PL Statement - the relevant part to this thread......

Season restart
It was acknowledged that the Premier League will not resume at the beginning of May – and that the 2019/20 season will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so.
The restart date is under constant review with all stakeholders, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic develops and we work together through this very challenging time.
The Premier League is working closely with the whole of professional football in this country, as well as with the Government, public agencies and other relevant stakeholders to ensure the game achieves a collaborative solution.
With this, there is a combined objective for all remaining domestic league and cup matches to be played, enabling us to maintain the integrity of each competition.
However, any return to play will only be with the full support of Government and when medical guidance allows.
The sporting and financial implications for Premier League clubs as well as for The FA, EFL and National League were considered at today’s meeting.
 
Whats with Eufa telling leagues they cant cancel prematurely? can they do that without a rule change?

No - they dont have the jurisdiction to dictate, what they can do however is not accept last seasons result as the grounds for qualification, assuming if voided you go back to last seasons table.

your STILL at it
 

I was just about to say the amount of reds on Twitter complaining that no firm restart date has been given is astonishing.

But its actually pretty predictably tedious.

It’s eating at the armchair Reds that they can’t wave their flags at the tv, the locals that can actually go and know where the ground is are a lot saner
 
PL and UEFA are kidding themselves if they think football will return this calendar year.

Personally, I think you are absolutely spot on this. It damages the "lets concentrate on getting next season right from August" argument though
