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

[walter]

Course they're going to be more in favour of playing games at neutral venues if relegation is removed this season!

FFS the desperation just gets more and more embarrassing..........if relegation is removed this year, do we really think the bottom 12 or so teams are really going to give a toss and put up much of a fight?

This is by far the most ridiculous idea by a long shot - it's basically a blatant bribe as the powers that be know that they stand no chance of getting the gravy train restarted without all 20 clubs consent .

They surely can't be entertaining this in all seriousness - well not with straight face at least - it's farcical.

Restarting the season without relegation is the worst of both worlds. Not only will Liverpool win the league , West Ham won't go down!

We go through the pain of building a new state of the art stadium, that gives us one of the highest match day revenues in world football, seems to be an absolute license to print money that's going to propel us to the big time, 65k packed out every game, selling out of fucking sausage rolls and beer, revenue from a bundle of major sporting events.....and suddenly stadiums are rendered totally fucking irrelevant for the first time in history.

I'm not going to use that word.....but fuck me...the balls on that irony.

Let's just roll all the insane, desperate ideas into one I say:

All 20 clubs jet off to Perth for two months, neutral grounds, no fans, games last 30 mins each half, 5 subs allowed, no relegation. Simple and the integrity of the league is maintained.

 

[OffTheBench]

Watford have followed Brighton and Aston Villa in publicly opposing the use of neutral venues in the Premier League's proposed Project Restart plan.

Watford oppose neutral venue proposals

Watford become the third team to publicly oppose the use of neutral venues when Premier League football returns.

All 3 will be worried about losing home advantage and getting relegated. Fair enough.

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Anyone at risk of relegation will vote not to restart, for whatever reason they can. If the season ends unfinished then no one can be relegated. Simple as that.

TBF, apart from Liverpool, who else wouldn't mind the season being scrubbed?

 

[thinktank]

They need to call this now.

The scrambling - in vain - to desperately cobble together something vaguely resembling league football to force through the season's completion has been excruciating to watch and thoroughly cringe.

The virus won.

Face reality.

 

[Tomo]

Should be either void or everyone made to finish in say August which means next season is cut short.

you cannot just give Liverpool the title then not relegate and promote teams as that is one rule for one team and different for others.

As for a 22 team league with two promoted from the EFL and then 5 teams to be relegated the following year that is absolute bullshit nonsense and shouldn’t see the light of day.

 

[Fattynomates]

just pretend this season never happened , and start again when ever we can like we did at the start of this season with the standing from the season before , Regarding the CL it’s only fair to make last seasons runners up this seasons winner ?

 

[SouthStand Billy]

Premier League bosses have a plan to play remaining fixtures behind closed doors at neutral venues.(Sun)

These bosses, they wouldn't be the bosses of Liverpool, Leicester and Wolves would they?

 

[Blanchflower]

And as soon as one player from anyone squad gets ill - the entire thing falls down again

 

[Jenny Talia]

Just reading on the BBC about this. They need to be playing again early May to be complete by June 30. There's 9 or 10 matches each in the league for teams but man city could play a max of 19 if the got to both FA cup and CL finals (if they keep the 2 leg ties).

If their 1st game was in May 13th and the played a game every 3 day (have to have 2 days between games usually) the last game would be the 30th of June.

Boris said today we could turn the tide in 12 weeks, that's June 11th. There's no way the government would allow crucial medical staff to supervise the matches and have copper there to stop people gathering by the stadium.

It’s fantasy land. This season is done, end of story.

 

[Airfixx]

The Premier League is scheduling a tentative plan for games to start after 1 June, allowing the season to be finished within six weeks and the 2020-21 campaign to begin on 8 August. (Telegraph - subscription required)

Are these fuckers really this arrogant or simply naive?

 

[NewZealand_Spur]

Realistically I think you have to negotiate extraordinary parachute payments to the clubs that are relegated, hand Liverpool the trophy

Nobody should be winning trophies or relegated based on feelings. Especially dipper feelings which are worth 1/3 of normal people's feelings having used all of theirs up over the years.

 

[LEGO Boy]

Yea yea, we are 99.999% sure of winning the league with only 2 wins needed from 10 but yea go on and just void it. Thanks. Why lie to yourself.

All the ones who are crying out for voiding it would be suddenly crying out to get the title or finish the season.

Not me. Season is disrupted and tainted by death so quite frankly I wouldn't give a fuck if it meant Spurs being denied. Would be just typical I'd think. More important shit. And fuck just handing Liverpool anything. They haven't won shit mathematically and should not be given any special dispensation - nor would many dippers want it that way. 'And keep status quo for the rest'. You're talking utter bollocks.

 

[iz futbal]

Blah blah blah. Go give Salah a kiss while you are at it.

Nope, Im social distancing.

 

[NW1Spur]

If we replay the entire season that is fair on Liverpool as they'll still have a chance to build up a 25 point lead again.

 

[SouthStand Billy]

They can plan all they like, but if people are still dying daily and it's still spreading then they can forget it.

Scrap the season and all of its stats as if it never happened.
Start 20/21 season with city as reigning champions, with dippers, chelski and spurs on CL and Norwich, Sheffield and Villa as newly promoted clubs.
