Cancelling this season's Premier League

[Tubey]

Its the only way.

Yes the likes of Leeds etc may be dissapointed if they dont gain promotion but the legal ramifications of ending it early and calling relegation promotion etc at that point would be unprecedented.

The question I have though is say Liverpool have mathematically won it then the league gets suspended but they cant rearrange the fixtures etc and have to void it. What happens? Surely you cant void a whole season but still have winners?

I know this will sound biased as an Evertonian, but because every other position in the league would be up for grabs, the only option is to declare it null and void - as in it never happened. It wouldn't matter if they'd mathematically won it because they wouldn't have completed the sanctioned 38 games for the season. It'd be like saying once you mathematically win it you can forfeit the rest of the games - you can't.

I see Nottingham Forest’s chairman has Coronavirus.

How many players etc has he made contact with? Would Millwall and Forest be expected to fulfill their fixtures if their team is quarantined.

It’s ridiculous that everything isn’t cancelled!

BBC: "Inter Milan's home game against Sampdoria is among four Serie A fixtures on Sunday postponed over fears of the spread of Corona virus".

Have we reached the point where we need to consider cancelling the rest of the season for the sake of humanity?

For the sake of our sanity. Stop it now, void all games, laugh at the RS and start again after three or four transfer windows.

Staggering isn't it when the inevitable is going to happen and we will have thousands of cases in about 2 weeks.

I wonder why

Bet once their game is finished tomorrow, the supporter ban will come into effect.

Being reported the FA don't have correct insurance to cover an epidemic and they would lose millions cancelling games.

Now it makes sense.

It's at the stage now where it is becoming extremely weird that events in England are carrying on unabated.

 

[EFCPaul]

They'll never cancel it, worst case scenario they just wrap the league up early and everyone finishes where they are.
