I expect the government will have a say when sport can start up again, whether behind closed doors or not, rather than the PL or FA. That is presuming players will play & not refuse to do so, as well as clubs like Man City refusing to play full stop until there is an all clear. It seems that the biggest peiority by some is not the safety of the UK populace but rather to make sure Liverpool can win the league, & the PL can ensure it gets its full compliment of its pieces of silver from SKY & BT.I don’t think the ‘country returning back to normal’ and football being able to be played behind closed doors, for instance, are to be judged by the same standard.
I suspect PL will try and go the closed doors route at some stage before we decide to scrap altogether.
It’s not as sinister as you imply. All industries are concerned with safeguarding their futures, and for football, playing football will keep the lights on. I think a lot more stakeholders than the PL would need their pieces of silver. I doubt clubs would be reticent to play football if they thought it could be done safely, when players and staff are having wages deferred and others are at risk of administration.I expect the government will have a say when sport can start up again, whether behind closed doors or not, rather than the PL or FA.

Gundogan reckons the title should be given to Liverpool and has no problem with it.I'm surprised people can't see the way this is going.
Clearly going to get ditched. The recent comments from UEFA, the FA cancellation of lower leagues and now players speaking out about not wanting games BCD and the season being cancelled. Liverpool fans need to mentally prepare for this as it's going to hit hard.
Fortunately he's a nobody.Gundogan reckons the title should be given to Liverpool and has no problem with it.
Each stadium has a ground safety certificate which has a load of conditions associated with it, things like stewards, number of police, medical staff, ambulances etc etc. If you can’t meet the requirements of the certificate then you can’t play a match. Odds on the local Police, NHS etc wanting to provide resources just so a game of football can go ahead?I expect the government will have a say when sport can start up again, whether behind closed doors or not, rather than the PL or FA.

Why does he want that? Pep won’t be happy.Gundogan reckons the title should be given to Liverpool and has no problem with it.
Yeah I found it strange as well.Why does he want that? Pep won’t be happy.
So the priority is to start a half season IF there is enough time instead of completing a 3/4 finished one. Fair play that’s definitely a triple salchow thought process.This season is gone.
I hope there's enough time to play 19 games per club next season. Well, we may have a way of "completing" a full season if the PL decides before the start of the season (November, December, January, whenever that is) that the 2021 season will be a single tie (lottery to decide home or away venue) event. It would be absolutely fair if the rules were laid down before the season began. That's one way of finishing the League next year assuming this virus doesn't miraculously disappear.
The problem is, one case and the whole thing is ruined. Martial's tested positive? Well now United can't play for 2 weeks.
As opposed to you?Fortunately he's a nobody.
I imagine the players will have something to say about that, lots of them wont be willing to take any risks IMO, this obsession with finishing this league off while the deatsh are piling up is mind boggling, I mean I can't see them starting European cup comps up again straight away so top 4 is irrelevant at this point, the only losers in this are Liverpool and clubs that would be promoted.
I imagine he means in regards to who will be making the calls regarding what happens, Liverpool aren't going to be just given the league no matter how badly some want it to happen for whatever reason.As opposed to you?
What a shit idea.
Yep. One position can't be decided in isolation. Why should we accept 5th when we could have finished 3rd? And if all can't agree, then void it is. Anyway, let's concentrate on saving lives amd getting over this crisis. The football can wait...however it's eventually resolved.I imagine he means in regards to who will be making the calls regarding what happens, Liverpool aren't going to be just given the league no matter how badly some want it to happen for whatever reason.
Oh that's ok then.Gundogan reckons the title should be given to Liverpool and has no problem with it.
Right down there with the crapper ideas mooted so far.
https://www.skysports.com/football/...premier-league-title-fair-says-ilkay-gundoganOh that's ok then.
Even if the whole City team beg the FA to award Liverpool the league, it misses the point again.
That it's not all about Liverpool.
What does Gundogan reckon about sorting all the other positions across tiers?
Let's be honest here, Kane is making these comments because he knows a void suits Spurs down to the ground, no more, no less.unfortunately for you, whilst spurs can be mildly annoying, they don’t have a documented history of being a self absorbed and inward looking fanbase like Liverpool.
Kane is saying out loud what any rational person is thinking - that is, we all want the league to finish, but ultimately there’s a cut off point, and logically that’s 30 June.
Yeah it's not just the players risking the virus. It seems like they want them to play a feck-load of games in a short period of time, risking injuries and their future earnings.I imagine the players will have something to say about that, lots of them wont be willing to take any risks IMO, this obsession with finishing this league off while the deatsh are piling up is mind boggling, I mean I can't see them starting European cup comps up again straight away so top 4 is irrelevant at this point, the only losers in this are Liverpool and clubs that would be promoted.
Yeah, putting club allegiances to one side, I don't think you say no to fitting in a part season to then have a part season.So the priority is to start a half season IF there is enough time instead of completing a 3/4 finished one. Fair play that’s definitely a triple salchow thought process.
Who are you again?As opposed to you?
If we reduce infections then if we just went back to normal in a few weeks time we would see infections climb again but I doubt that is how it will be handled. I fear we may see serious restriction for a long time partly dependent on how soon/if we develop a vaccine and/or a treatment. In the end a full return to normal requires 50-80% of people getting, or being immunised against, Covid-19 (the estimated minimum level for herd immunity). If not by vaccination this could take a long time if we aren't to overwhelm medial services worldwide.Don't think that's true - an infected person infects 3 other persons or so on average, but the aim of the lockdown is also to get that number below 1. That would make the virus go away eventually since the average carrier infects less than 1 person in that case. It would only be temporarily, but I think that's also the aim.
Oh my days!!!
this guy has spent too much time reading some of the wack ideas floating in this thread.
Amazing really. In fact, it's more a narrative of scrap it to finish the league. If 1 goes, all go.The social distancing measures will be extended way more. If we all have to stick to the two metre rule, then so should the players...so it’s not happening, quarantined in the midlands or not.
Strange the Vermin aren’t arsed in the slightest about any FA Cup or CL matches.
The Midlands? Birmingham is a coronavirus hotspot. Get tf out.
