Trouble is the virus peak is not for weeks, maybe months, if you have teams isolated now it is only going to get worse in terms of numbers of players, coaches infected etc. With the Euros and Olympics in the summer unless they cancel them I dont see how they can make up the games in time.

They’ll have to cancel the league. It’ll upset the fans over the park but it’s more important than football. Not sure how it would work though. I can’t see how they’ll make up the games, then there’s the Euros, transfer window etc. It was hard enough for them to arrange a winter break.

Sources were already saying the Euro’s would be delayed until 2021. I just don’t see away the league doesn’t get completed, it’s just a matter of when.

Then there’s no break for the players. Transfer window complications etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they will probably postpone the Euros, but if the peak is in April / May I doubt games will be played before mid end of May. I dont want it to happen, be a nightmare in terms of relegation and European places. I just think that is the way it will go. It's going to get messy.

If they were mathematically champions already then that would be different, but they’re not (Celtic and the shite) so I don’t see how anyone could go for that.

How does it have any bearing on security when during normal times the games can be played as usual at home or away? The Merseyside police have no objections to the game’s being played in the City even the Derby, I think that’s what I heard reported from them.

Popular Post barryj Posted May 30, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 A neutral venue would be the last straw for me. I really fancied our chances to get something from derby under lights in a rocking GP after they’d been knocked out of Europe and were on their worst run of form with a couple of injuries. Now it’s looking likely we’ll play them in another stadium with no fans with maybe 5 subs. How can that be seen in anyway as keeping the integrity of the competition? Especially if other teams don’t have to play in a neutral venue. I appreciate this is unprecedented times but let’s not get fooled that this decision is for ‘public morale’ but is only driven by money and fuelled by the media’s spin. I love football, I miss football but it can’t be right to restart under these conditions. Palfy, MikeO, Sibdane and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
