Apparently steps 1 and 2 will do, the women’s game has just done the same

Seems strange when EPL and EFL are saying they will finish the season come what may. Where will the gap be between no relegation and no promotion?

No that would have been a 'everyone hates us' groan. The squeak was Leeds fans.

A very small, very evil part of me is sort of hoping everything from the EPL down gets expunged (especially as it would give us another chance at going straight back up). But the realist within me knows the small pleasure of seeing Liverpool miss out again would be outweighed by the literal centuries of whinging about it.

Why is it strange? It all reeks of $$$.

Right now, I frankly couldn't care less if the football industry ground to a halt and we had to start from complete scratch.

Repopulate the leagues based on number of League Championships? European Trophies? England Managers? Or perhaps away wins against Bayern München...

Obviously all bets are off atm but here's an increasing sense among many people this week that the whole season is going to go in the bin.

SURELY that has to be a worse decision than ending the season now and granting promotion/relegation on a PPG basis?

Teams up and down the land have committed to 3/4 of the season already. If it was October I could totally understand, but we're almost at Easter FFS.

F A rules say season ends on 1st June, don’t think it mentions games not being played. If table in 1st June is as it is today thrones promotion and relegation as per final league position. No play offs so one less promotion and relegation all round.

I just don't get it whatsoever.

Expunging the results doesn't rewind time back to August 2019, does it?

Evans can't just expunge the wages he's spent in the last 8 months. It's all an absolute shambles.

Yep. I think CAS are going to be very busy indeed later this year. It won't quicken anything up, put it that way.

They have overridden that rule so the season can go on longer in order that it is completed, although UEFA say the season must be done and dusted by June 30th.

Fortunately public gatherings are banned, as otherwise there'd be a good chance of an open-topped bus parade in norwich.

Their relegation is the only thing that I have to look forward to in the 2019/20 season so please, please,please,please do not scrap the season.

I'm divided over this. I don't want norwich to be saved, but I do want to see an explosion of scouse fury.

I cannot see this season being completed. I was just reading that they are already looking to push back the re-commencement date again (from 30 April). There is no way they are going to realistically be able to get all games done and dusted before the end of June. Fairly soon there is going to have to be some consensus across Europe on what is going to happen as the leagues need to stay vaguely on the same timeline.

Presumably the Peterborough chairman has the final say though.

I gather there'll be an announcement that the date will be extended again soon, so the period in which the season can be completed is getting squeezed into a smaller and smaller gap, particularly with players needing a mini-pre-season before they can get back going again.

That would be doable for NCFC though as technically they’re all related and could just nip out for their one form of exercise with family and watch the bus go by.

From an ITFC point of view, it doesn’t really matter as our season was already over.

But from a wider point of view, I can’t see the Prem, FL and Conference being written off. There authorities would be too scared of all the legal cases coming their way from the clubs affected at the top of the various divisions.
