Why not postpone the resumption of the season to say August / Septemeber if as looks likely. Then complete thIs season before 31/12/20 and then start a new season in early January (2020/21)where everybody plays each other once with an equal number of home and away matches. Who plays who at home drawn by lot and season to end by mid May as usual. No FA Cup or LC. Thgen back to normal for 2021 / 22 - I hope!

I suggested this a couple of weeks ago and still feel it is a logical approach.

purely hypothetical, but if this season is finally written off, and teams stay in the same leagues, we will be playing Brentford again 'next' season.
Surely building work on their new football ground isn't essential, and therefore it's unlikely it will be finished in time for the 'next' season to begin?
Do we get one last chance to go down there and watch Stoke on terraces again?
I hope so anyway

I think they'll want next season to be completely intact for all kinds of reasons and commitments, which is why I think that if this season can't be finished in time for a little break before the next one starts then they'll just scrap it. Nobody goes up or down (unlucky for some, great for others) and they go again.

They talk about maintaining integrity, I’d say losing one season to an unforeseen event is ok but making the decision to screw a future season doesn’t maintain integrity at all.

as harsh as it would be on Liverpool, West Brom, Leeds and a let off for Norwich, Bournemouth etc. I really cannot see this season being completed and if that’s the case all games must be null and void

I’ve worked it out that if we played every other midweek next season(Play one, miss one) then next season could start mid October and still finish in May in time for the Euros. Meaning for this season to finish on the same basis and still have a month off afterwards it could resume as late as 08th August. Is that logical or would it be classed as too heavy a work load? Seems quite plausible to me.

Seems quite plausible to me. To heavy a work load. The quality of next season and the euros will be affected due to squeezing this league in. Plus more injuries to players due to lack of rest. think they have to bite the bullet nd end this season. Liverpool champs. Top 3 in other leagues promoted. And no relegation.

What many people are forgetting is that whatever happens here is going to have to be replicated throughout Europe. UEFA are going to have to sort this mess out.
Belgium have declared their Champions. What if other leagues void their seasons? Others resume theirs? It's a logistical nightmare and I've got no idea how they are all going to sort it out.

My idea, which is undoubtedly shit for some reason, is to bin this season and everyone starts next season on the points they are on now.
For Champions League slots you go with the same teams that qualified for this season.

I really don’t understand the clamour to abandon this season ....other than those with an anti Liverpool , Leeds mentality
Take away any litigation from clubs , owners , sponsors , players and god forbid fans , together with issues of promotion , relegation and prize money , then European and domestic cup qualification and player contracts all to be resolved
Nobody’s has a scooby when the next season would start and if it does in what format ..attended or behind closed doors
Attended games ( mass gatherings ) can surely only commence when
1) More is known about the virus 2) Reinfection rates are known 3 ) The length of immunity if anti bodies is known 4 ) The NHS isn't further pressurised ( preventing normal operation back log to build still further ) 5 ) Effective cures are found ( at present there is none ) 6 ) A vaccine is widely available ( with certification similar , but more secure than yellow fever currently ) 7) Testing freely available ( perhaps for a fee ) 8 ) Results of test almost instant 9) Borders open ( under the above conditions) and domestic and foreign travel resumed
Anything less than the above , (and I’m sure there’s many more conditions needed to be fulfilled) ..then any thought of starting a new season is as pie in the sky as thinking it’d be safe to hold or attend a game tomorrow with mass attendance

Then you go and give 9 reasons why it would make perfect sense to do just that.

Squeester
I believe the games administrators will endeavour to possibly finish this season behind closed doors ( god knows when, as it’s the 19/20 season presumably by December ) then moth ball the game ffor 12-18 months minimum ...anything short of that timescale will be a miracle ( certainly with crowds ) ..playing a full season behind closed doors would kill the game as a spectator sport
So I merely question why some see any new season , ( with crowds ) going ahead anytime soon , it won’t and when people realise the new season ain’t happening any time soon , then by default there’s no rush or need to give up on this one

Yep and I think at this stage, that's probably the most likely outcome.

I didn’t care if Liverpool won the league or not but after furloughed their non playing staff I hope the season gets voided
Danny Murphy on talk sport was disgusted with them. The general consensus was that major premier league football teams (and oTher blue chip companies) should not be furloughing people.
Footballers earn obscene amounts of money. Even with paying half to the taxman they still earn obscene amounts of money they are getting made scapegoats by politicians etc compared to other high earners in sport business and entertainment maybe shamed into taking cuts
The furlough system was not for high profit companies to subsidise staff costs but to help business in need. Liverpool and other clubs don’t need it.

Problem with that is there will proably be 20-30 clubs that don't exist by then. Not saying that is a reason to start earlier if it is a public healrh risk - but it would mske a mockery of it as a competition.
