As long as the asterisk is on the wikipedia page and not the trophy.
Give me a left-field way of how you would finish the season
- Thread starter Annihilate Now!
- Start date
Every team nominates their worst penalty taker and whoever skys it the furthest over their mansion wall...
When/If it restarts then all games played also double up for results for corresponding fixtures next season. So as and when new season starts those games and points from the final games this season are counted as played going into next season. Final relegated teams points would obviously not be counted. Obvious snags -
1. Promoted teams have the the problem to play more games.
2. Teams with tougher or easier run-ins might be disadvantaged
3. Scrap the League Cup for a season.

Make every remaining fixture a 0-0 draw.
How about all remaining games this season are voided and next season carries on with current points. So it is kind of a double season (minus remaining games).
gets around the issue that teams currently in promotion/relegation places are not rewarded/penalized (by ending league as is).
Cancel next years league cup.
Champions League and Europa League continues when possible and is awarded in 2021.
I think this can apply to all leagues (it is not all about Premiership), and seems something that can easily be implemented.

Teams are assigned league positions, based on their form over the last 10 games.
Reverse alphabetical order. Bad luck for arsenal villa and Bournemouth.
Each team sends over their best player to Pogba’s footy room and has a one-v-one match, first to 5 wins.
First up for us in May, Zaha v Pogba.
Corona tests mandatory to being allowed in.

5-a-side, winner stays on, 24 hours of football per league.
Team with the most game-time after 24 hours wins their respective league.
(obviously all broadcast live on free-to-air, hosted by Craig Charles in an OTT fake industrial warehouse with great big klaxons, flashing lights, countdowns and a commentary team of Richard Ayoade and Jonathan Pearce)

Finish the season behind closed doors - 3 matches a week - national league games only - all televised. Its the inky safe solution that can happy any time soon unless enough get it for herd immunity or there's a vaccine.
Then worry about CL/UEFA after that - it can be done in the "off season" later on.

Cancel the season now, UEFA “invites” 4 teams to the Champions League... Europa League etc.
The 4 teams in the Playoffs play 45 minute games back to back at Wembley.
1 week later, the winner from that enters an 8 team sudden death golden goal knockout alongside the teams in the 2 automatic promotion places, and the 5 teams at the bottom of the Premier League. The draw will be seeded based on league finishing positions. Lose your first game (conceding the first goal) & you’re relegated (or at least you don’t get promoted)... win the next round & you’re promoted. The 3rd & 4th place playoff is 45 minutes (with penalties if necessary)... winner plays Premier League, loser plays in the Championship.

It's got to be seeded playoffs. Quick and exciting for a one off season.
Assuming we are all allowed about by about June, hold 5 a side mega tournament held over a weekend at Wembley or something. all the remaining games played 15mins aside rollings subs.
The PL should play out all of its remaining fixtures by each teams u18 sides.

For the remaining fixtures left, pick the last 5 league games between those 2 teams. Put 5 numbered balls in to a bag and get the club captain of the home fixture to pick it out, then show a replay of the game on Sky or BT.
Celebrity fans/ stakeholders battle it out in a wwf style finish... Delia Smith, Nigel Kennedy, Katy Perry Elton John...

How about this...
To get a finalised table, matches that haven't been completed this season and are being played next season are counted for both.
So for example, Liverpools remaining fixtures are:
Aresenal away,
Brighton away
Everton away,
Palace home
Chelsea home
etc
play those games in the early part of next season, and count the result for both tables (this season and next season)
It doesn't help relegation and promotion, nor does it help European places. And not all matches will get finished because of any relegated (or promoted) teams, but I think it's a good option to produce a finished table.
