So hard to say what will happen now.
One scenario is that the current situation could go well into next year. If that happens, how many clubs do you think will survive?
If it goes into next year, the Premier League of its affiliates or associates would probably be riddled in debt. It would be better to wind up the Premier League company and register a new company.
This would mean a new set of leagues across England with a new name. We could call it 'The New League".
As we know, changing the name of the top division would force us to start the league title count from zero again, just like we did in 1992.
This would mean all clubs starting with zero "New League" titles. United with Ole, Arsenal with Arteta, Chelsea with Lamps and Liverpool with Klopp. May the best team win.
Thoughts?
New Top Division in England.

I think we should just have a 92 team league for a few years, then the placing a at the end of that determine what league you go into. Top 20 go into the Lubo Premier League. Next 24 into the Lubo Championship, and so on.
I guarantee you'd get a few lower league teams do surprisingly well, and at least one PL team end up in league 2. My money is on West Ham. What about you?

So you want a season consisting of 8372 games
That would take 20 years to complete
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Show your working out?
I get 92 teams playing 182 games per season, 16744 in total.
Those games could be on the current schedule of 2 per week (assuming we don't bother with cups or internationals) taking us to 91 weeks.
If the season runs from May 1 to August 30 it would take 5.35 years to play out a full season. Say 5, if we fit a few more extra games in around Christmas.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a 92 team league, each team plays the other 91 teams twice, i.e. 92 x 91 games = 8372
We currently play 380 games a season. 8372 / 380 = just over 22 years
Currently we have 20 teams in the prem. 20 x 19 = 380 = total number of games to be played
24 in the Champ, 24 x 23 = 552 games

Sky would bankrupt themselves to get the tv rights at 999 trillion
posted on 31/3/20
At this moment in time, especially at this moment in time, with all games suspended, many clubs fighting for survival and facing bankruptcy, the last hing we need is a new league. The TV companies would love it, a much reduced PL, say 10 clubs or less, lets make in European, or even international! games all over the world, just to satisfy their pockets. No thanks.
The name of the game, pardon the pun, is survival. While it wasn’t perfect, the PL/EFL wasn’t broke. Yes, there was a complete imbalance between clubs and their respective finances, but with, I strongly suspect, the TV companies dictating the way forward, it would not bode well for football in England.
If you’re looking for a classic example of that, just cast your eyes north of the border.
Enough said.

guys, you are allowed out to have a brief exercise or go to shops.
I suggest you do so as this thing shows people are at the end of their ropes now

But correct
posted on 31/3/20
Actually, I'll modify it somewhat
The total number of games @ 8372 is correct
But with a 92 team league it means we can have 46 games played per week
So you'd need 182 playing weeks, roughly 5 years

You got there in the end.

We currently play 380(760) games a season. 8372 / 380 = just over 22 years(this math doesn't make sense as lots of games are played on the same day)
Currently we have 20 teams in the prem. 20 x 19(38 home AND away) = 380(760) = total number of games to be played
24 in the Champ, 24 x 23(46) = 552 (1104) games
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A few corrections there. Just trying to help
Picture the whole season with just one team playing 38 games. The game is to find how many seasons it takes to complete 182 games.
Season 1: 38
Season 2: 76
Season 3: 114
Season 4: 152
Season 5: 190
So by the end of season 5 the team will have played 190 games.
