jeep Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 52 minutes ago, Traf said: Football isn't coming back any time soon. There's no need to void/abandon leagues without a definitive resumption date. Once the FA have a date for PL & EFL to resume, then non-league should also just pick up where they left off and then a new calendar can be set out. The PL is set to close for 2 months at the end of 2022 for the WC anyway, and many EFL games will get postponed too. It might take a while to get the program back in sync, but to void a season isn't the right way forward. Correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 13 hours ago, radcliffewhite1 said: Just reading there will be lawyers from various clubs ready to kick off if void big can of worms Not sure what lawyers can do when it’s effectively an act of god event As has been said, let’s wait and see when clubs can start to re open training and even prepare for a football match. If it’s July / August then it would make sense to void and go again, just cancel the cups as next season likely to be impacted by a second wave of Virus in the Winter I fear however that it’s going to be well into 2021 that we see competitive football. In which case you can make an argument for finishing this season, have the Euros in June 21, ore season then go again in August 21 A long old time for Wanderers to go without having anything to play for Something will have to give soon with clubs, surely players need to start taking some massive pay reductions across the board to help the sports survival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating a huge huge operation to cater for sport while chaos rages everywhere else.

Marc505 Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 It reads like it's one step away from the Premier League suggesting they get all the squads together in a facility, infect the lot of them with the virus, let them see it out then start the league.
