Why are people still so desperate for the current season to finish, unfortunately with all the variables and inconsistencies etc now at work, this season is just about as insignificant and meaningless as it can be.
With everything that has gone on, the season could never be completed and considered a legitimate season, it has been stained irretrievably. It is just desperation from anybody that argues otherwise.
It is harsh on certain clubs, but this season is dead, and should be declared as such. Finishing a stop start season after being suspended for months etc is just absolute nonsense.
(before Don pipes up with his agenda, this is not a anti Liverpool notion, but rather one of basic common sense).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m not desperate for the season to finish. If anything from a selfish Spurs point of view, I don’t particularly want it to re start as would probably mean Spurs keep our CL place from last season if it were to get cancelled, but it won’t because the season will get finished. The question is, why are you and Sandy so vocal on the season to be void ? Pretty obvious, it’s because you both are desperate for Liverpool to not win the title and that’s the truth and you both know it mateyou both won’t be convincing me otherwise
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, you just can`t see the bigger picture and ramifications of everything. Try applying some common sense to the whole situation. It would be completely unfair if teams were relegated or promoted under these circumstances, the season is compromised irretrievably.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is it compromised mate ? Liverpool were smashing the league anyway. We are just delaying the inevitable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don this has been done to death a thousand times, there are endless reasons why the season is compromised, if you can`t see why then you are beyond help bud.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not compromised though mate. If the season re starts, then we pick off where we let off. Every club is in the same boat in regards to fitness, so it’s not like Spurs will be at an advantage. If Liverpool win the league, they win it fair and square mate and deservedly so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don, Spurs will have gained an unfair advantage, we were going nowhere with all our injuries, now these players will be back fit, it is the same for clubs up and down the country in all leagues. Clubs with momentum lose it, other clubs have a chance to regroup, etc etc etc, I could be here all day. In no way can this season be completed fairly and without compromise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that’s just the nature of the beast mate. No one could of predicted this mess. When the footy resumes, Liverpool deservedly will win the title and nothing will change that. You can spout compromised all you want mate, Liverpool will win the title.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They may well do, but this season will forever have an asterisk against it, which will be a stick for rival fans to beat them with for years to come. You do have an unhealthy interest in Pool Don, is your GF a dipper by any chance?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Even if we had lost the remainder of our games the likelihood is we'd have won it. It's not a stick to beat us with at all.

Haven't had the time to read through all of the comments so apologies if this has already been mentioned but the government's line of "things won't be return to normal for up to 6 months" doesn't mean a total lockdown for that time. It means social distancing, partial lockdowns, vigilant gatherings. To put it simply this country, nor any other, could copy with a 6 month shutdown economically. The government will definitely lift sanctions sooner than you think to keep the cogs turning. I think they'll fast-track the antibody test so that those who've already had it can return to work safely in the knowledge they'll be immune for a couple of months at least.
It's easy to be downbeat but there's so much we don't know about this disease yet or how far away a potential vaccine is. It could be quicker than the predicted 18 months when you consider every country in the world is working on this. The next few weeks will tell us a lot. We'll see what happens when sanctions are lifted in China, Italy and Spain. Does it return with same power or is its rapid infection rate meaning 'herd immunity' is begin to develop?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What I don't get is you could be tested, results come back OK, off to work you go, but what is to stop you catching it, the day after you thought you were tested ok.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s impossible. The only way you’d be tested and approved to go back to work is if you have the antibodies having already had it. If that is the case, you’d likely be immune from the virus for around 3 months (based on other viruses of the same nature). Also, if you do get it again, your body will recognise it and the symptoms won’t be as severe, unless it mutates to a degree where the body doesn’t recognise it, as happens with regular flu.

Completely agree with fridgeboy. The government warning have been getting increasingly stark because the public generally didn't appear to be taking it seriously. I think the penny has dropped for most now but I think the original estimate of 12 weeks probably won't be far off. But if the antibody kits are available sooner than I think we might see 'cleared' people out of isolation after 6-8 weeks. Worth noting Wuhan is beginning to open up after 2 months.
All that said, I can't see football being allowed with crowds in the next 6 months irrespective so if the season completes then it'll be behind closed doors in my opinion.

