Season won’t be completed

[originaltrueblade]

Virus spreading I don’t think the season will be completed. Suspended maybe but realistically scrapped.

Thoughts?

 

[Bartleby]

First

 

[Stretch]

Reckon they will suspend it like last time, if they take any action at all.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Good. Fuck it off until vaccine is found, improve squad in meantime. On the other hand Wendy are gonna be relegation fodder so il take a Covid, and raise you a wendy relegation.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Nah. It will get done. Players will miss games and games will get called off but not completed? Unlikely

 

[Northyorksblade]

Knowing our luck, cancelled on ppg

 

[originaltrueblade]

Pigs can restart new season on -12 all over again

 

[Geordie Blade]

It will carry on. £££.

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Hopefully gets suspended and we get JOC, Mousset and Fleck back for the restart

 

[Joshp]

Here before the politics talk.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I fucking hope so Norwich style.

 

[Stretch]

That wouldn't happen after so few games.

 

[ScottBlade]

Scrap it now and start a new season from scratch when we're good i mean when it's safe.

 

[Hartley Hare]

Phew...that's a relief.

I'm not saying they'll do it now........

 

[Kev Gee]

As far as im aware they would only finish the season on PPG if 3/4 of the season has been completed.
Anything before would probably be null & void I reckon.

 

[raimond]

It might be disrupted/delayed if things get worse aye...but if we do go into lockdown, and if they do stop any sport/entertainment, doubt they'll do so until May will they??

 

[raul]

The game that constitutes a "full" season will be the final one. We will be 4th bottom, needing to avoud defeat to stay up. Injuries and Covid will have taken sufficient toll to see P. Jagielka starting at right-back...

 

[Oldun]

Set a precedent last season. Why would it not be finished, even if it gets paused?

There was a vote weeks ago but no one seems to know what the outcome was.

Be doing them a favour.

The outcome was well documented but never confirmed officially. They did agree if 75% of the season had been completed the season would end with the current standings. If one team in the league had played less games then PPG would be used instead.

If 75% isn't played, the season will be declared nulled.

Think there’s a possibility it will go t!ts up. Look at rugby, individuals and whole squads going down with it. It’s gonna happen, one team at a time will start getting cases and if it’s one of the self proclaimed big six off to a bad start the plug will get pulled if it’s to their advantage.

 

[Dutch Blade]

They will finish it no matter what. It's about money, and when a team can field 11 players they will go on. Only reason to postpone would be if all the big money team would lose a lot of players for more than 1 game.

 

[Foody]

I'm not convinced it'll be suspended or cancelled. If the lockdown rumours are true, it sounds very much like a lockdown light anyway. If schools and university's remain open, so will child care and loads of other support services. If most of the country are still at work and our kids at school, I can't see football stopping. The clubs have a way more robust system than any of our employers. So it would send our a worrying message about safety in the workplace.

 

[wizadry]

I really couldn’t give a flying fuck what they do now, it’s that fucked up that I’m not sure it can get much worse.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Depends if the scousers are top I guess.

Well, firstly because a lot less of the season has been played. More importantly, there's clearly a complete lack of ability to keep the spread of the virus under control. At the time it was hoped that the first lockdown would be the last. Now seems like we'll be in and out of full lockdowns for a good long while.
