Breaking news on the Athletic, (not copied and pasted) FIFA is to confirm an indefinite extension to the current season, allowing each country’s FA to determine when campaigns finish.

To be announced in the next 48 hours, FIFA will alter the dates of the summer transfer window and permit contract extensions for players whose deals run out on June 30.

It is thought this decision significantly reduces the chances of a null and void season, with one Premier League club commenting it was a “really sensible decision...”

Congrats on your ridiculously tainted "title win".
 
I dont understand that to be honest. In order for next season to start at a certain point, how can there not be a deadline?

There has to be unless next season is being written off, which will surely cost clubs more money as its a full season.

Or is being equally delayed in line with the current one?

Good idea Cookachoo, we can have international tournaments in December for the rest of time.

Lesser of two evils. Most could happily tolerate a couple of years of December international tourneys if it means clubs don’t go bust.
 
Can't see them allowing this to go on, imho it's more paper talk.

If this drags on until August/September and the clubs are made to finish this season before immediately going on to the next one then teams like us that have little to play for will be playing those as warm up games to ensure we get the best possible start to next season and that we don't get player burnout. This means playing kids etc. Yes we could get a few million quid for finishing higher or maybe even Europa but that isn't worth it at the expense of next season, picking up injuries and alike. We would be foolish not to take advantage of the situation by coming in fresh when some have had a battle to save themselves relegation or get to the CL.

Hardly going to create a league of integrity.

It wouldn’t be a couple though would it Cooks? Unless you at some point return to the normal calendar, which means writing off a season.

Or, the powers that be decide that the normal Aug-May calendar actually isn’t all that important. Then you can fit everything in.
