Coronavirus and Football (Plus all Sport in General)

[S-RED]

Whats the point playing the games without the fans though. Suspend the season and just get it done. Resume in a few months and shift the forthcoming seasons to compensate.

can that work with transfers, etc. So clubs are banned from signing anyone until this seasonn is completed & then there is reduced time between this & next season !?! What a mess

here it comes:

Jason Burt, the chief football correspondent of the Telegraph, reports that a Premier League club is carrying out coronavirus tests after three players displayed symptoms.

Yep, cancel the Euros (is anyone really all that bothered?) and amend or bin off the cups. For example have the domestic cups next season not feature teams who qualify for Europe to allow for more free midweeks.

Run like this for a couple of seasons once we are through this.

We should just shut the season down to be started at a later date. There were only 8 new cases of Coronavirus confirmed in Wuhan yesterday, so we are looking at, say, a 6 week break.

Bin off the cups & clubs from lower leagues that hadn't already gone to the wall will definatley go then.

Luton, Maccallsfield, Southend on the brink as it is.

A 6-8 week break would work i guess

I’ve edited my post, in anticipation of your point- I meant have the cups not feature teams in Europe.

Thus increasing these teams chances of a cup run.

I know this is a lot more important than Liverpool winning the league, but we used to joke that if and when Liverpool were ever on the brink of winning the league again, a meteor would strike earth, or nuclear war would break out or some other mad ****. It's more or less happening. It defies belief.

Is it wrong and selfish that the thought of us not winning the title before its suspended/cancelled makes me sick to the stomach? I know there's far more important things than football, but it's still an absolute sickener after waiting 30 years

All things considered, I thought not winning the title last season was rough enough.

But to miss out like this, when we were absolutely walking it?

I just can't believe it

Arsenal most likely? They met with Olympiakos director who now has it.

[Fosterbloke]

Just suspend it.

Also, I like the idea of a lower league contribution for all clubs who make a gate profit of over £x (I don't have a figure).

No doubt Sokratis was probably one of them.

Guess who was playing his usual ****e self against West Ham after that European game ?
