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

So you’ve got years of blatant bias towards a set few teams in the league, a media that’s encouraged to create a big four then six and favour these teams, the founding of the PL to begin with, the ludicrous VAR circus with some very questionable decisions to certain teams and now a finish the season at any cost attitude. The FA might benefit from a little independent investigation methinks.
Investigation will go to VAR and it’ll be a penalty to Liverpool
 

Have a look at the comments at the bottom if you want a giggle.

And now Kane needs to move.

Got to love the BBC.
 

Kopites on here (of which there are many) this is your safe space. Tell us what you really think of the league being voided, I’m interested to hear it.
 
The only thing delaying the announcement that the season is getting cancelled is each authority is wanting someone else to say it. If the FA say it, epl will no doubt sue them for lost earnings, if the epl cancel it, the fa will sue them. Eufa, fifa - all the same

Although they all want the same, finances dictate that none of them will call it.

The season will just keep getting postponed until the government says cancel it.

I agree but the government can't cancel it. All they can do is keep sporting events shut down for as long as they see fit. Someone at some point within the game is going to have to stand up and make a decision.

As much as I'd like them to void the season, there is no need to make a decision now. Let's see where we stand in May and beyond and then a decision can be made with as much information as possible.

Correct. And on that panel I suggest Gary Neville, Danny Murphy and a representive from Sky.
 
I know others have already said it, but if the PL is played out I don't see how you could not finish the three lower divisions as well, and I don't see how it could be done.

LFC would get their number 19, and that's all it would be, a statistic, and we'd have 3 relegated clubs, but what could be done with them.

The whole thing is a logistic nightmare.
 
The lengths the Premier League are going to, in an attempt to finish this season are both obscene and immoral.
They have effectively admitted that it is about money and only money. The health of anyone, be it the players, fans,
staff, medics etc is of no concern to them whatsoever. It is truly disgraceful. I have been a season ticket holder at City
since 1983 and went to my first game in 1968 and I am sickened by what is happening or what is being tried to make things
happen. Like a lot of football fans I have become more and more disillusioned in recent years with football and in particular
the Premier League. However, for me, things have now reached the limit. Like others on here, I haven't actually missed football
anywhere near as much as I thought it would. Maybe my disillusionment was far more acute than I thought? The biased media
coverage, the ridiculous kick off times, the way VAR has been used to corrupt the game and now these latest antics...
For me enough is enough. I currently have a 'Gold' season ticket at the Etihad which costs me £299 a season. Absolutely
fantastic value to watch the players I watch and the football that Guardiola plays - that is with doubt. However, I am very,
very seriously considering not renewing it. I can watch all of the games on my streaming box (I have refused to subscribe
to SKY Sports for many years and never will) and not have the hassle that comes with these silly kick off times. That is
what football has become to me nowadays - a hassle. I'm tired of changing and altering my plans in an attempt to accomodate
a 90 minute game of football which has effectively been ruined by VAR before it even starts. Earlier this season Aguero
scored a superb goal at the Etihad and he didn't even bother to celebrate and none of the other City players did either.
They and we all knew we would have to wait for the VAR ruling. The ball was placed back on the centre spot, the teams lined
up for the kick off and we all waited 3 minutes for the ruling. Thats a long time for the players and fans inside a stadium
to wait in silence. The goal was eventually awarded and the game kicked off again. That was it for me and I know for a lot
of other people in the stadium the game of football we once knew is dead. You now having the people who run the game
behaving absolutely disgracefully with numerous half baked plans to resume the season regardless of any of the potential
consequences. They are scared to death that they will have to refund the broadcasters £762m. That sounds a lot of money.
However, against the cost to the economy that the Coronavirus has wreaked it is absolutely peanuts. It is small change and it
is being done without any real regard for human life. Award the title to Livarpool - who actually cares one jot anymore?
It is meaningless. It is hollow it really is not important when hundreds of people are dying an agonising death each day in
hospital without even having their loved ones with them to console them. But hey, its all about the money.
The game stinks from top to bottom. Enough is enough. Football is the game that got so greedy it actually did eat itself...

Got to love the BBC.

remember when Suarez, Torres, Coutinho won absolutely nothing at Liverpool yet I’ll bet there wasn’t a single article about why they needed to move let alone loads of them like Kane has had or Lukaku had from the day he joined us.
