They could probably play a one off game. It's rounds and rounds of games that's the issue
Because the poster seemed to be arguing that different competitions run by different organisations are some how inextricably intertwined and you can't finish one without the other. Which makes no sense, if Europe can't be finished how does that have any relevancy to the league season being finished. And if you're arguing that than surely you're arguing that City's cup run isn't valid because the tournaments it occurs around haven't been completed.
Just waiting for the autocorrect to be added so that * appears automatically after Liverpool
Could have maybe chosen some different words given Amiens was a very famous WW1 battle with loads of deaths. Tad dramatic.
The court should just tell them to feck off to be fair, there's no entertaining these bullshits at times like this
That tournament has finished in full. Why should that be taken away?
They mentioned points per game, it doesn't change the table much in CL and relegation. What i did notice is that Bournemouth Villa and Norwich going down but Watford and West Ham surviving on goal difference. That seems very harsh.
France have the same thing so will be interesting to see how they overcome this.
I agree there but the bottom line is they are going to keep those standings unless they play.

If they void competitions they have to void them all. Nobody will credit them with number 19 if there are rules changes or the season is drastically altered. I certainly won't. Its still 18 unless they win it properly for me.
Another touted solution is ppg per home and away fixtures to compensate for the fact that not all teams have the same number of home/away games remaining. On that metric West Ham go down...
Anything that would relegate WHU is good.
Is it harsh? I think it's fair, it is based on theirs and their competitor's performance. Wasn't ideal but hardly not fair.
"Be careful to set dangerous precedents!"
You really don't think Covid 19 is a force majeure?
Don't blame them.
I read somewhere that it is written into the league's rules about abandoning a season , thus they knew what the rules were so they can't really complain when those rules go against them.
Yes, their FA have the power to unilaterally end the season but you have to feel for them.
It doesn't matter what I think, it matters what's in the contract. Given the specific circumstances though, no, I don't think Covid-19 would meet the force majeure threshold. Merely rendering an obligation more difficult or expensive for one party certainly doesn't imply force majeure - would've been another story if the government had banned professional sports for an extended period of time though, but they didn't. It's still *possible* to let games take place.
Well it depends what "extended period of time" means, because we are now 7 weeks into a lockdown and no sport returning for another 3 weeks. So a ban of 10 weeks when the season is meant to finish by the latest end of June as per the PL.
"My stance"? I'm talking for a contract law POV and not from a football POV, which I've abundantly made clear by now that I don't care anymore that it gets resumed or not since the title has already lost all meaning and glamour. I'm talking facts - if the PL cancels the season and doesn't have the legal backing from a force majeure clause, they're gonna get sued and they're gonna lose.
Bolded part: it does not depend on what contract law classifies as "extended", it depends on the terms of the contract. If it's stated that a season should be finished by the end of June, every day without football will be a day that we get closer to a force majeure qualification.
So glad you didn't give me Wesley Crusher.
Corona isn't a force Majeure, not furlough payment no chute payment, no financial plan because it's not impossible to continue working, just more difficult.
I understand the first part and none of us know what the PL contracts look like, that will come out once the lawyers of teams start arguing the cases.
Not even gonna bother to actually respond to that. Like I said, you seem to have zero understanding about force majeure and contract law. That's fine, just don't come up with ridiculous examples.
Do enlighten me, cause you seems to understand better about contracts.
But that ppg is not fair either. One team played all top teams and have 0 points per game from that. Other team have most of those games to play meaning that they had easier schedule. Look at us and Chelsea. We have by far better schedule than them but we would lose 4th spot on ppg.
Of course it can. The definition might be the same but the effect or application depends on the circumstances.
Because you've been banging his mum?
I know different legal systems will have a different meaning. The Force majeure clause in this country refers to a suspension of 30-90 days, which we are getting close to. Yes, I get that it depends on the PL contract what specific points are written to be part of force majeure i.e act of god, act of govt, pandemic etc...
