The Premier League have an emergency meeting on Thursday to discuss this topic and they do that with a general acceptance now that football won’t be able to resume early April. Number of options being put forward:
1. Make the 19/20 season void and start again in August. Tough luck Liverpool.
2. Postpone the euros until next summer and finish this season in the summer.
3. Halt the season now and decide the champions, European qualifiers and relegation teams based on current positions.
4. Halt the season now, give Liverpool the title, and have play offs to decide the European and relegation positions.
5. Decide on current positions but have no relegation and allow promotion for the top two teams in the championship to make next season a 22 team premier league.
Not an ideal answer in any of those. And do the Premier League make their own decision or should uefa propose a consistent policy across Europe including when the summer transfer window would open and close.

The National League and most other non league competitions have been declared void for 19/20 and the current positions will be deemed the final ones. If that is ratified by the football league then Barrow and Harrogate would be eligible for promotion to League Two. Fylde and Chorley (!) would be relegated.
Whether that is accepted by the efl will depend on how they decide the 19/20 season is ended. Would the bottom two teams in league two now be relegated, that’s Morecambe and Stevenage, or would an extra two teams be added or would the same 24 play again next season. What I hope is that the leagues finish properly, whenever that can be

dont see how it is in anyway fair to have european qualification, promotion and relegation on a shortened season.
if the season is null and void then that is what it is and we start again as the position last august.

On Friday the Premier League will further discuss proposals for the rest of this season. The idea that’s gaining traction is for the rest of the games to be played behind closed doors between May and July. That’s a financially driven idea because the tv contract for this season ends on 16 July with the new one starting on 1st August. If the season doesn’t end by 16 July then the tv companies are entitled to a refund of up to £762m

The Premier League have suspended fixtures indefinitely today but have confirmed that the 19/20 season will be finished as soon as it is safe to do so. Completely the correct decision in my mind. Let’s not worry about next season until this one is finished

UEFA are hoping that the main leagues in Europe will recommence in June or July (doubtful in my opinion)
They are therefore looking to schedule a 3 week period in August when the Champions League and Europa Leagues will be played to a conclusion. If teams are unable to admit fans then the games would go ahead behind closed doors.
Money rules and they would need to pay a big refund to the tv companies if these tournaments aren’t completed before next season starts
