Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Call the season to an end, no one goes up or down and the Premier League parachute payments should be distributed amongst the lower league clubs to prevent them going out of business due to loss of earnings. The fact it screws The Treetards and The Dirties is an added bonus ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atherstoneram Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 2 minutes ago, Crazy said: As much as I'd love to see the reaction of Liverpool, Leeds and Forest fans if the season was abandoned, I think it's too far into the season for that to happen now. And I can't see them declaring the table final as it is now either - too many potential legal battles with teams relegated/ missing out on promotion. If Euro 2020 is cancelled/ delayed, that might allow time to play the postponed fixtures. Otherwise, I think they'll finish the season in the autumn, followed by a shortened 2020/21 season - e.g. play every team once, split the league in half, then play every team in your half once more. I don't think there would be anything to stop the league being finished now, how could you have potential legal battles. That would just be clubs presenting supposition/assumption to the courts that they could have got promotion/avoided relegation if the season had continued whereas the EFL would present facts ie current league positions which they have deemed the fairest outcome in the circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Its almost certain that the Euros will move to next year. Call a six week break now, suspend players contracts until the resumption, four weeks somewhere safe like China, then a mini 2 week end of season pre season to get back up to speed. Play the season out, shortest possible break then immediately start the new season. Move the windows to suit the new arrangements, scrap the League cup, with the PL making exceptional payments as compensation, they can afford it after all, no need for many international breaks next year as qualification is pretty much decided for the delayed Euros. No replays in FA Cup either, straight to pens every time. Loads of time to play next season, no boring international breaks to stop momentum, then let the Euros go up against the Olympics, which has had its football element removed. Suspend P&S for a few years, due to extraordinary circumstances, and allow things to settle back to normality in a few seasons time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glyn1957 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I would be very surprised if the E F L do not have a ruling in one of their books about this under the extraordinary circumstances list , because this is one of them and I can remember the flu pandemic very clearly but this is much worse .

Yes they take a points average for the last seven seasons played and the top three teams will be promoted to the EPL then after they have agreed it they will investigate these teams and give them points deduction fined, so Leeds go u, Villa stay up and QPR are given +80 points and go up.

People joking about Leeds and Liverpool, but I honestly cant see how this season is going to be finished. Yes that was my train of thought. It's only going to be worse in 3 weeks and I heard the suggested peak in the UK for Covid-19 is a few months away. Or maybe the fixtures are concluded behind closed doors?

He is clearly a good manager but complaining about the tactics of other teams (or defending as I believe others call it) whenever he loses is laughable in my eyes. Congratulate the opposition and move on. Unless it’s Leeds. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eezzeetiger Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 They should just end the season now. Top 2 go up, top 4 are in the play-off places, and the team with the best average points record against the other play-off teams goes up.. Forest go up, everyone is happy Fulham 3 points Brentford 6 points Preston 1 points. 10 points from 4 games. 2.5points a game. See you next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World cup qualifiers don't start until next March, Nations League qualification between the end of this season and then. Which will have to be scrapped anyway, to make way for the delayed Euros.

Millenniumram Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Surprised that this has happened so quickly, given that sports weren’t banned yet yesterday by the government. I suspect now it’s happened though, that it’ll be a long time before we resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
