If the season isn’t completed........(Now with Poll)

[SpiderSpurs]

The Belgian Pro League board has proposed the immediate conclusion of the country's football season, per
@HLN_BE
. It would make Belgium the first European country to officially end its top-flight season, and crown Club Brugge champions.

I didn't like the look of this at first, but then saw that Brugge were 15 points clear with one game (?) left to be played - so fair enough to them winning it.

Goddamn I want a domino effect of leagues getting ended now...

How will they decide the euro spots I wonder? They normally have play offs...

Coronavirus: Belgian league backs early end to season, Club Brugge would be awarded title

Club Brugge could be crowned Belgian champions early after the Jupiler Pro Leagues board of directors recommended the season should be ended early because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Nobody cares what the Belgian League does. The four major leagues will probably agree to the same thing, which is probably voiding it.

I think Uefa can make things a lot easier if they just agree that everyone who qualified for the last Champions League plays the next one, and allows the major leagues to nominate one team that looked likely to qualify a place in the play offs. Leicester the the PL, Lazio for Serie A etc.

Bein sports and canal+ have refused to pay the next installment of TV money due to the french league, apparently due to a lack of clarity as to when the league will restart

Have the PL clubs had all their money? If not, I can see something like this happening and if it does, it will bring things to a head much more quickly I suspect.

What would you do for EL places?

Not sure if it's mentioned here but I just noticed if you are a BT customer you can apply for a credit for BT Sport 'Goodwill' which means you don't pay for a month. Alternatively you can donate it to the NHS.

The same, Woolwich, Man Utd and Wolves again with Sheffield United also given a place.

I think negotiations with sky and bt are probably ongoing as to what happens if the season has to be voided

hmmmmm

What would you do for EL places?

Could use co-efficient rankings for both competitions. Bit unfair on Wolves/Sheffield Utd but fuck it, least we’d qualify for the CL.

Hardly in the spirit of the game though, no?

That’s exactly what Man City, chavs, PSG, Madrid & Barcelona say all the tme.

As usual you miss the point.

Perhaps stick to posting pervy pics...

Difficult to not see a post unless the idiot is on ignore.

I've fixed that now for a couple of weeks or so...

Players should take pay cut - Hancock

The "first thing" Premier League footballers can do is "take a pay cut and play their part" to help out during the coronavirus pandemic, says health secretary Matt Hancock.

www.bbc.co.uk

Not that I care but as I said yesterday, Premier League players are going to come out of this in a very bad light.

This virus will have all manner of long term consequences and at present, none reflect well on the PL.

 

[El Noel]

The way these tossers are carrying on I’m in the mindset of making football null and void. Fuck them all.

Playing the league in China would be pretty hilarious.

South Korea looks safer. And where we would have the home team advantage.

Yeah. Having seemingly passed their own peak, I can just imagine the chinese government happily welcoming loads of people based in a country whose government reacted,initially, by saying, testing? No point in that, and said country still six weeks from it's own peak.

Might as well invite Donald "it's all a Chinese Hoax" Trump to hand the trophy over...
