How come some twitter geezer has picked up on these 'clear rules' but the likes of the BBC, Sky News and the mainstream newspapers haven't?
Pack in twitter, it's shite.
Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th

Everything in Denmark has just been shut down by the government with instant effect. Schools, daycare and any workers from the public sector who do not work with 'critical tasks'. In addition, every employer in any sector are highly recommended to send employees home.
And it is highly recommended that gatherings of more than 100 persons in any context are cancelled. Tomorrow the parliament will vote for it to be a injunction instead of just a recommendation. People af close to panicking. The news have only just come out, but people are already hoarding in the supermarkets.
Becasue of this, more or less the entire danish society will be shut down for a couple a weeks, and I think it is highly plausible that it will be furtherly extended.
The way this has evolved is very similar to how it did in Italy, and I expect a lot of other European countries to follow soon. Since monday the number of infected has multiplied by ten. If anything similar to this will reach Great Britain, the season will surely be cancelled to some extend.

Not read all the posts. But are Arsenal going to be able to play again in the next two weeks? Are they in quarantine? If yes, can the league really carry on with one team out of action?
Their game against Brighton is still due to go ahead.
But a decision about the PL as a whole might be taken before then anyway - in accordance with what the Government decides.

That's that then. This week will be the last football we'll be watching for a while

Holy shit this is huge.
Right thing to do. Games behind closed doors when a one-off made some sense. But exposing players for weeks? Time to postpone or cancel the matches.
Great post, just sorry I can’t like it.Cancelling the season has apparently been discussed between government and Premier League officials. So it's not a total impossibly.At this stage though, it seems unlikely and they may just play in empty stadiums.
It's hard to wish for things to get so bad that Liverpool can't win the title though. This thing will kill a lot of people if it gets that serious, especially older loved ones and young children are also a high risk. As much as I hate Liverpool, I don't hate them more than I love the people in my life.
Football comes nowhere near as important as the love most of us have for our families (there will always be 1 oddball somewhere)
If they cancel the premier, Liverpool gonna be crowned champions anyway?
Nope. Season be declared void.
Yeah, I have no idea how they''d sort out promotion/relegation without all games played. There would be lawsuits all over the place.
Wonder if there are any Premier League loophole rules?
As opposed to having infected UK people mixing with healthy UK people domestically, or having people of a variety of nationalities mixing all over the country on a daily basis? Why are we trying to enforce viral apartheid in regards to football?
Rhyme, you are aware of how much travel there is outside of football and how much the virus will just spread internally even in a fabled complete lockdown?
Surely we can't carry on in this country pretending everything is fine? If we do so many people will literally die, it's mad.
I was thinking about this today RS. What would they do? I mean as much as I'd love Liverpool not to win the league then it would mean United would have no CL again next season and potentially ruin our transfer plans etc?
It's a right mess. It's the knock on effect on all leagues that is the issue.
Will players keep personal stats? I wouldn’t want Greenwood to be deprived of 12 goals (or more), let’s say
Aye that's what really matters.
I would think so yeah. Don't see why they'd take that away.
Haven't read the whole thread. But technically if 1 player gets it in the prem then the whole thing gets called off right ?
Since that players team would be quarantined which means they can't field a team etcetc?

Well, it depends entirely on where the World is come August. Remember CL/Europa has qualifiers that starts in late July, it has a huge knock on effect right?
I honestly have no idea what they'd do. The fair solution is to cancel Europa/CL next season but no chance would they accept that ruling and miss out on the cash. Perhaps a one off European competition next season organised by the big clubs in Europe? Honestly no idea.
God is a United fan.
Liverpool wait another year la
Leeds get back in your championship box
Spurs just hold on to Jose for a little longer
Pep no CL for you for a couple of years sunshine
ole don’t worry about fecking up a bit this season I’ll cancel it for you so you are set for next time. Okely dokely, love from god

The problem you have if you quarantine a country at that stage is that the quarantine becomes no longer manageable at a point when it is actually truly needed at a point where cases really start to accelerate. It’s no good one country quarantining then just getting a new greater influx of cases and being unable to play that card again.
Definitely not. The same logic would relegate Norwich when they can still stay up.
Think it will be called off, which would be the right decision.
I would genuinely feel a bit sorry for Liverpool though if they miss out on the title while two wins away. Still hilarious, but they absolutely deserve that title and would be cruel.

Point out in my post where I said “it will eradicate coronavirus”. Liverpool’s position in the league is the least of my worries during a major crisis like this. It’s irrelevant where they are. Even if Man Utd were in Liverpool’s current position or if Liverpool were close to relegation, I’d still say the only viable thing to do is close the season, especially now it’s been been labelled a pandemic by the WHO.
People’s health and well being is more important than a game of football. It’s not even on a comparable scale.
Nah.
Anyone who would feel bad for Liverpool if they didn't win the league is frankly bizarre. I can't even begin to understand that.
Agent Rugani
Yeah but Liverpool is way ahead. City would need to win their last 10 remaining games, and Liverpool would have to make less than 6 points out of 27 points for them not to win it.
I hope it is how you say, but I wouldn't be so sure.
What says the rule book?
Wishful thinking the season will become null and void. Money talks, the Premier League would rather hold on until the government can ensure they have measures in place for compo.
Doesn’t matter. Points on the board are the only ones to count. It’s the FA not Paddy Power.
Get fecked here anyone who has any semblance of sympathy for those wankers down the East Lancs Road. These tossers got every single English club banned from European competition for five years due to their thuggery and even tonight, they selfishly played the match in a packed stadium as they wanted the advantage of a home crowd to cheer them on.
I’ll be sad to see the back of football for a while but spare us the sympathy for that shower from Liverpool.

Champions elect, moral victors. None of this matters. Liverpool haven’t won the league yet and now they might not get the chance to.
Harsh but hilarious.

feck them.
The various leagues (but the PL particularly, given the money involved) will be absolutely terrified to do anything that'll get them sued. Regardless of how it happens, they'll finish out the season at some point, IMO, because any other positive act they undertake will result in legal liability to any number of clubs.
The only downside is Sanchez will be back costing us a fortune.
What if the government enforces a cancellation through legislation?
