I'm pretty sure the season will be suspended.

End the season, and nullify it....


.... and have City compensate the EFL teams for being picks with FFP.

Definitely option A.

But I reckon I know what will happen. They’ll continue on until Liverpool win the league fairly then they’ll stop it. Everyone is desperate for them to win the trophy.

What ever happens, I think all domestic leagues would have to come an agreement, I don't think you could have the PL finishing the season behind closed doors while the Italian league is cancelled.

I think all European games should be canceled including the euros and maybe domestic cup games, all domestic leagues suspended for 3-4 weeks and games made up. Without European games, cups and the Euros, I think the games could be made up

Can we roll back to before we bought ndombele?
Oh and before Vertonghen shagged Eriksen's Mrs?

Force majeure clauses throughout the sport no doubt?
They're absolutely something to be considered, but whether they apply to the current situation - and if they do, whether it's sensible to invoke them - are complex questions, and depend on the way the clause is drafted and the particular circumstances.

How would the work out who is promoted from the Championship though if they have extra teams in the Premier League? Bit harsh on the play off placed teams and there is no way they promote 6 teams.

I honestly think if it comes to it, they'll either just null and void the whole season. Liverpool will raise a couple of petitions and get some t-shirts printed up with a picture of an Asian fella on.

End the season soon.....same with Championship, no relegation no promotion.
When it's safe to come out again start the new season as it was at the beginning of this season.
Same with CL and Europa.
FA cup could be finished later in the year or cancelled.
Nothing is going to be seen as 'fair'.

The year that Liverpool won the league but no one gave a fuck cause we have an pandemic going on. I think It’s just bonkers that the FA are continuing playing games with supporters present in the stands☹️

That's not really fair to teams within a point or so of top 4 and to teams that are definitely being promoted to reward teams on this season but them. Things should just back to end of last season.

Lol Is that your true opinion or is there a touch of spurs bias in that we'd be in the CL again :)

Wouldn't be fair to Leicester who would be likely to qualify.
Without spurs glasses on I really have no idea what they could do except hit the pause button. If the 19/20 season restarts in September then so be it, the new season is just gonna have to be played in half the time after xmas, no cups maybe, more games per week who knows .

Honestly seems like a good opportunity to rearrange the football calendar to line up with the upcoming winter World Cup tbh.

What is force manure?
