The only thing that would strip the premier league of credibility would be not finishing the current season.

Liverpool deserve the title.
Leicester deserve CL.
Chelsea, United, Wolves and Sheffield deserve a shot at CL

But most of all, given that it’s probably the most competitive professional league in Europe, teams at the top of the Championship deserve their chance to escape it this year without having to replay an entire season.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do the teams that are only two points a head of spurs or 3 above arsenal get mentioned and not those two?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Because if they void the season then Spurs will default to CL...

And Arsenal are toilet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Arsenal still had a good chance as any mentioned.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fine, throw the bottlers into the mix if that’ll make you happy,

Playing games while hundreds of people are dying per day in a pandemic would be worse. Getting the players and staff tested before health workers would be far worse.

You only have to look at the PR disaster of clubsb furloughing staff to see what public opinion would be if they went ahead too soon. There are no easy or obvious solutions to this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing safe behind closed doors football matches has nothing to do with people dying. In fact, people could use the distraction.

Clubs could use their own medical teams to test people. They have the resources at their disposal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If they can do that, then let's use that facility to test those on the front line who really need it. Spurs are doing hat already but can only get through 70 a day which would need to be a lot higher of we were to really make a difference.

Deserve has fack all to do with it, nothing is decided yet.

Devon Loch deserved to win the 1956 Grand National, but fell in final few yards when several lengths clear. It won nothing.

As a Spurs fan, I genuinely feel that IF the season was voided then it would be completely unfair for Spurs to gain a CL place. I'd be totally against it and would actively voice it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Totally agree, it would totally unfair. The fairest solution would be to have no European competitions next season.

spurs fans and they have Jose as manager

No wonder they want the season finished

That’s like saying Man City deserve the title this season because they were league leaders after GW1...

Nothing to do with people dying?? Christ. You need a reality check. It's all most people are worried about.

Again, safe by what definition? And when?

The issue is that there are a limited number of tests. While you might be right - clubs could afford to do it privately - the public won't like it if nurses aren't able to get a test while a footballer can. You can argue that all you like, but it's a PR disaster waiting to happen. Besides, as I understand it, a lot of clubs have turned over their medical staff to help with the Covid effort.

“ Totally agree, it would totally unfair. The fairest solution would be to have no European competitions next season.”

Do you not think clubs will need revenue from European football more than ever?

You can smell the agenda on some of these Spurs fans.

Which is?

Please debate the points made rather than attacking the people making them.

Ps I don't "want" the season finished. But in think it's definitely an option. But then again, I think no options on the table are ideal. They all have negatives.

In the context of finishing the season safely behind closed doors with players that have been tested and are COVID-free, it’s completely irrelevant.

I’d also challenge your claim that most people are worried about dying. I haven’t spoken to a soul since the outbreak that has expressed any such concern, whether that be clients, colleagues, neighbours, friends or family.

Lucky you. My mother in law has not left her house since this all started. She had cancer years ago and had her spleen removed as a result. This means she has an extremely weak immune system. I can tell you now, she is worried for her life.

I said they're worried about people dying. If they're not they're psychopaths.

The tests should go to health workers and the vulnerable before sports players or celebrities. I'd rather my elderly relatives feel safe and secure to go out again, and NHS staff feel safe going to work, than watch weird games of football with empty stadiums.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I doubt the likes of Man United, Chelsea, Pool or whoever will be struggling financially, do you? They can easily ride a season without Europe, it is the smaller clubs that are in danger.

I do think there is a fair argument to say that football returning would give alot of people that much needed interest to follow. I do think it's a valid point, but it cannot be prioritised ahead of those who really need the testing and everything else that comes with it coming back.

Agreed. It's human instinct to hang out in our tribes too. I do get the urge to get things back to normal, this whole thing sucks. But we can't put vulnerable people's welfare, and possibly lives, ahead of a game.

A question for the scousers when you win the league behind closed doors do you think they’ll be a huge turnout on the streets of Liverpool celebrating or will everyone stay in doors?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn’t see a answer for this ^

Surely it depends when the season is finished?

Make no mistake, this season will be finished and if that’s post-lockdown/social distancing then the party will be huge.

What’s that got to do with finishing the league behind closed doors once players are able to be tested?

But that means there would be no need to be played behind closed doors.

My question was based on playing behind closed doors

I reckon it’ll be nuts regardless. Once in a generation thing.
