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

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.

They wouldn’t.

They would have the same break in between as they do between normal seasons.

Then “next” season commences 2 months after the finish of the current one, whenever the authorities decide that will be.
 
why do you seem to have a problem with the August to may season,you have said it so many times-end the season with a date that no one can moan about and not in 3/4/5/months times,and start the season as close to august if pos

I don’t have a problem with the Aug-May season. No problem with it at all. Happy for it to run Aug-May, happy for it to run Oct-July. It doesn’t matter to me in what months the season runs, why should it? Footy is played all year round, it literally doesn’t make a difference when it starts and ends.

Why do you seem to have a problem with a season that doesn’t run Aug-May?

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...”

Bet you cracked one off whilst typing that. Enjoy your title win...no-one gives an actual F* about it anymore.
 
How is it not that important in order to fit international tournaments in the summer?

Why must international tournaments be in the summer?

Given that the next World Cup was never going to be, even before CV19.

I’m fairly confident the tens of thousands of employees, fans and stakeholders of Bolton, Bury and co care when voiding would literally force them out of existence.

Bury are already pretty much out of existence.

You don’t give a toss about lower league clubs Cookachoo.
 
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.

I fear next season might be completely cancelled or be like something more akin to the war time competitions.

The second wave (sorry to keep going on about it) might be in the authorities minds.

Nah - the world will be a different place after all of this. Football after all is merely a game (not even a true sport), played mostly (few exceptions) by rich, self-absorbed bells and run by greedy bastards.

The properly run clubs would ensure that clubs like Bury, Bolton etc would never go out of business because of this crisis. So completing the season and not voiding simply because of this, is not really up for debate.

your paymasters at uefa might have problem,they wont abandon the euros for a second time just so the premier league can finish any later than may.

Oh yeah, what clubs are voluntarily going to cover their obligations, mate?

Are all the clubs going to rally together and sort them out like they did for Parma, Bury and Rushden and Diamonds?
