Probably started as Brighton and Hove Albion, then cut it down to just Brighton.

I can't see past this season being played out whenever football resumes, short break, and then the new season. Can see Cup competitions, international breaks etc being squeezed. Be interesting to see what the various governing bodies conjure up.

Two options in my book - either finish the season when virus subsides but there's unlikely to be enough time to do so before start of new season - or just write this season off as if it never happened i.e. no promotions or relegation and no silverware, with top 4 from previous season finish going into next season champions league places etc. Don't see a scenario where some teams are promoted but no teams are relegated - not going to happen. Tough on Liverpool and Leeds fans but the virus is going to be tough on a lot of people and this is only sport after all!

Not sure how that can happen now
Unless they just don’t bother with season 20/21
Football will be lucky to start in August as it is.

Cannot stand Leeds or Liverpool but both losing out would be a travesty.
Regardless, whatever is decided , if we don't finish season we will be PL next season. As never been in bottom 3 and still not in it.
Alexis Macc must me happy. 800k fee for 10 minutes and then quarantine in a foreign country.
Because he's an excellent football administrator and we're lucky to have him. And he bores you because football administration is boring compared to watching the game. Without it though, you wouldn't have a game to watch

It's like they read NSC for their speculation

Agree that football will be lucky to start in August but we know there is plenty of slack in a season with international breaks, cup competitions, mid week. The governing bodies will be working through the options over the coming days

Don’t believe any of it will be workable
You can’t give players a very short break between seasons and then expect them to be playing twice a week.
Something has to give .. and it will be the 19/20 season
True, but it's not like Argentina have done the virus a body swerve!

It's likely to be a legal minefield if this season is null and void but wearing my seagulls blue hat, I'd take your null and void now.

Congratulations, comment of the week
Apologies, I forgot some people were putting their sense of humour in isolation as well. I should have caveated the ‘all players to have a coronavirus party I order to get it’ with a *not a serious suggestion, for those unable to pick out the serious comments from the non serious. Clearly I’m not advocating collateral damage from a virus party I wasn’t seriously suggesting. I didn’t realise I’d have to spell it out.
My old buddy is of course very sensible here.
There is not one single expert or even close-to-expert saying everything will be fine in a month. The decision to "postpone" the season is just forcing the players to keep training as usual. How many employees do Brighton have? 350 or so? Forcing a lot of them to come into work and interact with eachother for no reason is just stupid in these times.
