I don't agree with the restart, i would finish the season now and award them the title to shut them up.

This would be my take on it. Not arsed if they win the title or not, but the idea of risking lives and ploughing precious resources into 60 minute games of football that nobody will be arsed about is grotesque

I agree kicking a ball in the current climate shouldn't be done.

However, PPG I still think is the only way to go if there has to be a way to resolve this season across all leagues in order to keep some structure in place like the French league. It also gives the people in charge plenty of time to figure out how things work going forward.

Have to look across the whole divisions and not just the premiership for me.

PPG is bollox

If like expected transfer fees collapse, I'm sure a fair few clubs would be in for him but it would also depend on if he wants to leave (which if I'm honest, he should, he's talent deserves more than Spurs can give him.)
The new bigger richer club that he joins would also be willing to match what Spurs currently pay him.

If transfer values take a nose dive then it's logical so will wages. Football might become a buyers market.

I understand where you're coming from, and I am talking about every division/league, but I could never advocate PPG if we have to resolve anything - it's goes completly against what sport and football is about for me (the giant killing, upsets, one "poor" team can completely overcome and upset the odds, teams who looked dead and buried go on a run to safety etc). I also don't understand how PPG doesn't open a world of pain in litigation?

We either postpone the season indefinitely to resume when we can safely, buggering up many future seasons or we void it now and get and get next season going somehow - the ongoing farce of project restart is making me hate the game I love.

Purely from a football perspective, PPG is by far the worst of the options. It's outrageously unfair on the relegated teams.

Says an awful lot about their fanbase that you don't quite know whether this is a genuine sentiment or not...

It's better than most ideas spouted...and has been done in Europe.

There's not real fair way of doing any other suggestions as there's always a team that will lose out financially or league status wise.

Unless the games are played.

Totally understandable.

But it's an unprecedented predicament that is complicated to resolve purely on football terms.

Rightly or wrongly a lot of clubs will lose millions or go bust if a wrong decision is made.

Well somebody always loses out, but losing out on PPG is ridiculous in my opinion. Things like home advantage are important of course, and losing out on them is unfair, but just cutting the league short and saying unlucky is much, much worse. Look at a side like Brighton; they looked almost guaranteed to go down when things were stopped. No wins in 9 and by the far the hardest run in of the teams down there. But PPG takes none of that into account and they stay up by default. No wonder their chairman is kicking up such a fuss about the neutral venue plans, PPG would be like a miracle for them.

Again as mentioned before that's looking at it from what could happen to what has happened and we're they are now. From a football morals perspective all the games should be played. But if they can't...what do you?

Ligue 1 didn't mess about and called it all off last month based on PPG. Dutch league voided it mainly due to the lack of financial impact it had.

Yet we still seem hung up about fairness etc

More like Kandle in the Kop.
