seems very strange that tickets are on sale considering that if the season does resume, it would be behind closed doors
Well for starters, the pandemic has already started because it was declared as such by the WHO only a few days ago.
And I wish the hospitals had planned for it.
What you stated sounds like your own opinion, yet you seem to imply that they are facts. I'd like to see some sources, and not just 'experts' predicting the majority of the population getting infected in a worst case scenario.
Then let me rephrase: Started for real.
We're totally derailed by bad weather, whereas other countries don't blink an eyelid.
So this has definitely set people into panic mode.
I'm not entirely sure why people sneer at the stock pilers. Toilet paper yes, that's silly.
But food?
If it does get to a position where there's huge lockdown and you can't get it, you're screwed!
Depends what you mean by a plan. It's the same with companies too.
Companies are all very quickly having to work out measures now. They can't possibly have had plans in place for this sort of scenario.
They'll probably take any money they can now, even if they do have to give it back eventually.
+581 new cases of Covid-19 and +22 new deaths in twelve hours today in Madrid alone. (+2086 new cases and +47 new deaths today in Spain in total.) Those self-important, selfish Scouse wankers didn’t want to play behind closed doors the other night and had thousands of people from the epicentre of Spain’s outbreak roaming around the UK for up to three days before and after the game.
They should be made pariahs over this disgraceful decision. It is wholly unacceptable and if there is a massive uptick in cases in the northwest over this, those Liverpool wankers must be held to account.

Well it seems they don’t, currently, anyway. Crazy thing to think of though isn’t it? Suddenly being forced to decide , with no precedent, what to do if we can’t restart the league within a reasonable timeframe.
Actually, when would it be too late to continue this years league?
They'll somehow turn it round to make out their the victims.
The best case scenario was that we were able to contain the spread of the virus, meaning tracking back the source to each individual carrying the virus. We are already passed that. The worst case scenario is that half a million people in UK will die - if nothing is done to slow down the spread of the virus.

The most likely scenario, e.g. stated by the Norwegian health authorities, is that it will peak in the period May-August.
The people who keep saying there's no chance of it being voided seem to overlook the point behind your question. It's the massive 64million dollar question!
It can't go on indefinitely, there has to be a cut off where we have to get next season sorted.
What if this rumbled on for 3months? We can't be trying to complete this season in July and August, unless we totally scrap the closed season and preseason stages.
Unless we condense next year. But then you're trying to rescue one season by compromising another. Doesn't seem that clever to me.
Blaming Liverpool on any level is completely absurd. Flights are still going in and out of Spain on a daily basis. For those Madrid fans to get to Anfield they’d have to have gone through their passport control and then ours. Surely you be ranting at them ?
It is called gallows humour and has long been recognised as having therapeutic value, particularly when used in dealing with traumatic situations.
It seemed strange other euro ties were played to empty stadiums. Who makes the call to go ahead with a full Anfield?
Do we think it’ll get to a point where Sky shows live Football Manager simulations to finish off the league?
More than happy to take part if so.

WELL
It's just speculation. I've just watched the BBC news and they were saying the season is likely to be abandoned. No knows but what is obvious is no one is going to agree that Liverpool can have the title for free whilst everyone else misses out on CL spots etc
Can we be given the FA Cup as well then? We're a few wins away from that. How about handing us the FA Vase for a laugh, too.
Bollocks can they be handed the title. Bullshit paper talk.

Is what it is. Absolute most they can do is play their next game behind closed doors.
There's going to be disruption either way. Just scrap the league cup next season if fixture congestion is an issue.
The NBA which ends in June is discussing ending in August, however their offseason goes as far as october so it's no big deal. If it goes on till august it obviously becomes easier for the PL to just start a new season. If not the number one reason to continue the current season is MONEY. Many clubs will be posting a loss this upcoming year because of lost gate receipts. Even we have debts to pay. Paying Pogba and Sanchez's salary is a bitch but at least we are blessed with other sources of income. If clubs are ready to cancel the season then they are richer than I thought. Those massive TV deals paying off
Would be one of footballs biggest pisstakes if that happened. ‘Little opposition to it’? Are they having a laugh? It simply can’t be awarded to them when they haven’t won it.
Surprised to see FOUR journalists putting their name to this single story. Don't think I've seen that before. In a credible newspaper too.
Yeah and Atletico can have the CL unopposed by PSG, City, etc, too because they just beat the holders. Duhh!
Can't see Leicester opposing it, because, well, they can't actually fecking win it!!
Don't care about Liverpool , they had won the league months ago. What about CL places?
The only way I can see things working, is if the league declare the next month the equivalent of the closed season. ( to mid april)
Then call the month after "pre-season". (to mid may)
Then hope they can crack on then, play mid may to july as the end of this season , and then just play straight through into next season without any extra break.
Otherwise, the big problem is that if there's a big delay now, then you still have to have the end of season, and pre-season eating further into the future.
The big flaw is what if this isn't any better or is worse come 2 months time?
But then you're no worse off from what they're trying to do now.
Nah it’s 38 games. That’s the rules. The scousers can whine and wail all they want but if the league gets cancelled then that’s it. No trophy. Still 18 for them
Give it to them.
I don't care how many points they are ahead, it will always be a tainted, asterisk-marked title.

Do Liverpool fans really want their first title in 30 years to be given to them out of pity? They’ll be right up there again next year most likely, wouldn’t it be more satisfying to you know actually win it properly?
I think a lot of people are trying to do these things this weekend while they can because by next weekend I'm fairly certain most of it will close down.
We'll get back you after we've given it a long hard thought.
Give them 80% of a title.
What's wrong with the United fans in this thread suggesting we simply "give them the title cos fairness, la"
Nah.
You all need to be sent to @golden_blunder house for "reconditioning".

They haven't won the League.
The idea they should just be given the title because some people feel sorry for them is bollocks.
It's unlucky for them but that's just how it is sometimes.

I can't see them giving it to them, it would set a strange precedent and open up a can of worms with what to do with the rest of the league standings
when i started this thread i thought there was a 1 in 1000 chance Liverpool wouldn't get a title because of this
now it's honestly looking like the most likely outcome, which is insane
