Norwich, City, Manchester United and any other club in danger or relegation probably
I reckon by "certain clubs" he means 19 out of 20 clubs.Tweet

Someone rich and powerfulAre the PL waiting for a high profile death before they do anything?
The betting industry obviously donates money to a political party.Isn't it also a bit mad that they've let Cheltenham go ahead? There will have been hundreds or thousands of people there the last few days.
It was only an hour or so ago they were still planning to have the games go ahead in front of packed stadiums.They've already postponed the City Arsenal match.
This weekend's games would have been postponed anyway.
I forgot all about that. So PL void the season but to keep us cushy give us number 19 anyway. Everyone's happy. Well everyone except Manchester FC.Liverpool could end up with 2 titles - one from an incomplete season and one gifted to them in 2014 - what a strange year.
I hear ONE club in particular is really eager for this to happen!Norwich, City, Manchester United and any other club in danger or relegation probably
Sorry misread itWhere have you got that from?
I said the season 'resumes at some point', not that 'the earth's population is decimated'.
Void the league.But keep the cup tournaments going obviously. Let's not be too hasty here.
Players are out ill all the time with contagious conditions. There will be a breaking point if too many are out though.Mendy is in self isolation now, surely they can't expect teams to play whilst first team players are stuck at home.
They havnt even done that yet, only called a meeting to discuss itIt was only an hour or so ago they were still planning to have the games go ahead in front of packed stadiums.
The Arteta breaking news seems to be the only reason they've changed their mind.
Not that that’s what really matters here, but for the sake of discussion, contracts regarding these huge sums of money are likely insanely complex. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some sort of clause regarding United missing out on the CL due to extenuating circumstances, which this may count as. This is pure guesswork on my part.Not a wum, I asked before, what will the financial impact be for Utd for another CL-less season? Must be close to the bone now?
I checked the Utd forum, nothing there.
It's a race against time to even get football going next August.Having to have another season in the EL will not hurt at all if it means your wait for the title ticks over to 31 years though.
Not that anything to do with football really matters now.
What about Leicester with 3 out ?Players are out ill all the time with contagious conditions. There will be a breaking point if too many are out though.
Something to do with the PL being the richest and most lucrative league in the world. Greedy bastards.It's fecking mad isn't it.
Every other major football league in Europe has stopped, other major sports around the world have stopped, we have players self isolating, the Arsenal manager is confirmed to have the virus and they've only just agreed to have an "emergency" meeting to discuss it further.
What the hell are they thinking?
Yeah God knows when things stabilise. Could be weeks, months, years.It's a race against time to even get football going next August.
Nobody really knows when it will tail off.
It could take up to a year for all we know.
Plenty of teams have had 3 players out with illness before. You’d probably need to be actually unable to field a team with registered players. You have a squad for good reason.What about Leicester with 3 out ?
It'd be pretty fecking shit to miss out on Sancho because we couldn't offer CL football, especially when we're actually in good form and probably would've got it through either top 4 or through the EL.Having to have another season in the EL will not hurt at all if it means your wait for the title ticks over to 31 years though.

Where are you seeing this?The Leicester players have been tested and will get results tomorrow.
The 1st one , I’ve had a few months to deal with the fact they’re going to win the league which makes it a little easier.The season resumes at some point with Liverpool winning the PL and United winning the EL
or
The season is abandoned with Liverpool winning nothing and United failing to get into the CL because we finished 6th last season
?
Yeah it would, but Liverpool winning 27 out of 29 games, being 25 points clear and potentially a game or two away from clinching the title and then having the season voided meaning they don't become Champions. I mean come on, that would be incredible.It'd be pretty fecking shit to miss out on Sancho because we couldn't offer CL football, especially when we're actually in good form and probably would've got it through either top 4 or through the EL.
It was on BT Sport.Where are you seeing this?
All of the articles I see state they haven't met the criteria to be tested.
It matters quite a lot actually. From a medical perspective obviously we have the CE forum. But from a footballing perspective I agree there may be a lot to lose in contract clauses. Ironically, despite what the fans want, the Glazers and your spreadsheets guy will fight tooth and nail to have their 5th position frozen (for when City get banned obviously). Utd is still a very big financial voice in the PL when they shout.Not that that’s what really matters here, but for the sake of discussion, contracts regarding these huge sums of money are likely insanely complex.

Voiding is a complete bullshit response that would only be driven by those with an agenda like Norwich, Bournemouth, Man Utd, Everton etc. A perfect excuse for teams who've been shit for the past 7-8 months while punishing teams who've actually been quality like Liverpool and Sheffield United.
It's the only obvious solution.No chance. Too much cash at stake. It will be suspended until summer and euros postponed til next year
