In line with the written statement from 100+ lower league clubs, I dispute that the current season is 'dead and is unable to be revived'.
I think the easiest way to return to Football is simply to follow the steps as instructed by the CMO and the government, wait for all this to subside and then, only when it is safe to do so, resume the current season.
I don't believe that causes chaos. I think it pushes back the Football calendar, which is something we'd have to contend with anyway. I believe that voiding the season causes chaos for all of those 100+ clubs, plus the majority of clubs in the 92. It has sizeable financial consequences which could very easily place several of those clubs into administration and threaten their very existence.
There are lots of clubs who haven't signed it as well though. It's the easiest thing in the world to jump on the bandwagon and be critical. Look if it gets cancelled I'd expect our board to kick uo a fuss, point out we are in great form and have a favourable run in and could conceivably still finish 5th. It still doesn't mean the decision to cancel, if all options have run out is not the best one.
In essence the debate is, do we disrupt multiple seasons, or do we cancel 1. There's winners and losers in both scenario's. For me I don;t think it's feasible to re-arrange seasons, so it's either lose part of a season, or potentially lose a whole season. I'm a pragmatism, and it's an easy choice to make.