The season will continue in July. Just because some expert says lockdown 6 months, doesn’t mean it will happen. I reckon they will thrash out all the fixtures to try and get ready for the new season which might be delayed slightly. Footy will resume Sandy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If it did, then you have to ask yourself what will happen to transfer window, to pre-seasons, to playing games in the far flung areas of the world?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfer windows can still happen. We have a transfer window in Jan don’t we ? That’s in the middle of the season. Playing football doesn’t stop a transfer window. Pre season will be scrapped, but the clubs are getting pre season competitive games anyway as they will be playing the season during the pre season. Let’s get back to some sort of normality first by combating this virus which I believe we will do slowly by the summer. Then we can resume the footy which I think will happen. Like I said, late July or august the season will resume.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If its late July/August then finishing this season will impact on the start of next which I don't think will be allowed to happen.
As I've said all along I think the powers that be will prioritise playing the whole of next season over salvaging this one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I offered you a betno bottle, just like your team ha
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When, are you sure it was me?
As I keep saying I don't know why the Liverpool fans on here get so upset when other folk hold the perfectly reasonable opinion that it will be null and void.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's your opinion, I don't think it will happen but you do
Lets have a friendly name change bet on it

Extended indefinitely.
Few things to consider really....
1. Football cannot afford to do nothing for a year. Those thinking the league might restart 1 year on are dreaming. Clubs have £200m wage bills to pay and suddenly zero income. Sky/BT/Sponsors etc have businesses to run.
2. The key will be the ability to test people. Currently it is not possible because there are not enough tests or simple means of testing and the priorities lie elsewhere. No doubt this will change over time
Once people can be effectively tested it will free them up to do things, such as produce Sports coverage. So although there will be a need for probably 100s of people involved in playing a football match behind closed doors, if they can all be tested then this can take place without risk.
I think therefore that once more people can be tested, the new season will start behind closed doors initially with most/all games being televised, perhaps on a pay per view basis.
For this season to be concluded i would think that this whole approach would need to start by the end of april to be able to complete the season....trouble being that will be the peak so unlikley that such events will happen for most of the spring/early summer

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If things drag on in to late summer/autumn, then most important thing to 95% of clubs and businesses associated with football, is running the next season in full. Completing this season could prevent the completion of next season, or unrealistic demands put on players - eg. 10 games of this season immediately followed by 38 games + Cups next season immediately followed by European Championships , compounded by loss of winter breaks, more games per week etc It would be too much.
Where this season is not concluded, declaring it null and void is the only option, mainly based on the teams who would be relegated and the financial impact of this, rather than who is going to win the league (the financial implications of which are much smaller & less profound).
Nobody can say that next season would run in full anyway.

Why not, let me clarify my position.
I think that the whole of next season will not be jeopardised to complete this one. The only way I see this season being played to a finish is if football is so late restarting (Jan 2021 for example) that all they can do realistically is complete this season. Especially as 2021 is now a Euro year.

Can’t just gift them the title. They need to win it, properly. Just finish the season whenever football can restart and the man run straight into the new season. With the correct fixture schedule we could quickly catch up with the calendar.

If the season restarted in August the time taken to complete the league games, cups and play offs would take too much of a chunk out of season 20/21 to recover the time.
Unless the Euros were cancelled/rescheduled again (which won't happen).

Plus players would have to play 10 extra games over a season and then into the Euros, that could be 70 odd games in 10 months, plus World Cup qualifiers .
Next season has to start pretty much on time, with a a reasonable break between this season and next (min. 3 wks).
So if the season started in Sept, this season would have to finish by early august meaning it has to restart by June.

If its late July/August then finishing this season will impact on the start of next which I don't think will be allowed to happen.
As I've said all along I think the powers that be will prioritise playing the whole of next season over salvaging this one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I offered you a betno bottle, just like your team ha
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When, are you sure it was me?
As I keep saying I don't know why the Liverpool fans on here get so upset when other folk hold the perfectly reasonable opinion that it will be null and void.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's your opinion, I don't think it will happen but you do
Lets have a friendly name change bet on it
I mean you seem so convinced so why not
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why not, let me clarify my position.
I think that the whole of next season will not be jeopardised to complete this one. The only way I see this season being played to a finish is if football is so late restarting (Jan 2021 for example) that all they can do realistically is complete this season. Especially as 2021 is now a Euro year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Makes no sense to prioritise a season that has yet to exist and that may not go to plan anyway.
What I don`t get is supporters are just say finish the Prem season. What about the FA Cup, CL and Europa League. Could mean some clubs could have 10 Prem games, six CL games and maybe three FA Cup ties to complete their season. That would mean playing another 19 games.
Just completely unrealistic that any club could play a full season next year of perhaps another 60 plus games including all the cup competitions, and also having to play say 19 games this season to finish that off, and also in all probability over a much shorter period than usual.
Just never going to happen. Something will have to give.
My point is this season will be finished whenever that maybe. It could be finished in August/September this year or next year April/May time. They will not void the league because of all the shiiiiit it will cause up and down the divisions.
You don't think the season will be finished I do, lets confirm the bet and then discuss name change terms
My idea is once this season is finished or the league is voided the name change happens.
Lets say 2 months from that date, happy

