Is extending players contract even legal just like that?
Sure, if the players give back the salaries they got for playing matches that didn't technically happen!Just randomely thought, if the season does get voided do fans get refunded for going to games that didn't technically happen?
You wouldn't think so would you? Itl be a minefield!Is extending players contract even legal just like that?
Not gonna happenLooking at all the plateauing of several Euro countries from this virus, I think we can restart behind closed doors in June/July. First wave will have died down by then.
There won't be any football crowds for a while though. Last thing you want is a 60,000 crowd kickstarting the second wave going into autumn/winter
Of course, I assume the players are up for restarting as well and won't sue the FA for making them play in potentially unsafe conditions.

This is what happens when you have Jose's "3rd season self-destruct" pill.I refuse to believe Levy is now not just at the point of the lockdown where he’s trolling for his own amusement.

Exactly what I thought. All nice and good to have hopes, but its meaningless if reality says different.Football will start up again? Just a matter of when?
You don't freaking say!

Shhh don't say that! You will get called all sorts of names if you have the opinion that football will not be null and void this season!Looking at all the plateauing of several Euro countries from this virus, I think we can restart behind closed doors in June/July.

In my money hungry, less enlightened days I used to admire his financial shrewdness but those days are long gone. Despicable guy.I refuse to believe Levy is now not just at the point of the lockdown where he’s trolling for his own amusement.

No, all this says is that its possible, contract law in each country would have precedence. What if a player decides he doesnt want to play for a club? What if a dozen players decide that from a club?Is extending players contract even legal just like that?
Stop building fecking strawmen, noone has said it can't or definitely won't. you know why? well noone has a clue. It is you that consistently points to irrelevant points, takes articles out of context and uses shit sources to support your point of view.Shhh don't say that! You will get called all sorts of names if you have the opinion that football will not be null and void this season!
Don't you know, all the experts here are swearing that this season cannot go on under any circumstances.
Congrats, I hope you have a happy life together.Great news coming out of Spain. La liga will start up again. Just a matter of when. Spain is a lot worse than UK and they have taken measures to start up again.

As in work for one of his other businesses or actually work at his house ?
If they know there is no way things go back to normal-ish for another 2 months, there is no way this season can end..This makes no sense at this stage, no way this will happen this early.
As much as I dislike that shower down the East Lancs Road, I will be disgusted if we vote to void the season. They were the best team in the division this season and they deserve the title.It will be one hell of a story if United are the 14th and final team to vote for voiding.
I reckon Ed would smell a good PR opportunity for him to gain favor back with many United fans.As much as I dislike that shower down the East Lancs Road, I will be disgusted if we vote to void the season. They were the best team in the division this season and they deserve the title.
Let voiding happen for the most obvious reason: it is simply not safe to conclude the season within a reasonable timeframe (say within the next 3-9 months) and not because of a fecking sporting rivalry. That’s goes for the money-mad whoppers who want football back ASAP, too. Let football return when it is absolutely safe to do so. There’s much more at stake here.
If it goes down to a vote, then there will be a much larger block than the bottom 8 who will vote for void as this will set a precedent and more than 8 teams go into a league season thinking that they can get relegated. In my opinion, the voting would split as follows;From a practical POV, this may go down to voting.
The bottom 8 teams (Newcastle, who are only 8 points above relegation zone, to Norwich who are bottom of the pile) will definitely vote to void the season, as they would not want to take any risk of the disaster that is relegation). Among other teams, Arsenal (City’s disqualification standing), Tottenham and Chelsea will benefit from voiding the season as they are granted automatic Champions League spots. That is 11 votes already. Everton would not mind it because they will gain an unexpected Europa League spot (City’s disqualification standing). That’s 12 teams who wouldn’t mind voiding the season one bit.
You only need two more teams out of 8 remaining to vote for voiding the season.
With deep pockets, City will probably not mind voiding the season either. It their ban is put on hold, they can restart the next season as defending champions. That gives them advertising benefits. That’s 13!
It will be one hell of a story if United are the 14th and final team to vote for voiding.
If there is no Champions League to be qualifying for next season it makes no sense for us to risk our players challenging for fourth.I reckon Ed would smell a good PR opportunity for him to gain favor back with many United fans.
I was referring to us casting the deciding vote to deny Liverpool.If there is no Champions League to be qualifying for next season it makes no sense for us to risk our players challenging for fourth.
So void the discussion now about voiding the season now because it's too extreme?Why must people talk extremes always. Season will finish May, season will be voided now. Can't we just put a pin in it until we actually have a clear answer by the bodies that be, as right now they too are just as clueless.
I realise that, I was suggesting the motivation might well be there if we have no benefit to finishing the season.I was referring to us casting the deciding vote to deny Liverpool.
I agree its a bit odd, especially given they only had a small number of games left too, theirs was really odd.What I don't understand about Belgium is, if they keep their borders closed, they are one of the first countries that could actually have finished their season BCD. Instead of freezing the league positions. Their curve is well and truly flattened.
I don't think we would do it because of Liverpool to be honest, we are more likely to go pragmaticI was referring to us casting the deciding vote to deny Liverpool.
Based on what?I don't think we would do it because of Liverpool to be honest, we are more likely to go pragmatic
Money, and lack of.Based on what?
I don't think we would vote against it to stop Liverpool, its not the kind of thing we would do. Yes we would vote to void it because we felt that it had other financial/fair play issues.Money, and lack of.
