So if it was this or Void you'd choose void?

If it was this or play a month behind closed doors or wait until 2021, you wouldn't choose this?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Correct. I'd choose void. This would be last on the list of the options.

Play behind closed doors when safe
Wait until it's safe for mass gatherings then restart season
Void season
Turn the league into a different competition, a knockout competition

In that order.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would bring excitement back! People don't care about this season anymore
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well yes - that's because it's a foregone conclusion due to Liverpool being 25 points clear. You can't just decide to bring the other teams back in because people don't care anymore
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would bring interest and excitement back in. You're acting as if Liverpool losing is a sure thing. Why would they lose? They're 25 points clear. They should be overwhelming favourites.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Their chances of winning a title would go from being dead certs to joint slight favourites, in my opinion. So yeah it would be an utterly stupid idea, but fun to see I agree.

If this happens then we would have a bye to the final and a 4-0 head start.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why? The whole point is that 1st plays 8th to get the (theoretically) easiest chance to reach the semis and then 1st plays the winner of 4th vs 5th again to avoid the 2nd place team if possible until the final.

If Liverpool lose to 4th, 5th or 8th, and don't reach the final, that's their own fault.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmmm?

Are you scared that Liverpool might lose perhaps?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well no because your ridiculous idea will never happen.

But in any match, anything can happen. Look what happened when we played Watford for example. So yeah, asking a team 25 points clear and with no competition to suddenly have competition through no fault of their own won't work
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If it was this or void the season which would you choose?

What if it was possible to play this over two weeks in controlled conditions over July and then start the new season slightly delayed after a couple of months vs. delay until october and november and then resume this current season and totally furrrk over next season.

Which would be better?

There should be playoffs for the bottom sides, but not the title.

Id relegate Norwich, pardon Brighton, and play 16th v 19th and 17th v 18th. Home and away, losing 2 teams join Norwich and go down.

So Spurs in 8th place after a terrible season would have a genuine shot at winning the title?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You have the least shot because you're playing the team in 1st in the first round

See, it's fair.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would we even be involved when we can't mathematically win the title at the moment?

It's not that bad a solution. It would be quick, it would be exciting and it would resolve all the current issue of the Title, CL qualification and Relegation (I don't know why you're so fixated on the title solely)

Read the aritcle. the playoffs are for CL qualification not just the title

The world doesn't revolved around Liverpool and their PL title, as much as some people seem to think it does.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason people keep pointing to the title is because Liverpool are 25 points clear! It's a foregone conclusion. If Liverpool lost every game, which isn't going to happen, they'd likely still win the title.

Does seem like the only legitimate and fair way of concluding the league. You've outdone yourself here Wahl

posted on 16/4/20

Give me another solution that:

Could conceivably be quick enough to not disrupt the start of next season.
Would be entertaining for the fans
Would resolve the CL qualification issues and relegation issues along with the title at the same time.

I'll wait.

Yes. Disrupt? Nothing will not disrupt next season, at this stage.

Will it be quick enough to finish the season, with all games played, with a fair outcome and finish next season with all games played with a fair outcome? Yes. Which is why they went with this option.

Why not just have separate play offs for CL qualification only? We shouldn't be allowed to compete for a title.

Because it's more exciting if 8 pretty good teams are competing for the title rather than 2.

What would be awesome is you know finishing the league the way like we do every season.

Over a 38 game period in front of thousands of fans.

If we have to wait 6 months to do so then do be it
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This would be the fairest way of doing things.

Sadly I reckon there's not much chance of it happening.

Take City out as well as they’re banned from Europe.

Don’t see why we should have a 25 point lead eradicated and start off level with 7 other teams.
