Project restart discussion.

Dont remember him at City nor United. Couldnt have been at either for long.

He was on loan at City in 1998 and played for United in the 1982 - 83 season.
A good pub quiz question that one!

Problem is even if France relegate teams in the bottom 3 - it wont work here as Villa have a game in hand and would put in a big legal challenge.

Its either play on or null and void - however no doubt the scum will try make 1st place count but none others.

The PL would get sued if they relegate the clubs without finishing the season (unless they pay massively for those clubs to agree to it - how long did it take Villa to come back up to risk that?). If you can't have relegation then it has to be voided. If you void a season you can't have a champion. Simple.

Joe Anderson saying to call off the season now too.

Premier League restart: Liverpool mayor fears 'farcical' situation

Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson says resuming the Premier League is a "non-starter" and fears a "farcical" situation if fans congregate outside Anfield.

That'll go down well lol

He did say they should be awarded the title though, but I don't think he realises if you award them the title today they will en-masse head for Anfield to celebrate. No different than playing the games.

I would like the authorities to come out and say we'll award you the title but if just one group of 10 or so people is seen celebrating then it will be taken away just for the giggles

I didn’t get that far

John Gidman also came very close to it. He played for Liverpool youth team but never made the first team squad.

PSG have been awarded the title.

They were 12 points clear with a game in hand.

BREAKING NEWS: PSG are 'crowned as champions of France'

Paris Saint-Germain have been crowned champions of France despite the season being ended early due to the coronavirus pandemic. Lorient have been promoted as champions of Ligue 2.

Hahaha like clockwork this fella isn't he, not even the tiniest bit subtle anymore.

The outcome of Germany doing a round of testing for all their players will be interesting - they're currently on with it now and assume they'll share the stats. If it's ridiculously low, can see that the premier League will quickly jump on it to accelerate their own comeback.

 

[Harryflashman]

It doesn’t matter if they get awarded the league. It’ll be hilarious.

I’d rather they gave it to them than this ridiculous St. George’s park mini tournament rubbish . I think that’s just pathetic and feels like an insult to Even my limited intelligence .

Worth noting 2 things. 1 Toulouse are already suing. Apparently it's only 1/3 of the way through the French decision making chambers anyway so a long way to go until it's ratified there. If they follow through though, Toulouse and another 2 teams sue, they will win, and a court will establish it's null and void. That then sets a legal precedent for every other league. What the first phase has done in France is tied the title to relegation. Had they awarded the title to PSG and not relegated that would have been more worrying. However this looks like a massive overshoot. Expect France's next to chambers to throw out the idea of awarding the title as idiocy though. I hope it goes to court though, it's an easy win for a relegated club, and the precedent would then be widely set across Europe.

On the 2nd point you just know the thick bellends will fall straight for the trap as well. They will be spouting off about going to celebrate it, all over social media. They will just be all shown to the police government, who will obviously use it as a risk factor.

The desperation to get this season done is completely lost on me. It's hard enough to watch Everton at the best of times, never mind in an empty stadium with a game that means nothing to us because we've nothing to play for.

 

[PhilM]

I can't wait for Blackpool to be given the ol' First Division Title as well.

 

[Yarrgh]

He's the only player ever to have played for:
Everton, Liverpool, Man United & Man City.
Not a bad claim to fame that!

Shush, that's the only bit of sports trivia that I know that might ever come in useful.

I'm not convinced we'll see as many cases of legal action as people seem to suggest. I'm not convinced courts would side with clubs in these circumstances either.

There is no precedent for this.

Psg champions? Gonna happen isn't it...

If that's what it takes to end the season then so be it. That "title" will be a mark of shame for the RS forever, nobody (including a good chunk of their own fans) will ever recognize it legitimate. Personally if we where ever in that position then I'd sooner not have the title at all then be the team that "won the Premier League without actually winning it!". It makes them an even bigger laughing stock then they already are, the world will laugh at them as their big moment becomes an absolute farce and their title becomes a participation trophy.

I can't wait to see what banner Man United come up with for it.
Maybe a bit of a catchy song to go with it.
