that has played less games than another? Or promote one that's played more? I don't know if anyone is in that position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WystonRam Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Season will be cancelled, Liverpool don't win the title and Leeds don't go up....bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
