But you can't just make one decision favouring just one club, when there is European places and relegation / Promotion places to be decided. I mean who the hell in all this virus ridden world would just think that only one club matters ?

My only logical solution is and whilst it’s somewhat favouring some teams it isn’t others. Is allocate European spots to teams as they are now.

No winners, No Relegation and an expansion.

If they have to award them a title, they award them a title, and even though we hate them, would anyone really say it’s not fair?

would be more unfair to relegate Bournemouth in 18th by goals difference than to not award Liverpool a title.

Correct, and that's precisely why it won't happen without the vast majority of clubs agreeing to the voiding of the season.

As it's not in their interests to do so yet, most teams still have a shed load to play for, they wouldn't vote to void it.

Assuming future scheduling and contract issues can be overcome, there is nothing wrong with simply delaying the season and allowing the leagues to finish in their natural sporting way, once it's safe to do so.

As you say, it would be hugely unfair to a lot of teams to void the leagues and create a whole lot more legal matters to resolve off the back of this.

It won’t even be the teams to decide it will be the leagues cheif exec etc. the best way is to null and void the lot it’s only fair that way

So again, since you keep swerving it. I don’t care if you support Everton, Liverpool or both which is possibly as you’ve been caught up in the past regularly talking out of your backside.

What are your arguments for finishing this season in the summer and permanently affecting the state of the PL - and possibly competitions - afterwards?

I'm not swerving any question. My argument is that it's in the interests of fairness and the sport to finish the current season for all clubs, when it's safe to do so. The argument for voiding it appears to be based on the agenda's of certain clubs who've not had a particularly good year for whatever reason, but very few are clear on that and are actually citing concerns over scheduling and contract expirations - which is absolute guff.

Also, It's your assertion that finishing this season in the summer would permanently affect the state of the PL, not mine. Starting now, within 2 years either side of this World Cup, with some minor adjustments to the schedule, it would exceptionally easy to return to the leagues current Aug-May schedule. Again, we assume that's really important that it runs in those months, it may not be all that vital. Why couldn't the league run October - July or November - August for a few years, how would that impact the rest of the sport, assuming it was a co-ordinated effort (which it will be).

How is that fair, Matty?

Teams like Bournemouth and Villa go down when they've got a strong chance of staying up. Sheffield United miss out on Europe despite spending most of the season there and despite other teams having played a game more than them. Atalanta, RB Leipzig don't get their chance to compete in the last 8 of the Champions League. Leeds don't come back up after 16 years away from the Prem. Plus the obvious one.....

It's wholly unfair, and against the interests of the majority of clubs, if leagues are voided, which is why it won't happen. Any decision taken by UEFA and the various FA's will be taken after consultation with their member clubs.

It will be a token gesture to award them the title so we can say the season was completed.


Don't think the clubs will say void it if they don't get paid. This way the season has officially finished with Liverpool as champions, whoever is top in the championship crowned.

No one gets relegated.

The clubs will have to all come to an agreement and money talks.

Lets be honest - the FA will do absolutely everything to give LFC the title before next season.

Dont get your hopes up.

Laughing at that Maddocks tweets though he's convinced the FA Cup and CL will be scrapped to allow the league to be played for the tricky reds to win the league.

But what about the relegation/promotion battles, a lot of money involved here.

It wouldn't be every other season. It would be 4 or 5, a couple either side of the World Cup and you could shift the schedule to get it back to Aug-May.

Why is it so important the season runs Aug-May anyway?

No one gets promoted, ask the Baggies and Leeds.

The season always has and always should start in August
