They’re still kicking the can down the road because they want to keep up appearances.
European football isn’t happening next season, especially considering qualifiers begin in about 6 weeks.
The only real ramifications revolve around money, which to an extent I understand - but surely there’s a way to resolve that?
If TV money has already been paid & clubs can’t return it, give them the chance to sell assets over the summer transfer window to make up any deficits. If they still fail to do so, deduct a % from their payout for next season.
BT & Sky aren’t going bankrupt in the next 6 months, I’m sure they can take on that risk.
Next season is likely to be curtailed at some point - so if they get rid of the 3pm rule, and negotiate a temporary deal that allows sky & BT to have rights for more games (all games?) next season. Possibly paid out on a per-game basis, or negotiated to be paid based on amount of games played every half season.
These are extreme ideas that haven’t been thought out of course - but ultimately the penny needs to drop when it comes to this disease.
Things aren’t just going to return to ‘normal’ - there will be a difference in life pre-corona and post-corona. Sports isn’t exempt - long term changes will be made to alter how accustomed we’ve been to life up to now.
I think cup competitions are the most likely to remain in the short term - one off games that can be spread 2/3 weeks apart is actually the best format to maintain some sporting schedule.
