    She's a symptom of a selfishness that dogs society on the whole. Bookies paid out on us winning the league ffs!

    Voiding the league would be a great outcome from their perspective

      That's my biggest worry, Germany are already talking about voiding and not declaring a winner. Makes sense as Bayern are only 5 points ahead of second. Hope other countries push for a champion, e.g. Juventus and Psg who are usually dominant teams by this stage.
      One tit for another.

        There's a great argument for stopping it for a whole year and resuming it this time next year exactly where we are. In the interim if things improve then reevaluate or create some cup comps but this season has to be resolved before the next one begins.

        Imagine being champions for the 2019/21 season

          Juve and PSG won't care as they've won it so many times in the past

            Yeah I just checked and they aren't that far ahead either. Lots of options still on the table then.

              Sorry, didn't see this before posting something similar. Suspend all league for 12 months, end it same time next season

                Great post- there’s so much up in the air if they void the season.. how do they divide prize money, who gets relegated if anyone, who gets into Europe, who gets promoted if anyone, tv money, sponsorship money, season ticket holders, etc etc..

                I wish they’d come out and state that it will continue, once we are able to, whenever that will be. I hope we don’t have this anxiety of wondering what will happen, for months...

                  We probably will have the anxiety, as in the rest of life. It's what they do

                      Continuing or voiding are the only 2 options.

                      Voiding opens alot of big cans of worms. People have paid through tickets TV packages etc for alot of games that are retrospectively reduced to a load of meaningless friendlies and will have negative effects on future subscribers for TV packages. The broadcasters have paid alot of money for these rights, there are sponsorship deals where companies are not getting the exposure that they have paid for. Clubs such as us could claim we have lost revenue by not getting the title, similarly clubs like Leeds could arguably suffer larger losses by not making the PL. There are alot of potential legal issues, these would be easier to be resolved if the league were finished and next season was delayed (or cancelled instead). To me this makes sense, but the footballing authorities don't always behave sensibly.
                      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                        Yep. This is the fair and sporting thing to do. Just pause and resume when it’s suitable to do so.

                        It may also be an opportunity to turn it in to a positive by aligning domestic league calendars with the upcoming World Cup.

                        I can’t see any justification for scrapping seasons that are 75% done.

                            They can end the season with us as champions and no relegation if they want.

                            3rd and 4th place - open to debate
                            Relegation - open to debate
                            Champions - it's us and no one else.

                            So hand over the trophy and do what you want with the rest of it.

                              Yeah this too. Be decisive, put everyone’s mind at rest over how titles, European places, relegations and promotions will be resolved. And shut Karen Brady up.

                                They might void the league but they will make us champions. No doubt.
