I am all for the season restarting ASAP, but not like this:

I would rather they resume it next year than introduce those type of measures. What next? No corners or marking from set pieces???
Ridiculous
This can't happen

I think if they decided to play the remaining Prem fixtures in Australia with no crowds and 30 minute halves Liverpool fans would agree.
These ideas get more desperate everyday.

I spy with my little eye instead of the coin toss,and goalkeeper to have a box of wet wipes in the goal to use everytime he collects the ball.
Wonder what else they will think off
----------------------------------------------------------------------
90 minutes of play in full nuclear-spec hazmat suits.
Club branded, of course. Just think of the merchandising opportunities in that.

It's getting stupid now. Does he not realise how ridiculous this sounds?
I'd be interested to know sky and BT's stance on their TV deals. Would they want a full refund? Would they want to negotiate future rights at a discount?
Given the premier league's desperation I'm assuming the TV money may be withheld if there's no football.

All matches to be played under spotlight no matter what time of day,but with UV bulbs fitted,as recommended by the leader of the free world

Could try playing it like a life sized game of table football. Every player can only move inside a small radius adequately spaced apart in terms of social distancing.

I read something the other day, its more likely BT and Sky will ask for more live games next year to make up the money.
No chance they will get a discount on the next round of biding.
If people are talking about the whole of next season behind closed doors, no reason why every single game cant be live on TV.
The clubs could end up getting more money than if they had crowds (except maybe the top few teams)
Let all TV companies bid for the extra games, this would generate enough cash to make up for this year should the season not be able to finish.

Another day goes by and Project Restart gets more and more idiotic and insane.
Players are afraid! There not stupid!
Well one of those statements is true
Just null and void before it becomes an even bigger farce.

Lots of new laws being rushed into place by opportunistic politicians all over the world.
I wouldn't put it past the football authorities to start laying ground for the much touted ban on headers.
