Plus the league didn't finish until the end of July last year, so I don't understand why you believe it has to end in May.

Euro 2020(1) is the reason it needs to end in May. I'm guessing that will be without fans though so it's pretty pointless.

Not in the slightest, it will be even easier to cancel this year than last, given the lack of preparation in place.

It will be cancelled again like last season if we get to that stage, clubs can't afford to be losing TV money, that's the bottom line.
It's even worse financially in other European leagues, specifically Spain.

It's a shitshow whatever happens. Fifa/Uefa and the national FA's having to return a load of ticket money that has probably already been spent on yachts and private jets for their executives or the TV companies asking the clubs for money back. It's not going to end well. I'd love the season to be voided though because we're shit at football.
 
The Premier League has to get to rund 25 of games to avoid a null and void season. This might be on their minds.
If things continued that takes us to Fulham away on 20th Feb, or if there is a break after say another 2 or 3 games then they'll have to fit in another 5 or 6 before the end of the season.
If the Premier League does get postponed in a couple of weeks though I struggle to see how and when it starts again in time for the Euros and it would only continue to get to the 25 game mark I think. Fitting in another 21 games if they had a break for several weeks seems impossible.
As it is so tight at the top then no single team could complain too loudly that they have it 'in the bag' at this stage.
So let's just stop it now.......clearly no seflish thoughts in this at all :)
 
What country is going to want to host any of the games?

No money being made through tourism.
There will not be any fans, so no ticket money.
Think you will find countries pulling out if it actually goes ahead anyway, they would be making financial losses and increase the risk of Covid infections into the country.

Ending the League/European seasons early, and going ahead with the Euros, is about as disastrous as it could get for football financially.
Which is why it will not happen.

Plus having to return the TV money could be more of an issue for the club than we know.

So why are you also claiming this? - "But the league can't be decided on one third of a season"


Plus the league didn't finish until the end of July last year, so I don't understand why you believe it has to end in May.

The virus is far more understood now, we have the testing capacity to fulfill all requirements, the league is in a far better position that last season, and will probably finish this season on time.




"End it now restart when fans can attend........FOOTBALL IS NOTHING WITHOUT FANS"

Why are you so desperate to watch a relegation season live?

I'm not I'm advocating null and voiding it as its shite to watch

Start from scratch in August with fans ie proper football not the facade of a game we are suffering
 
I don’t agree with voiding the season just so we can somehow worm our way out of a fully deserved relegation.

I would however, accept the season ending as it is now, give us relegation and start us in the Championship - we don’t want to watch another 21 premier league ‘narrow defeats’.


My keyboard originally changed ‘narrow defeats’ to ‘barrow defeats’ - we might be bad, but surely we couldn’t lost 21 times consecutively to Barrow??

Prem rules states a season cannot be completed unless at least two thigrds 24 26 games at least are completed.
Any team .including us could argue 12 games left is enough to win 12 and stay up
 
Void the season immediately, avoid relegation, sack Wilder and start again in August, jobs a good un. Not that I would want to take advantage, but there's more to think about than football at the moment.

its factual , you cant base any final outcome whenever any final results are possible with only one third so far completed
liverpool arent scoring goals now , could still be relegated in theory

dont forget it could also save wednesday ,,, but who cares

Yeah it is theoretically possibly for Liverpool to be relegated and for us to survive.

But it’s one thing being theoretically possible and another to actually believe it will happen

yes because teams cant be nearly relegated one season then win the title can they

ask gary lineker
 



40 positive tests today that’s doubled since last week they’re going to have to suspend the season soon surely.

if you want to start with fans -not 2 or 4,000 max but at least 50% capacity I start it in January 22
 
I wouldn't want the season null and voided, suspended yes as cases rising pretty damn quick in PL & games in EFL getting called off far too regularly. The main problem is though PL puts money before health and takes fans for granted, this is shown by no crowds but still spend money like water.
 
Anyone know if the EFL gets suspended will there still be relegations from the Premiership and promotions from the Championship?

My point exactly
We are risking all the prem assets .... the players.
At this rate the games will Peter out

3 weeks ago 7 games were off
2 weeks ago13 games were off
Last week 19 were called off
Its spreading the virus so stop it now
 
If it means we don’t have to keep watching the dross we’re being served up at the moment I’d be grateful.

I had a thought the other day that maybe the players watched all of the games on Blades socials from earlier last season during lockdown and bought into the hype that they were the dogs bollocks.

Maybe if the club releases the ‘highlights’ of all the shite we’ve had to endure this season over any future break in fixtures, then they might realise that they need to pull their fingers out and be good again?!

The issue is that once it’s in the building there’s so many high contact surfaces doors, equipment and shared medical facilities that without a break and deep clean it’s difficult to get it out again.

You can dress it up however you like, advocating a season to be null and voided because the team you support are almost a cert for relegation and are 'shite to watch', isn't a valid reason to end it.

The club is so far behind the others in this league financially as it is, do you really think it wouldn't do damage having to return the PL money which is paying for the increased wages since promotion?

The PL will not be cancelled.
It can be prolonged indefinitely without issue if need be.

Our position is immaterial. Unless they can complete 70 per cent of the season final placing can't be called by it's own rules. And as the new strain is infecting at a much greater rate it's becoming unlikely to complete the games as isolating and quarantine plays out.
But it's true we've been shite .... but I think most fans think the product we are watching is not what we can call professional football

Its training games with cameras
Not been interested in watching games as they all merge into a bit of kneeling down followed by 2 hours of playing football in a library

70% of the season will be completed, stop worrying.
