The club have just released a statement that Gbamin is expected to be fit enough to be considered for our next game.

It’s a bigger litigation nightmare if you relegate teams / don’t promote teams / don’t award European places without playing the full set of games.

Another nightmare...according to their agreement with Sky the Premier League are obliged to finish the league season. THe same applies to the EFL. There is nothing in the contract which allows the EPL and the EFL to NOT finish the season. Sky would be quite within their rights to ask for all their money back. So...the Premier League have all this money, and many clubs will want financial help. Another thing...Graham Taylors Players Association have loads of money, and the longer this bites, the more likelihood that some clubs will not be able to pay players. What a mess !!

We'd still find a way to lose!

We could just give them a few players and tell them thats what we spent it on.

Another bad thing about this is that this woeful season drags on even longer.

You joking? This is the best bit.

I just want the whole thing voided, not prolonged.

Voiding this season would honestly be one of the funniest things that’s ever happened in the history of football.

It's worth saying, the governments projections (positive projections) are 1/2 a million deaths. Events will very quickly move on from football and why it's a little harsh to not award the title to Liverpool. There will be far more pressing issues.

Source please?

Half a million deaths in the uk?

The worst thing is say if Football does resume they can easily get it behind closed doors and spread it if they haven't caught it already then we're back to square 1 again, Sticky situation tbh.

The spread isn’t due to peak until the middle of June. It’s looking ever increasingly likely that it’s going to be knocked on the head, as will all sports until about September. Honestly the most surreal thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
