I'd love to see their first 2 fixtures back GUARANTEE it's 2 home games against:

Burnley and Brighton
 
Kicking the cab down the road with an obligatory sop to United and Liverpool’s wants. If other leagues void and start their new seasons there’ll be no way the PL will finding this season at any cost.

They won't, Barca and real aside the rest of la Liga would go bankrupt if that happened, same with the other leagues.
They can't afford to lose a massive chunk of revenue for a season.

Let's just hope some other league sets the wheels in motion by cancelling it, then all the other dominos will begin to fall. ;)

Its an interesting point. What would happen if some leagues cancelled but others didn't? Who would champions league places go to? Would players want to leave a club if they knew the next season wasn't going to happen. what would happen to transfer windows and restrictions per season?

So many questions that seem to be conveniently ignored...

For the best. It would have been unjust for it not be completed. Talk of next season being an issue but we don't even know if that will be completed going by what the experts are saying about another virus wave in November. Best to finish this season, rather than ending up with two abandoned seasons.

Of course the RS winning the title is not ideal.

The premier league bean counters and cash acquisition blerts are about to realise that nature is far more powerful than their wants and desires.

No way is this settling down for months and months and months. Lucky if a new league starts by October.

Unlikely we'll start next season at all.

I think this season will be completed by the next 13 months and the next season after that will be the 21/22 season.

2020/21 season will be null and void.

They should just (but won't) cancel next season's Champions League and Europa League trophies and make it a domestic-only season. Write off this season aside from trophies already won, i.e. City and the League Cup.

If cancelling next year's European competition isn't an option, UEFA should give each FA a set date by which to complete all remaining domestic games, before the players take a break prior to the new season. Extend the season until middle of July - an extra 8 weeks - and have each FA demonstrate that they can begin games middle July, and if not, or if a further suspension is brought in, then the league is null and void with immediate effect.

That would mean the FA has 6 weeks now to put a plan together to play out the remaining games. I can't see how this can be achieved with the virus not even at its worst level yet, and with the NHS so stretched meaning they have no capacity to assist with football games, which surely must be the very, very bottom of the barrel in terms of priority.

For me, unless the FA wants to really, really put finance before health, there is no way a season can be completed any time this summer, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they forced it through.
