So sad. It's one thing Lionel Messi golden era coming to end, but this! Not this!!
Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th
- Thread starter Tarrou
- Start date
Almost certain even more teams and players effected in two weeks than now. So I doubt they'll be able to continue the season within any kind of reasonable time frame.
What was ridiculous about this was last night, PL posts on twitter games going ahead, 10 minutes later Arsenal post about Arteta
. Shambles. Suspending the right thing to do, would have been insanely irresponsible to have people travelling all over for football this weekend.

It thrives in that environment!
This would be sensible course of action, postpone for 3 weeks until everyone involved in the clubs is clear and/or recovered, then play in empty stadiums.
Trouble is, United Report often make stuff up, or slightly bend the truth around.
Tottenham are the luckiest bastards alive
Going by the peak estimations etc. They can have the football kick off again 1-2 months after the peak.
How so?
Apparently it can, thrives in cold desolate places..
And how do you get back on track after the 2022 WC? Just Keep starting the new Season in January?
If the number of infections now is worthy of suspending the season (I'm not saying it isn't) there won't be a 2020-21 season either. I think there is a lot of delusion that this is all going to be over by July/August.
They'll have a bunch of players back fit by the time this fixture gets played now
If it goes on who finished in Top 4 last season, then crap Spurs will be in next seasons CL. Arsenal could be as well if City still banned.
Assuming none of them get infected.

Follow your post through and work out how many people will be dead if 60 percent of the uk catch it in a short period of time there mate, thanks.
BT and Sky better give everyone a refund as there's no sport to watch.
They'll be over any virus by the time this fixture gets played, as well as broken arms and hamstring injuries
The main issue is the knock-on effect.
What happens when half the team get it this week, half the team get it the week after, and the other half get it two weeks after that. I can't see the league resuming after just two weeks, unless all players and staff have been Corona'd.
I'll have another half for the road.

Because they’ll have players back fit by the time this fixture is eventually played.
Not a fecking chance, they'll put out a 'coronavirus package' in the next week. £15 a month for re-runs of every Premier League game since it's inception
Don't think so, perfect time to build a new stadium: when no one can go to watch football, possibly for months and months. No income from stadium = financial dire straights incoming, since they still have to pay for it.
Seems very improbably season going to finish, so injuries etc won't matter.
Feck knows that's a lesser problem to solve later. At worst have a post season gap that makes it sync back into the normal start time over the following couple seasons.
No one is saying its going to completely go. But if its projected by scientists to peak in 10-14 weeks then they can restart the season 2 months after the peak and Euros a couple months after that.
The league can continue at end of August and they can have the euros start in October with a bit of a break (maybe 1-2 weeks) before Qatar? Assuming euros is 1 month long here.
What about season ticket holders? To be fair, I'm not arsed about the money.
Since Jose was sacked he will have coached a team for two CL campaigns while his replacement, Ole, just a half.
Also they cannot be champions of a non finished season (i.e. if they call the season off) Even if Pool mathematically win, if they cancel the campaign due to lack iof time to complete all remaining fixtures, will they still receive the trophy? there are many other things to play for
And we could have a fully fit squad including Pogba and Rashford, horses for courses.
That's fair enough, it wouldn't just be us missing out though.
See my first comment, it works in favour regarding player fitness for all, including players who were originally ruled out for the season, they might not be now.
Sounds encouraging! The league has to be abandoned this season!
Because we would have smashed them on Sunday if played. This way they get Kane and Son back, and we are in 11 games unbeaten run, doing very well, crap, what a horrible timing. Oh well..
After Coronavirus, the word voided must be the second highest word trending out there by now 
Can anyone, please explain if the season gets written off does that mean that let’s say Haaland’s CL goals are also written off and that he starts with 0 CL goals or that Greenwood’s 12 goals don’t stand?
Do the players games, goals and assists also get written off?
Do the players games, goals and assists also get written off?
No one knows for certain at the moment, its all just speculation.
Suspend the league for a bit and work out what to do in the interim. It takes time to plan changes this big, so let's hope the all the major footballing bodies give themselves that time.
Let me predict a timeline.
Suspend all football internationally until June 2020, at which point the seasons of various countries will be given until December 31, 2020 to resolve their remaining fixtures. The Euros can then be held in January 2021, with the following season running from February to November 2021. Another season can then run from February 2022 to November 2022, in time for the World Cup they've forced us to hold in December 2022.

Title should be updated @mods
No one knows for sure, can't see why goals etc would be voided though. The games still happened.
There just won't be any winner for this season.
The league is done. April 4th has been pulled from an arse. It's going to get worse not better.
Ahh Football, that famous game of three halves.

EFL is from the Championship down right? That announcement doesn't apply to the PL right?