Right.
Give Liverpool the title. I don’t care, let them have it as a full no doubt title. Anything to prevent more deaths from this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can’t just gift them the title. They need to win it, properly. Just finish the season whenever football can restart and the man run straight into the new season. With the correct fixture schedule we could quickly catch up with the calendar.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That just isn't true.
If the season restarted in August the time taken to complete the league games, cups and play offs would take too much of a chunk out of season 20/21 to recover the time.
Unless the Euros were cancelled/rescheduled again (which won't happen).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scrap the winter break, have a few extra 3 game weeks... job done.
God forbid professional footballers should have to play more football..
What a clusterfack of a season it has been, firstly VAR ruining football and exposing corruption and bias within the game, then Covid 19 causing an abandonment of sports all around the world.
This is not a year anyone would want to be associated with, stained, tarnished and completely insignificant in these awful times.
Stay safe everyone.

Once you go past June you are raking up all kinds of legal hornets nests, contracts ending, new ones beginning, clubs changing sponsors and kit manufacturers, clubs changing staff etc etc etc, which is why the idea of finishing a season in Aug or Sept is complete and utter nonsense.
This season became meaningless long ago, dragging it on into next season would be absolute lunacy and only even considered to satisfy a handful of desperate clubs.

Why are people still so desperate for the current season to finish, unfortunately with all the variables and inconsistencies etc now at work, this season is just about as insignificant and meaningless as it can be.
With everything that has gone on, the season could never be completed and considered a legitimate season, it has been stained irretrievably. It is just desperation from anybody that argues otherwise.
It is harsh on certain clubs, but this season is dead, and should be declared as such. Finishing a stop start season after being suspended for months etc is just absolute nonsense.
(before Don pipes up with his agenda, this is not a anti Liverpool notion, but rather one of basic common sense).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m not desperate for the season to finish. If anything from a selfish Spurs point of view, I don’t particularly want it to re start as would probably mean Spurs keep our CL place from last season if it were to get cancelled, but it won’t because the season will get finished. The question is, why are you and Sandy so vocal on the season to be void ? Pretty obvious, it’s because you both are desperate for Liverpool to not win the title and that’s the truth and you both know it mateyou both won’t be convincing me otherwise
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, you just can`t see the bigger picture and ramifications of everything. Try applying some common sense to the whole situation. It would be completely unfair if teams were relegated or promoted under these circumstances, the season is compromised irretrievably.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is it compromised mate ? Liverpool were smashing the league anyway. We are just delaying the inevitable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don this has been done to death a thousand times, there are endless reasons why the season is compromised, if you can`t see why then you are beyond help bud.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not compromised though mate. If the season re starts, then we pick off where we let off. Every club is in the same boat in regards to fitness, so it’s not like Spurs will be at an advantage. If Liverpool win the league, they win it fair and square mate and deservedly so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don, Spurs will have gained an unfair advantage, we were going nowhere with all our injuries, now these players will be back fit, it is the same for clubs up and down the country in all leagues. Clubs with momentum lose it, other clubs have a chance to regroup, etc etc etc, I could be here all day. In no way can this season be completed fairly and without compromise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that’s just the nature of the beast mate. No one could of predicted this mess. When the footy resumes, Liverpool deservedly will win the title and nothing will change that. You can spout compromised all you want mate, Liverpool will win the title.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They may well do, but this season will forever have an asterisk against it, which will be a stick for rival fans to beat them with for years to come. You do have an unhealthy interest in Pool Don, is your GF a dipper by any chance?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Even if we had lost the remainder of our games the likelihood is we'd have won it. It's not a stick to beat us with at all.

