? FA say they won’t allow no relegation or no voiding the season. Going to be PPG, the worst result for us?
Placing does not matter much right now, to be honest. There cant be European football next season anyway. It just is not prudent.

It really is not up to them.Doubt the money men at uefa with their £2 billion in cash reserves waiting to be added to will concur!
However I still believe that any football with supporters in the ground is wrong.
Don't be daft. I'm saying void this season and prepare for next season in August, when there's less risk in terms of managing the rate of infection.
We know it can't stay like this for months on end as Clubs won't survive but June is too early and there's no fix in terms of integrity either.
Bin this season, prepare for next, and the government help out the absolute desperate clubs in the interim.
The money men won't like that but it makes emminent more sense in terms of safety imo.
Premier League clubs face at least £300m bill to broadcasters
The Premier League’s clubs are set to lose between £300m and £350m in broadcast revenues even if they find a way to finish the seasonwww.theguardian.com
Why do you keep comparing it to other businesses?
Ffs, people down at the local hardware store arn't running around a football pitch tackling the fuck out of each other.
It's in no way a comparable environment.
Players are going to strike. Been saying it for weeks.
good job the nurses haven’t gone on strike isn’t it Danny.
maybe furlough him and see how he gets on
It continues to be said and it's starting to grate me now.I vehemently disagree with playing football behind closed doors. However if you isolate all players for a week as in Germany, remove all positive players from the first round of testing, re test again, remove more positive players then isolate the rest of the players from the rest of society for the rest of the season (along with the officials, physios, etc.) that will probably work. You won't then need to worry about socially distancing during matches and the players would be at less risk than the general public.

Yep. Same here in Portugal.Every single league below the National League (conference) had their season completely voided, all the way down to grass roots and kids on a Saturday/Sunday (I’m still pissed off at my lad not getting to play the county cup final).
Money is the ONLY reason there remains talk of seeing this season through to a finish in the PL.
If it wasn’t about money - and Liverpool winning the league - then they’d have scrapped the season a month ago along with everyone else.
It continues to be said and it's starting to grate me now.
Why do people assume isolating physios, coaches and staff and keeping them away from their families is fine?
I work in football and live in another country and it's prevented me from coming back to the UK to see my family and I can honestly say f**k football starting before I get to see them again!
Not too mention staff such as catering, security, cleaning staff, etc.
Should they all isolate and spend time away from family too??
What the f*** is wrong with people?!
No, and people down at the local hardware or supermarkets, you, and them in all likelihood have fuck all clue if they are carrying anything and they don't obey social distancing, and are bumping into you.
It is not like any other business, these people will be under much stricter controls, and it will be much safer for them albeit in full contact sport, than going to your local store, they will be in contact only with people that have passed numerous tests and in totally sterilized conditions.
