TramRam Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 10 minutes ago, David said: The government’s decision to extend a ban on public events until September 1 in an effort to prevent a new wave of COVID-19 cases brought a premature close to the league campaign, which was suspended last month due to the pandemic. Didn't EUFA say there could be exceptional cases for some leagues, The EFL and EPL will be looking closely at this if they haven't already.

California Ram. Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 No promotion/no relegation precedent set in Netherlands and Belgium and in the non leagues in the UK. My heart bleeds for Leeds fans (not really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This has been coming ever since their government banned major sporting events until September. Interesting they’ve declared it null and void though, after other leagues have suggested finishing with the current standings. Personally I think the Null and Void approach is the most fair, but there’s gotta be some consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagtime Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 In reality, it’s a easy decision to make. This seasons games have not been played in full so there can’t be a winner or loser end of story. If you want a “winner” of the season, let the two top teams play a Grand Final and give the trophy to the winner. Really the only reason comps are still trying to hang on, is the money they will lose from broadcasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In England the teams in the Championship who should be coming up, or Leicester who want their place in the Champions League. Also it loses some of the prestige if suddenly we can just claim the season we just spent 6 months listening to how pivotal / amazing etc is...can then just be ditched.

Know what you are saying but the reality of the situation is this virus isn’t going to clean itself up quickly and I believe soon the EPL have to start looking to re-set for next season. How will the Champions League go with some League’s calling the season null and void and others hanging onto a slim hope they can play at some stage. I’ve got no idea, it just seems it could end up a real mess. There will be winners and losers from the situation which ever way you go, I can imagine what Villa would think if they went down with a game still in hand. To me the cleanest way seems to be what the Dutch have decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 My local non-league team were 7 points clear at the top. One team gets promoted automatically and it looked odds on they would. Gutted does not come close. Better safe though than...well we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Im all for anything, anything at all, that stops Leeds from being promoted. Only thing that makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Only fair way is to void it. Points per game isn't fair. If your in a relegation fight it depends who you've played twice. Or home & away up to now. You might be in the bottom three but have an 'easy' run in. It isn't easy to get back out of the championship & the money the relegated clubs would lose. Leeds arnt guaranteed to go up, they are bottlers & Fulham have Leeds & WBA still to play. Its not impossible to be caught. In league one Oxford are two points off Rotherham. Oxford have won the last 5 could easily have caught them. Not every solution that has been put forward suits every club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 leeds need to have the fans in, so they can put off the opposition with their twirly scarves. Without that, they wouldn't go up anyway. ...Oh, wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
