Saturday Night Spies
Knowing Liverpool's recent luck, the season will start again next March and we will carry on like nothing happened.
Absolute worst case scenario, is that we have no football at all until about September, and then they decide to play out the last 2.5months of this season then.Knowing Liverpool's recent luck, the season will start again next March and we will carry on like nothing happened.
Agreed, the only reason it is such an issue is because they have such a sizeable lead. If they were even 10 points clear, this discussion would have gone easier.The only saving grace to any decision, is that no one has actually achieved anything yet league wise.
If Liverpool had already got the last couple of wins, then we'd have a really awkward situation.
Of them technically having won it, but the league maybe not finishing.
I think that would have been very difficult to not award them the win, even if it was voided for everyone else. Leading to a quiz question in 50 years! What year were only champions crowned, but no other positions!
As they haven't, that takes a fair bit of heat off.
Despite the scouse mafia, (and I genuinely think their oldboy and media supporting network means that term is acceptable) starting to ramp up the pressure now with their constant opinions on it, the FA won't be forced into anything due to one club.Agreed, the only reason it is such an issue is because they have such a sizeable lead.

The thing is that any decision made will be greeted with negativity.
I was actually feeling quite positive for the first time in ages until I read this.Absolute worst case scenario, is that we have no football at all until about September, and then they decide to play out the last 2.5months of this season then.
But then having done that, decide the next season will be a mini one, no cups, meaning essentially top 4 and europa hunts were a waste of time, and a 19 game league season.
Meaning Liverpool are in prime position to win another one on the cheap, equalling the 20.
That's an interesting point, and I think you're right, they would have had to award them the title.The only saving grace to any decision, is that no one has actually achieved anything yet league wise.

I strongly oppose this suggestion. All of it.Despite the scouse mafia, (and I genuinely think their oldboy and media supporting network means that term is acceptable) starting to ramp up the pressure now with their constant opinions on it, the FA won't be forced into anything due to one club.
I'm pretty sure they'll be sh!T worried about how they have tonnes of clubs that'd be straight at them demanding money and compensation, with legal cases all over the shop.
Unless it's culled, then no one can claim to be treated any differently than anyone else.
Hopefully this is correct and we’ll stop hearing the endless bleating of their selfish, self pitying fans, players and media influences, which is particularly sick considering the other things going on at the moment.Tweet

Not really. It just suggests they won't be gifted it, not that the season won't be completed. Which to be fair, nobody has a real problem with as long as it doesn't put people at risk and mess up ongoing seasons as a result.Hopefully this is correct and we’ll stop hearing the endless bleating of their selfish, self pitying fans, players and media influences, which is particularly sick considering the other things going on at the moment.
Draw a line and move on
How if players / squads are effected by covid? Can't possibly play unless all teams, staff, managers all covid free or recovered, surely?I mean, it was pretty obvious and logical. But they will probably find a way to finish it.
Why wouldn't they test all those involved before holding matches behind closed doors given what we know now? This seems obvious. The reason why we are supposed to avoid contact with other people is because of the lack of testing for the general populace means we don't know who is a carrier.Whether you have the virus or not is irrelevant seeing as you can contract it at any time or place without your knowledge. The general rule of thumb is to avoid contact with other people as much as humanly possible, engaging in a game of football with 21 other participants - not including the manager, staff, and subs - directly challenges that rule whether behind closed doors or otherwise.
It's looking less and less likely it will be finishedTweet

Not a chanceKnowing Liverpool's recent luck, the season will start again next March and we will carry on like nothing happened.
You are way too focused on Liverpool when they are really the least of the FA and UEFAs concerns. The main issue is the potential of bankrupting clubs with missed matches, existing sponsorship agreements and the legal ramifications of European places/promotion/relegation. There are far greater issues at stake.Absolute worst case scenario, is that we have no football at all until about September, and then they decide to play out the last 2.5months of this season then.

This is really the crux of the argument. If nobody is being put at risk, why would the season not finish? Coronavirus is delaying everything. Players out of contract on June 30 are unlikely to be signed with everything in flux. The transfer windows are also unlikely to open at their normally allotted times. It's just weird seeing people begging that the season be canceled when it benefits everyone to reach a conclusion to a season 75% complete. I just don't get the logic.Not really. It just suggests they won't be gifted it, not that the season won't be completed.

I know, it was meant as a joke reallyNot a chance
you can literally see a trailer where this happens. it isn't a spoiler as it has no effect on the story."spoiler that shit"
You were literally shown the way in the post you replied too.
Yep.I was actually feeling quite positive for the first time in ages until I read this.
Seriously though, could not give a shit about football at all right now, more worried about not going bankrupt. A load of millionaires not being able to play sport can wait.
The last part is totally correct. Either everything gets played out by June or it gets voided. That is the most clean cut and fair way to go about things with the least amount of issues down the line. All suggestions of 19 game seasons, culling the cups next season and enforced contract extensions is just wishful thinking. The only options are play out by the Summer or void, everything else is moot as it is not going to happen.It really does feel the Dippers are getting robbed because they were supposed to win the League with 20 points to spare. But there are other teams that will miss out on promotion and nobody in the media is mentioning them. So either everything continues on a later date or everything is cancelled. No middle ground
The suggestion that culling it is the only way to avoid a legal sh!Tstorm?I strongly oppose this suggestion. All of it.
I think we're now all rotating between the same points...You are way too focused on Liverpool when they are really the least of the FA and UEFAs concerns. The main issue is the potential of bankrupting clubs with missed matches, existing sponsorship agreements and the legal ramifications of European places/promotion/relegation. There are far greater issues at stake.
It would already be delayed if we're back up and running by April.- Delay the start of next season;
- Scrap Carabao and FA Cup for next season:
- Finish the current season if possible.

It's not just about exams, it's about preparation for exams. even if kids are back in 6 weeks, they need pre time. That said, the communication was more about not disadvantaging students and they will get grades.They cancelled school exams in May & June. They're expecting this to last a good while yet.
People expecting the season to just magically restart are clutching at straws. It's over.
Why?- Delay the start of next season;
- Scrap Carabao and FA Cup for next season:
- Finish the current season if possible.

I understand Liverpool fans saying this as they seem to only care about being given the PL League.You play to the rules that are stipulated by the body running the thing. If Wolves or Man Utd have a fantastic start, going on to win the league in 20 games then everyone else had the same equal chance. It's still a 'proper' season just under extenuating circumstances.
What is key though is that you have not wasted any season, i.e. 2019/20 was honoured to completion followed by 2020/2021 - to completion. Clubs make their money and survive.
I think if that opportunity presented itself they'd jump all over it.Do you think they will try to push getting the season over and done with asap by trying to see if they play games without a crowd the minute they feel they can get away with it or wait until it's ok to have fans back in a stadium together?
