Seeing the cricket isn't contemplating starting until the end of May you just can't see how they can fit this in.

The WRU has cancelled their league with no winners or relegation, hopefully more and more do the same and expunge this season horribilis.

Don't underestimate the lengths they will go to ensure the RS lift the trophy, mate.

I wouldn't be surprised if, end of April, they announced an indefinite delay to the end of the season and confirmed the season will 100% play to its conclusion when it's safe to play again, and the next season will start late as a result.

In all honesty they could catch up about two months of a season by cutting out some international breaks and scheduling two games a week for some weeks during the season.

Anyway, hope to God that just cancel this season.

It’s out of the PL’s hands.

The minute UEFA make the call on whether the CL/EL will be completed or not, then the leagues fall into line. As if the new CL campaign is called with a normal start date (virus permitting) then any Kopite inspired idea of playing the season out at the start of the next one, and somehow ruining 2 seasons not one, dies on its arse.

FIFA could also call it, if they decree that playing on beyond 30th June had been examined but ruled out, as the legal consequences in terms of employment law were insurmountable.

Their only realistic chance is that the virus somehow disappears by early May and the game restarting, either behind closed doors or as normal, and it being played out by June 30th. Likelihood = extremely unlikely.

the FA will announce that April 2019 will have an extra 200 days in it so that the season can be completed before June end.

Fifa and uefa get on the same page on this. They will not want this spilling into the Euros and world cup.

One of the major problems I see with them being crowned winners and being handed the title is it kind of makes it official.
Which means the inbreads will want to take to the streets to celebrate.
We cant have gatherings and the only way to avoid that is too cancel it altogether.

The irony is, the morons will definitely launch a campaign at some point saying they'll celebrate the league if announced. It will be cloaked in faux entitlement, "this means more" "we deserve this" "I've waited 30 years for this" "the players deserve it". Look out for those comments as a dead give away of the throbbing narcissism.

Anyway this will be a consideration. Government, the state, the police, UEFA the FA will essentially be told if theres a chance they will want to celebrate it, you cant take the chance.

Unfortunately it wont come to this. Its not in the balance. If the season is cancelled they are not champions. But they really wont be helping their own cause with their inherent spoilt and selfish behaviour.

Leagues are starting to be cancelled too. I've seen Rugby under the top flight has been finished. More will follow in the weeks to come.

Yet we have Michael Owen proclaiming the "great" news and predicting we play again in April. They do not know what is going to hit them. They think the likes of Owen and Thomson know what they are talking about and this all blows over for them to romp to the league in May. I had kne tell me that the flue was 10x more dangerous. Theyve got no idea.

That imbecile of a bloke with his daughter in his arms outside The Pit last week, "nobody wants us to win the thing, everyone is jealous of us. So what, we'll make our own trophy"
Don't you just love them!

Yeah that would be great. Let them make their own trophy and they can play themselves for thirty eight games every season and win it. Hahaha, they really are a breed apart.

What do you expect? Football has never been the home of intellectual thought. Thankfully, important decisions of national interest aren't left to the dolts who gave up school at 13 to kick a ball around.
 
The perceived tactic against this virus seems to be to contain and release people over intervals as seen by that wave like pattern. This means that for the long term life will not really return to normal and therefore I cant see next season running smoothly or even being guaranteed to begin as usual in August.