Haven't had the time to read through all of the comments so apologies if this has already been mentioned but the government's line of "things won't be return to normal for up to 6 months" doesn't mean a total lockdown for that time. It means social distancing, partial lockdowns, vigilant gatherings. To put it simply this country, nor any other, could copy with a 6 month shutdown economically. The government will definitely lift sanctions sooner than you think to keep the cogs turning. I think they'll fast-track the antibody test so that those who've already had it can return to work safely in the knowledge they'll be immune for a couple of months at least.
It's easy to be downbeat but there's so much we don't know about this disease yet or how far away a potential vaccine is. It could be quicker than the predicted 18 months when you consider every country in the world is working on this. The next few weeks will tell us a lot. We'll see what happens when sanctions are lifted in China, Italy and Spain. Does it return with same power or is its rapid infection rate meaning 'herd immunity' is begin to develop?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What I don't get is you could be tested, results come back OK, off to work you go, but what is to stop you catching it, the day after you thought you were tested ok.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s impossible. The only way you’d be tested and approved to go back to work is if you have the antibodies having already had it. If that is the case, you’d likely be immune from the virus for around 3 months (based on other viruses of the same nature). Also, if you do get it again, your body will recognise it and the symptoms won’t be as severe, unless it mutates to a degree where the body doesn’t recognise it, as happens with regular flu.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Completely agree with fridgeboy. The government warning have been getting increasingly stark because the public generally didn't appear to be taking it seriously. I think the penny has dropped for most now but I think the original estimate of 12 weeks probably won't be far off. But if the antibody kits are available sooner than I think we might see 'cleared' people out of isolation after 6-8 weeks. Worth noting Wuhan is beginning to open up after 2 months.
All that said, I can't see football being allowed with crowds in the next 6 months irrespective so if the season completes then it'll be behind closed doors in my opinion.

The season will continue in July. Just because some expert says lockdown 6 months, doesn’t mean it will happen. I reckon they will thrash out all the fixtures to try and get ready for the new season which might be delayed slightly. Footy will resume Sandy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If it did, then you have to ask yourself what will happen to transfer window, to pre-seasons, to playing games in the far flung areas of the world?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfer windows can still happen. We have a transfer window in Jan don’t we ? That’s in the middle of the season. Playing football doesn’t stop a transfer window. Pre season will be scrapped, but the clubs are getting pre season competitive games anyway as they will be playing the season during the pre season. Let’s get back to some sort of normality first by combating this virus which I believe we will do slowly by the summer. Then we can resume the footy which I think will happen. Like I said, late July or august the season will resume.

Few things to consider really....
1. Football cannot afford to do nothing for a year. Those thinking the league might restart 1 year on are dreaming. Clubs have £200m wage bills to pay and suddenly zero income. Sky/BT/Sponsors etc have businesses to run.
2. The key will be the ability to test people. Currently it is not possible because there are not enough tests or simple means of testing and the priorities lie elsewhere. No doubt this will change over time
Once people can be effectively tested it will free them up to do things, such as produce Sports coverage. So although there will be a need for probably 100s of people involved in playing a football match behind closed doors, if they can all be tested then this can take place without risk.
I think therefore that once more people can be tested, the new season will start behind closed doors initially with most/all games being televised, perhaps on a pay per view basis.
For this season to be concluded i would think that this whole approach would need to start by the end of april to be able to complete the season....trouble being that will be the peak so unlikley that such events will happen for most of the spring/early summer

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If things drag on in to late summer/autumn, then most important thing to 95% of clubs and businesses associated with football, is running the next season in full. Completing this season could prevent the completion of next season, or unrealistic demands put on players - eg. 10 games of this season immediately followed by 38 games + Cups next season immediately followed by European Championships , compounded by loss of winter breaks, more games per week etc It would be too much.
Where this season is not concluded, declaring it null and void is the only option, mainly based on the teams who would be relegated and the financial impact of this, rather than who is going to win the league (the financial implications of which are much smaller & less profound).

Why not, let me clarify my position.
I think that the whole of next season will not be jeopardised to complete this one. The only way I see this season being played to a finish is if football is so late restarting (Jan 2021 for example) that all they can do realistically is complete this season. Especially as 2021 is now a Euro year.

If anything from a selfish Spurs point of view, I don’t particularly want it to re start as would probably mean Spurs keep our CL place from last season if it were to get cancelled, but it won’t because the season will get finished. The question is, why are you and Sandy so vocal on the season to be void ? Pretty obvious, it’s because you both are desperate for Liverpool to not win the title and that’s the truth and you both know it mateyou both won’t be convincing me otherwise
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, you just can`t see the bigger picture and ramifications of everything. Try applying some common sense to the whole situation. It would be completely unfair if teams were relegated or promoted under these circumstances, the season is compromised irretrievably.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is it compromised mate ? Liverpool were smashing the league anyway. We are just delaying the inevitable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don this has been done to death a thousand times, there are endless reasons why the season is compromised, if you can`t see why then you are beyond help bud.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not compromised though mate. If the season re starts, then we pick off where we let off. Every club is in the same boat in regards to fitness, so it’s not like Spurs will be at an advantage. If Liverpool win the league, they win it fair and square mate and deservedly so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don, Spurs will have gained an unfair advantage, we were going nowhere with all our injuries, now these players will be back fit, it is the same for clubs up and down the country in all leagues. Clubs with momentum lose it, other clubs have a chance to regroup, etc etc etc, I could be here all day. In no way can this season be completed fairly and without compromise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that’s just the nature of the beast mate. No one could of predicted this mess. When the footy resumes, Liverpool deservedly will win the title and nothing will change that. You can spout compromised all you want mate, Liverpool will win the title.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They may well do, but this season will forever have an asterisk against it, which will be a stick for rival fans to beat them with for years to come. You do have an unhealthy interest in Pool Don, is your GF a dipper by any chance?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
An asterisk
We are 25 points clear. Our closest 'challengers' are closer to 14th place in terms of points.

