Cancelling this season's Premier League

Should football be canceled until August and this season declared null and void?

I've just been going through the league's that I might have a slight interest in, and they're all cancelled apart from the Russian Premier League. So what can you good people tell me about it? Who should I be looking out for and who should I lend my armchair support to?

It's a terrible league.

Japanese music and Russian footy, this is like some sick joke.

Aren't you going to be executed in Italy anyway? You're far too busy for nonsense like that.

The league on my playstation is still in progress. There are 38 years of history since it started as a subbuteo league as a kid.

Villa currently top, closely followed by Notts F and Coventry (last year's champions) who are finding a run of form. Traditional power houses - Everton, Wolves, Stoke and Derby all mid tableish. The rs spent a year in the league last season just to be relegated.

I could keep you up to date with progress and detail for the cost of sky subscription lol
 
There are reports of this summer's euros certain to be cancelled - fairly obvious tbh and the season finished late summer

With the Qatar World Cup Winter 2022, they could just work backwards and have a calendar season 2021 and a calendar season 2022.

Liverpool likely to be crowned champions even if this season is abandoned as there's no appetite amongst their distant rivals to deny them the title. Relegation and promotion is far more problematic as is European qualification etc which possibly necessitates this season finishing at some time before the next starts.

Loads of complications with some players contracts ending in June and the integrity of any competition massively compromised by such an extended break - so alternatives reportedly being discussed for promotion/relegation and European qualification if the season has to be abandoned without any restart.

Also transfer windows and how that might alter playing squads in the break.
 
This is all quite simple:

Rules are rules and that is final.

If we start showing discretion here, then a precedent is set; and look where VAR interpretations have got us.

It may seem unfair, but the bottom line is, the season hasn’t been completed.

Conclusion: null and void.

C’est la vie.
