Whatever happens the end result won’t benefit us. Of that I have no doubt.

Christ, if that were the case we'd be lucky to avoid relegation with our track recordAll fixtures decided at Wembley on penalties. You could finish the season over a weekend.
But we aren’t a business. We’re different. We can survive infinitely without income. Nobody supports British Airways.Please stop with this hyperbolic virtuous nonsense.
We all completely understand (well the vast majority of us) the gravity and horrible seriousness of this virus. But football does matter. It matters not just for the cultural and social reasons, which form part of the fabric of millions of people's lives, but it also matters enormously like any huge industry matters, that employs millions of people, and generates billions of bounds in revenue for local areas up and down the country and the government as an industry.
Not resuming the current season could mean the industry loses over a billion pounds, that could mean job losses, it already is meaning job losses, that means lives affected adversely, that means the economy damaged even more than it is, which in turn mean lives made harder for ordinary people, because not only are the out of work but when the economy tanks, public services get cut - like the NHS etc.
Of course the priority is doing what's right to save lives and to manage the health crisis. But there are very valid reasons why the PL clubs would potentially like to find a way to finish out the season if safely possible.
It was neither hyperbole or virtuous .... in fact a reasonable assessment of where we arePlease stop with this hyperbolic virtuous nonsense.

you can’t win all the time .... the football industry and namely the premier league has had a meteoric rise in value .
nothing goes up in a straight line and you have to take your losses wipe your mouth of it and plan ahead
if they’re smart they’ll concentrate on ways of getting fans into grounds as safely as is possible etc so they still have a product to sell
trying to save this season is a bust
Again in the scheme of things a billion really is chump changeI disagree it's a bust, or that it really doesn't matter (as per the post I responded to). It matters like any any huge industry that employs hundreds of thousands, and brings in billions in revenues.
There is possibly around a billion at stake if it doesn't complete the season. If that is the case, I understand why clubs will explore every possible avenue to complete it.
Sure that 28% would plummet minus all the rank self-interest from the dippersFinal results of the BBC poll.
What should happen to Premier League season?
A festival of football and average points are among the suggestions for getting the Premier League season finished - BBC pundits explore the options.www.bbc.co.uk
I would say City's league cup will still stand (at least it should) as that was concluded. Everything else would and should be expunged I feel.If the season was voided (which I think it should be) and re-set as was last year, would that mean all goal scoring records would be wiped, all results, even City's League Cup? Or would they still stand?
