I’m going to drink a bottle of whisky and cry tonight that the FA have ruined my day
It may not require the consent of the players, if there are extenuating circumstances built into the contracts.
United have just extended Matic' contract for 1 year without him having to re-sign as it was already built into the agreement.
I'm sure the club's lawyers will be trawling through the fine print of those contracts to ensure they are watertight and protect the clubs as much as possible.
If one or two players are able to circumnavigate it, then that's a much smaller legal issue than voiding a full season.
That's quite an assumption, we don't know that this will happen.
What if Ryan Fraser came to Everton on a free and scored the winner against them on the last day to send them down? They'd just go "ah well, them's the rules, back to the Championship we go"?
that really doesn't matter, what if a team has loads of injuries and have to play a load of youths (i.e. not first team regulars in your eyes), who are all going out of contract. They just leave then? A team who started the season thinking they had a good squad of 28 now has a squad of 10 because they were planning on doing a mass recruitment in the summer.
It doesn't matter if you only see it as "just a few people affected", it's got to be fair and equal for everyone.
What about the lower leagues who rely on those loan players to make a team?
It's easy to extend a contract by a month but loan players would be a nightmare for how many there are
You can't register new players during the season, other than during the January transfer window. So Fraser couldn't sign for anyone until the season ended.
If the season continues into June, the transfer window will be pushed back too.
For you to calm down and wait m8, The FA obviously want to finish the season but they don't know how bad the virus will get so they're getting breathing space to come up with ideas what's going to happen to the league.What’s it mean mate?
Far more important things to be concerning yourself with at the minute than football, Matty.
indees but doesn’t mean I can’t feel depressed over it
You also can't force players to stay beyond their current contracts, but here you are arguing til you're blue in the face that they can.
indees but doesn’t mean I can’t feel depressed over it
I'm not arguing that they will, I'm saying it's one of many possibilities open to clubs concerned about losing players.
And even if you're argument is that it's utterly impossible, 6 clubs losing 9 players for a handful of games isn't valid reason to void a season.
Nothing worth getting depressed over, mate.
It will pass. Plenty to remain positive about.

What are the other “many” possibilities mate?
