Liverpool’s lead tends to skew people’s thinking, but it’s completely irrelevant how far they are ahead. For Liverpool, winning the league is clearly a big thing - you can’t crown them champions, because that therefore means you have to make assumptions about who qualifies for the CL, Europa League and who gets relegated and promoted throughout every league.
it’s fantasy to think the league will finish. Players contracts run out on Jun 30th, so what do you do with players who are out of contract. Do Utd play without Ighalo and Matic, who does Smalling and Sánchez play for? Multiply that for every team in Europe, and it’s a mammoth problem.
to finish the league, it needs to be done by 30 June.