Right.
Give Liverpool the title. I don’t care, let them have it as a full no doubt title. Anything to prevent more deaths from this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can’t just gift them the title. They need to win it, properly. Just finish the season whenever football can restart and the man run straight into the new season. With the correct fixture schedule we could quickly catch up with the calendar.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That just isn't true.
If the season restarted in August the time taken to complete the league games, cups and play offs would take too much of a chunk out of season 20/21 to recover the time.
Unless the Euros were cancelled/rescheduled again (which won't happen).

It can be the Ghost Title. It can be their thing, people will talk about it for years. The year they won it by a mile but never really won it.

Plus players would have to play 10 extra games over a season and then into the Euros, that could be 70 odd games in 10 months, plus World Cup qualifiers .
Next season has to start pretty much on time, with a a reasonable break between this season and next (min. 3 wks).
So if the season started in Sept, this season would have to finish by early august meaning it has to restart by June.

The season will continue in July. Just because some expert says lockdown 6 months, doesn’t mean it will happen. I reckon they will thrash out all the fixtures to try and get ready for the new season which might be delayed slightly. Footy will resume Sandy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If it did, then you have to ask yourself what will happen to transfer window, to pre-seasons, to playing games in the far flung areas of the world?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfer windows can still happen. We have a transfer window in Jan don’t we ? That’s in the middle of the season. Playing football doesn’t stop a transfer window. Pre season will be scrapped, but the clubs are getting pre season competitive games anyway as they will be playing the season during the pre season. Let’s get back to some sort of normality first by combating this virus which I believe we will do slowly by the summer. Then we can resume the footy which I think will happen. Like I said, late July or august the season will resume.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If its late July/August then finishing this season will impact on the start of next which I don't think will be allowed to happen.
As I've said all along I think the powers that be will prioritise playing the whole of next season over salvaging this one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I offered you a betno bottle, just like your team ha
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When, are you sure it was me?
As I keep saying I don't know why the Liverpool fans on here get so upset when other folk hold the perfectly reasonable opinion that it will be null and void.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's your opinion, I don't think it will happen but you do
Lets have a friendly name change bet on it
I mean you seem so convinced so why not
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why not, let me clarify my position.
I think that the whole of next season will not be jeopardised to complete this one. The only way I see this season being played to a finish is if football is so late restarting (Jan 2021 for example) that all they can do realistically is complete this season. Especially as 2021 is now a Euro year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Makes no sense to prioritise a season that has yet to exist and that may not go to plan anyway.

What I don`t get is supporters are just say finish the Prem season. What about the FA Cup, CL and Europa League. Could mean some clubs could have 10 Prem games, six CL games and maybe three FA Cup ties to complete their season. That would mean playing another 19 games.
Just completely unrealistic that any club could play a full season next year of perhaps another 60 plus games including all the cup competitions, and also having to play say 19 games this season to finish that off, and also in all probability over a much shorter period than usual.
Just never going to happen. Something will have to give.

My point is this season will be finished whenever that maybe. It could be finished in August/September this year or next year April/May time. They will not void the league because of all the shiiiiit it will cause up and down the divisions.
You don't think the season will be finished I do, lets confirm the bet and then discuss name change terms
My idea is once this season is finished or the league is voided the name change happens.
Lets say 2 months from that date, happy

Scrap the winter break, have a few extra 3 game weeks... job done.
God forbid professional footballers should have to play more football..

What a clusterfack of a season it has been, firstly VAR ruining football and exposing corruption and bias within the game, then Covid 19 causing an abandonment of sports all around the world.
This is not a year anyone would want to be associated with, stained, tarnished and completely insignificant in these awful times.
Stay safe everyone.

Once you go past June you are raking up all kinds of legal hornets nests, contracts ending, new ones beginning, clubs changing sponsors and kit manufacturers, clubs changing staff etc etc etc, which is why the idea of finishing a season in Aug or Sept is complete and utter nonsense.
This season became meaningless long ago, dragging it on into next season would be absolute lunacy and only even considered to satisfy a handful of desperate clubs.
