[Albion] Premier League plans for the remainder of the season *** ALL FIXTURES POSTPONED 3rd April

Playing behind closed doors is a sticking plaster that will only last a week or two now.

Chalk off the season, start again from scratch in August.

Do it BEFORE any team is mathematically promoted or relegated. Do it now.

An £8000 holiday would be covered by travel insurance.

Not unless FCO issue a do not travel. Otherwise it is travel at your own risk. Insurers are stopping selling new travel policies.

Bit unfair on Liverpool, given that the title is there's in all bar mathematics.

If play was suspended the season would need to be held over. Cancelling it out could result in elongated legal challenges.

This without doubt, please. We can then laugh at Liverpool fans forever.

Leagues honoured at where they finished on Saturday last. Top two promoted, bottom two down. No play offs.

No team has won anything mathematically yet.

Once they do, that it when the legal ramifications get much worse.

Zero chance that would survive legal challenges from clubs that miss out on promotion or are relegated.

You can't relegate anyone who hasn't played 38 games.

If you just postpone, then teams lose great out of contract players like Schelotto in June, and bring in others. The integrity of even a late 38 game finish is gone.

Suspend it. Finish the season at some later point. If necessary, scrap the entire 2020/21 season to allow 2019/20 to finish. Set up friendly tournaments instead if things are getting back to normal. Then start over 2021/22.

So if someone has paid out £8,000 or more for a once in a lifetime holiday or one to mark a landmark birthday, they should just shrug their shoulders and say I don't need a refund it's for the greater good.
Until the Government bring in new legislation that overrides consumer rights, a contract is in place and the terms and conditions must be adhered to.
The amount of the ticket or whatever is irrelevant.

I just see the newspaper report of having a ticket to watch the stream as nothing more that the PL and the clubs looking to avoid giving refunds that they know otherwise they would need to do.

Given some posters seem unable to wipe their arse with a little less paper or dare risk running out of paper at some point in the summer - The chance of them giving up on an expensive holiday.......

Promote top two from every league. Only the prem will get bigger and they will have to squeeze in more games next season. You could stop the littlewoods cup for a season and maybe one of the international breaks. Sorted.

There must be some force majeure rules already written into the agreements that clubs sign to take part in the league, surely? Bit of an oversight if there isn't. No idea what they'd say, mind.

see #77. It is the Times, not Daily Mail so guess you can take a higher degree in authenticity.

Can't help thinking this thread would be different if Timmy The Fog had his name below it.

I’m sorry but it looks like everyone’s finances are going to be hit really bad . That being the case bollox about worrying about the club . Me and my wife run our own private hire company just the two of us. Already looking at 20 airports down this month that’s a £1000 loss . The two school runs I can’t see lasting till the end of the month as both are vulnerable children that will be another £1500 . Not interested how the club will cope more worried about losing my business

Wasn't there something in the budget about helping small businesses?

You've got a bit of a soft spot for the Pool, BL.

 

[Djmiles]

The PL should 100% finish now.

On an unrelated note, what position are we in?

Exactly. But in order to do this, UEFA need to get off their arse immediately and either cancel the Euros, or postpone until summer 2021.

No legal challenges would succeed and the clubs know that. The football authorities will be taking action on the advice of the government, so in effect any legal action would be against the UK government. Not only that but the football authorities will have included 'force majeure' clauses that allow for them to cancel all or part of a season.

If suspended for 46 days or more the season is nulled
