Yep fair point.
And in truth and a bit like the Duckworth Lewis method and unless there are some even weirder contorts, that is fair enough.
It's inglorious, forever shrouded in doubt and rather empty for Livepool, so I don't care because as a club we certainly deserved fcuk all last season.
Looks like a camp James Corden.
We can't restart it's simply not safe the players can't social distance, neither could the staff who would be needed to run it. Players obviously don't want it to continue and the neutral ground thing is bollocks.
If you have played less home games in a 38 game season and you get relegated or miss a place in a competition by 1 point and you have played 6 less home games you have been robbed.
Clubs won't vote for it to happen it's that simple and we can't use the system the French used as that's even worse. How can you use maths to predict football games when a team just won the PL from almost million to 1 odds.
Would make liverpool winning the PL meaningless to everyone as they never actually won it and the clubs relegated would threaten legal action as they didn't get relegated
Only sensible action is null and void the season and seperate competition to sort out CL places if that's even possible.
For me don't even do that scrap it and miss out CL and EL next year UEFA have enough cash to miss out for a year and when this is actually sorted and 100% over next year we can have a full season and legit standings

It is more likely there will be an average points tally than declaring whole thing null. Every which way you look at it, it is difficult to see a solution that is satisfactory which is why they are trying to get it done in June. I get it trying to get it done, but I just can see so much going wrong.
Parish sharing his views. I bet it’s one a lot of other chairmen share in regards to starting up again.
Forgetting about common sense and our own views on whether it should start up or not, from a spurs point of view, it’s probably best it is restarted. I reckon we could still finish fourth. Our players are so weak they’ll probably revel in playing in empty stadiums without fan pressure on them.
I read the whole thing and all it boils down to is greed, plain and simple.Parish sharing his views. I bet it’s one a lot of other chairmen share in regards to starting up again.
Delusional billionaires trying to save their fortunes even if it means risking lives to do it.
Yep. Now they’re talking about no relegation! Absolutely no point playing the matches if that’s the case. Ridiculous.
'Remove drop if neutral venues are used'
A growing number of Premier League clubs are open to playing the remaining fixtures at neutral venues but with the threat of relegation removed.

"Oh but the public psyche neeeeds football......"
Bullshit! The gov & EPL can both fuck off!
There's no sanity involved in any of these plans. I hope that the government (unlikely) or the police (hopefully) will step in to put an end to this madness.
I never thought I'd say this, but other things are more important than football.

Sadly not far beneath the surface, the Gov want football back too....
Getting the gravy train back up and running is totally in line with their economic interests.
I'm sick to death of it mate. It's incredible when listening to Sky Non-Sports, Talkshite, twats like Neville, etc, not one dissenting voice among them and one absurd, desperate idea after another all in order to maintain 'the integrity of the league' apparently.
I'm at the point where I'd settle for a mass penalty shoot out over Hyde Park if it just shuts these fuckers up.
Greedy twats the lot of them mate, this pandemic is really showing them up for the pricks they all are.
This league has no integrity left imo, rotten to the core mate.
"Integrity of the league".
Whatever mad cap scheme they come up with will automatically destroy any integrity it had.

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.
