Does this model supersede the Belgian model?
Belgium haven't confirmed what they are doing yet. Still needs to be ratified.
Oh I thought that was confirmed. So its one nil to the voiders in terms of models to follow.
Yeah. However, I would imagine it is just a formality for Belgium as they have announced that is the intention.
Testing testing and more testing. If the players and coaches are fit then they can resume behind closed doors surely.
Agreed, giving a league title on goal difference with so many games to go is ridiculous.
A match requires approx 200 people to go ahead even BCD, it’s not just about the players and officials.
Indeed, just as it is when nothing is mathematically settled.
Belgium is not mathematically settled and it's looking likely they will name their champion. Scotland may do too.
Makes sense looking at the Dutch league table, unless they settle it on FIFA or something.
So it begins.

That wont even be considered, everyone has played the same teams at some point. Sporting merit for 19/20 as reported, means current top 4 qualify. No ifs or buts.
That's more a hope than a legitimate plan.
which is why they will likely go on a points per game tally as reported in the Mail and Times. Which again would result in current top 4 qualifying. Unless they went off coefficients, which UEFA have ruled out, there is no other outcome than current top 4 qualifying.
Possible there will be no European football next season anyway. Shame for United who look much stronger than Chelsea and Leicester.
Proud of you guy!
Agree it's more than players and coaches, but where did you get 200 from? And why can't they all be tested?
Agree. Just needed someone to be the first and now there is a template I think others will follow suit but similar to in Netherlands the first step is going to be a firm "not happening" government directive to take the decision making out of the self-serving football authorities.
Unfortunately, we’re nowhere near a situation where we have a test that can definitely say that anyone is immune. If we did, that would have implications way more important than football.
But it's not null and void. They won't have relegation or a winner, but the CL and EL places will be decided by the current table.
What happened Dumbstar? With all those smilies I thought it must be trueJust so this is clear (to certain Utd posters mainly), three European countries have now said there will be no more football. That's it. Now pay attention certain Utd posters:
Belgium - announced league winner despite 9 more games to be played (ask any Belgian poster on here)
Holland - about to announce Ajax league winners despite leading the table...drum roll... on goal difference.In fact I counted at least any of the top 10 teams are still mathematically in with a chance of being league champions
Scotland - Celtic being announced winners despite Rangers well in it mathematically. Worse still for, legal nightmare folks here, Hearts are being relegated despite 6 other teams that could still take their place if the season was played out
England? - null and void it, innit
Well that’s weird. All the clubs just outside the CL slots will be studying the smallprint of their agreements with the Eridivisie very closely!
A decision which creates loads of inconsistencies.

Every option is more a hope than a legitimate plan. Even if you declare it null and void and then football can't continue until say December, you have the issue of starting a 38 game season with half the time available.
You weren't finishing above Leicester I don't think but Chelsea would've been interesting.
CL places, if UEFA insist on qualification being based upon 2019/20, will just be done as it stands if there is no way to finish. The average point system is pointless as it will just give the same outcome. Either way it is done I think Chelsea are safe and City will be given a reprieve.
I cannot see it being long before Leagues One and Two declare void. Most of their income comes for gates receipts and they aren't getting those even if things do restart. Once that happens the dominoes will start falling.
Exactly, this is what the Dippers are not getting, it is not because people are out to spite them, but because relegation is so much more serious.
Liverpool fans crying in the comments for a league they don't even follow, the delusion is truly amazing.
Holland did the right thing. Have you seen Belgium and Scotland are still there in the post?What happened Dumbstar? With all those smilies I thought it must be true
Not really. they have decided to freeze the table as PPG would not have altered any placings. they have also made the in-house decision that declaring a champion, promotion or relegation would not be fitting without the season playing out.
Leicester and Lazio would get CL spots if the same decision process as the Dutch league was adopted.
It was just an example. The idea is that there is not a fair option. If there is no promotion/relegation 3 teams from the Championship would suffer.
Absolutely, and these are all hypothetical solutions. No one knows what will happen at this stage, it's all speculation.
