Even if they are awarded it, its tainted.......
Yeah it’s tainted alright, tainted for the rest of the teams who allowed Liverpool to stroll 20+ Point lead on the ladder in the month of Febrauary:blush:

There is a push from all the big leagues in Europe to cancel/ reshedule the euro2020 and extend the domestic competitions so that the be completed.
This is a realistic possibility including playing remaining matches in closed stadiums.

My guess is the leagues will be completed and ladders ratified one way or another.

All jokes aside mate, this is a distinct possibility.

The only way they can not rule it out that way, is if they individualize all for winning places, including relegation and demotion. Which would not be very fair, especially considering not everyone is on an even keel in terms of games played.

If you:

  • Award Liverpool the title, but freeze all other positions. That will affect the financial position of 1st and 2nd place of the Championship, who 6 and 7 points clear of the chasing pack. It also means the teams that are in relegation are going to greatly benefit from a financial perspective, because they are competing in a financially better league next season, when they shouldn't have
  • Champions league - many possibilities mooted. Hold the same 4 from this year? Leicester miss out. Hold the current top 4? You have a chasing pack who are legitimately in better form than some in there. Whatever you do here, it does not hold up in terms of fairness.
  • Relegation and Promotion. We have 2 teams definitely deserving of promotion. We have multiple teams struggling. You cant snapshot the season and say "we will put a marker down, and if you're in the bottom 3, you're out" - because, for example Aston Villa are 19th - but have a game in hand. With that game in hand, they could be out of relegation.
Bottom line here - a 1 rule fits all approach means someone misses out. If this virus continues, I don't think they have a choice but to void the season.

HOWEVER - if the virus continues - what they may do is play at least 3 rounds behind close doors. The EPL will be hoping Liverpool secure 2 wins in those rounds, and at least that part is settled.

What they then may do is extended playoff formats for the other elements to be decided (CL, Europa, promotion and relegation).
UEFA has recommended that all leagues finish it now and award the teams coming first with the title. There's no way it can continue (the football that is) so something has to be done.

That’s because the dickheads want euro2020 to go ahead and have asked to be compensated $300 million euros for them to cancel it.

In England the Premier league winner is known now, what’s still up for grabs are European spots, promotion/ relegation spots.

Euros will now be played in 2021 to allow leagues time to finish.

And that’s what everyone wants, for all the leagues in Europe to be completed , with or without fans in the stands.

Nah just enjoying Liverpool’s misfortunes ...
Worst case scenario Liverpool lift the trophy in an empty stadium in front of zero fans, no parade, no party at the pubs
Nothing, it will feel as hollow as a ghost for them and the fans
Couldn’t of happened to nicer pricks lol

Love it! LOVE IT! Remember the days of holding onto the past as if it were some sign of relevance to the present. Enjoy your history mate. We're making our own ;)

Apparently we are in the market for a central defender. He will be replacing Lovren ( good riddance) .

Werner is very close also. Its either us or Bayern that he will sign for.
