Haha o yeah.
The main reason for me it has to void is the inbreeding idiots will take to the streets to celebrate with a parade. The virus is already big in Liverpool because of them playing that last Champions league game

Exactly this. Imagine the amount of house partys etc there would be for there title win. In face any game getting streamed; people like to watch footy with their mates.. every game you’d have 1000’s of people popping to eachothers houses for a couple beers, spreading the virus again. Let alone the ‘older’ people that wont understand how to stream games. Recipe for disaster.

At least half the clubs in the Premier League will push for the season to finish on July 1, even if it does not leave enough time to play all the remaining games, in what could be a pivotal shareholders’ meeting on Friday.

While there had been a collective desire to finish the season, however long it takes, club executives now fear that the matter of expiring player and staff contracts is becoming impossible to resolve. “We are in danger of entering chaos territory,” a club insider told The Times

Tbf I've read similar and share the feelings that noone should be put out or in danger at this current awful time.

Without fans there will be at least a sizeable gathering...

Both clubs have 20 players, 18 in their match day squad and usually 2 extra for dropouts.

Then there's probably another 20 staff for each club (management, coaches, doctors, physios, analysts, sports scientists).

Then we're looking at...

- Ambulance and a few parameeics.
- FA officials (plus 3/4 in every booth at Stockley Park).
- Cameramen, commentary and production team (for radio and TV).
- Club staff (groundsmen etc)

Presumably there's no journalists on site but if there are that's easily another 20.

150+ total probably. .

And the question needs asking if this is appropriate use of healthcare workers at the moment.

The 9 clubs though are not ruling out a contrived finish as in Scotland's lower leagues with no further games played.

They want ideally, if circumstances allow it as sensible, the season to finish by July (with no fans but that may be impossible anyway) but are at pains to say it's totally dependent on the situation with the virus, and the government advice, they are not intending to exert any pressure just want a more realistic debate than restart the unfinished season whenever.

They just want clarity from the premier league with EUFA's idea of extending contracts to the end of the season (whenever that is) not at all likely to stand up to any legal challenge and totally worthless.

There are huge financial considerations not least players contracts, possibly teams losing players out of contract before a late restart, season ticket sales and transfer targets already with dates attached which may make a curtailed or aborted season with no more games but a formula for deciding matters, a far better alternative than just restarting whenever with huge uncertainty about a restarted season and a compromised next one.

They want the premier league to at least debate whether it's now impractical to insist on the season finishing in all circumstances and whether it's better to not look at finishing and starting the new season fresh in August or later as the situation becomes clearer.
 
It may make the premier league consider not restating at all with the start of July as their ideal finish as time constraints would make any practicality to doing so impossible and as such a non playing formula worked out to finish the aborted season, if so the 9 clubs will have opened a debate worth having.

Are the RS the only losers if the league is voided? You would think so from what the media gives out.

One huge thing is being ignored.... Moise Kean will still not have scored a goal if the season is voided. See! we suffer as well.

Of course he wouldn't have scored, because he wouldn't have played a game yet

Does Newcastle not count? Oh wait I get you now
 
The thing is, even if games were to be played behind closed doors and the RS win it, there’ll be no open-top bus parades that’s for sure. Any kind of mass gatherings will be banned until the autumn at the earliest I would imagine. So no worries, it’ll all be over and quickly forgotten

The 'behind closed doors' idea itself is bananas. It's an idea put forward by half-wits like Danny Murphy because they have an agenda where they personally want the season to be finished, regardless of the health consequences.

Basically, behind closed doors games still represent a major risk due to the gathering and close proximity of hundreds of people.

Don''t let is stress you Harv, it will be cancelled soon.

They're all just playing the game now saying the right things and pretending they're trying their best. in reality it's getting pulled.

It'll be null and voided very soon which I know you'll be made up about.
