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

worst case scenario liverpool beat everton and burnley beat man city the league table would be

30 games played - Liverpool - 83 points
29 games played - Man City - 57 points

the difference is 26 points with 27 available

so they can't win at goodison because of that game in hand

Happy day’s then, hopefully no more cancellations until after the weekend then.
 
So Arsenal have played 2 fixtures since, are Pompey players self isolating as well and WestHam players.
so some our pkayers will be self isolating for 14 days, how is that fair when we face Brighton on Saturday. They'll have everyone fit available and we'll be hampered by Coronavirus.
Directly affects relegation as well if they get easy points facing a weakened Arsenal team but Watford/Norwich face a team with no self isolating.
 
It just shows the ridiculous money in football these days. The league will probably get sued whatever decision they make.

Maybe they should get the pools panel to decide the rest of the season's results lol

One for the teenagers there!

What players is it? And how many? They might say you have a squad, use it

How the leagues extract themselves from this situation will be interesting Indeed. Do City even have an available game week between now and the end of the season, for example? This surely won't be the only cancellation either.

Cancelling the season outright would lead to a legal action bonanza, as would some description of play off scenario to decide final standings. Can you imagine the reaction from Leeds for example if they missed out on promotion? Freezing the current standings is no real option either given disparities in games played.

The only workable solution would appear to be to delay the euros into 2021 and let the european club season be extended but there is no way UEFA or FIFA will have that, particularly as FIFA have 2021 pencilled in for their new club world cup.

I'm sure there will be clubs like West Ham etc who'll find loopholes and as an example say they can't do that because players contracts say they are on holiday etc.

Those who have the most to lose will do everything they can to make the situation unworkable.

It's a mess and there's got to be a very real chance that this season does actually get declared void.
