People health is more important than sport, at the moment I don’t really care about when/if football restarts this season or next. People are dying around the world due to this virus, so why are people so bothered about bloody football..
They wouldn't have a leg to stand on as none of them have actually won their position yet. The PL could easily argue that the season was incomplete and only fair for every one to award no positions. Whereas if you relegate teams on the basis they were bottom after 28 games, even though the competition states 38 games have got to be completed you're opening yourself up to be sued.And if you null and void, you'll have legal proceedings from Leeds, West Brom, Leicester, Wolves and Sheffield United at a minimum. I don't think there's any option that avoids that sadly. There's no solution where nobody loses out.
All of ye saying just to write off the season - you would be going apoplectic if others were suggesting the same and we were on our way to our first title in decades!
We are 8th and would be 9th on points per game. A (safe) re-start is good for us, especially with Harry & Son back.
People are always dying - let’s not reduce this to virtue signaling (“I care more about people’s lives than football, don’t you?”) This time there’s a virus serious enough that everyone agrees we can’t have crowds. But if the medical authorities deem it safe enough for 22 young athletes, tested and with face-masks, to play some games, then I’m bemused as to the second guessing on here from people without those public health qualifications.
Well you haven't changed, your're still a selfish *****!Well good luck to those that enjoy it. I won't be watching.
mate just go with it, no one wants Liverpool to win the league.
On the subject of Liverpool and the league, I think however they win it from this point if they even do, it's somewhat tarnished a bit. They'll be winning something that everyone knows they've practically already won, in front of no fans and in a climate where winning something in a sport feels quite insignificant (or even more so) in comparison with what else is currently going on in the world.
If football resumes, even behind closed doors, I would fear that Liverpool fans would not be able to stop themselves meeting up to watch them win the title and then congregate at Anfield afterwards when judgement is affected by alcohol, emotion and herd mentality.
Just ban European football for next year and the decision to finish the season becomes a lot easier.
It wont make a jot of difference, teams can travel on private busses and planes so whether a game is in Glasgow or Lisbon it wont make much difference and it's the same issues we have with the Premier League. There are contracts, obligations and a lot of money riding on there being Europa and Champions League football every season. They will find a way to make it happen.
There will be just as many lawsuits and objections as all the other leagues if they ditch it, except it'll be spread through umpteen different countries and legal languages.
There is still movement between countries right now so it's not as if the borders are closed, things will open up at some point with lots of restrictions so if people can move freely anyway then the travel can happen and the games will happen behind closed doors.

I'll assume that you will assume that you will get your seat. What about all the others that haven't missed a game and want to keep the ball rolling, so to speak?
So just to be clear here, your priority isn't even really supporting the club, if you could only do so from home...your only priority is this record of yours?Well good luck to those that enjoy it. I won't be watching.
Steve Parish has made some interesting points.
