Talk that Liverpool will be given title and Weat Brom and Leeds promoted to make it a 22 team league, next season 4 relegated and 2 promoted to get back to 20 teams.
Fuck knows what will happen with European qualification

Got to delay it and continue in a few months surely? Can’t have 29 games meaning diddly squat. Doesn’t sit right.
Talk where? Some **** on Twitter?
I’d suggest that it’s unlikely to last as long here because 1) so much more is known about it means both proactive and reactive measures will likely be far more effective, and 2) there’s overall a better standard of healthcare available per person.Looking at this situation overall..... first cases of C-19 in China were in November. Yesterday was the first day with no new cases, say another couple of weeks to be sure things have settled down.....that’s four months!!
first cases in UK were in March (ish) + four months = mid July. A couple of weeks prep so resume August? Play 10 games (mid Sept), players entitled to six weeks off and pre season starts November 2020.
Season 2020/2021 starts December?
This seems not unreasonable? Surely this season will be written off?
You are largely correct but some unknowns. Firstly, first case in UK was early February (10th or 12th or something).

What happens to the championship though, no relegation? Because if clubs got sent down after 37 games the way WBA and Leeds will go up, that opens up all kinds of problemsBrighton chief exec Paul Barber
"I think it's a possible option to leave the 20 teams in the league as it is but bring the top two in the Championship up.
"It gives us a larger league, with four relegation places next season and then two teams coming up again. It has some merit but there are a lot of issues to be worked through."
There's a reason the league was cut down to 20 teams. Not a reason that would affect Brighton though, so why would they care.Brighton chief exec Paul Barber

I still imagine you’re right that the most likely/ realistic outcome is to cancel this season by the way.

this is not totally relevant though. China controlled it by totalitarian measures of forced isolation. Health care can only help with recovery not spread. It’s personal hygiene that’s more important as well as not getting overly close to others. I think the ideas on transmission has changed since it started in China.
