Premier League 2019/20

There's too much money involved for the league not to get completed. Forget Liverpool they are champions and no argument to deny them.

The real issues are the CL places and relegation. You're talking about millions or tens of millions for clubs like Leeds, Bournemouth, Norwich, Sheffield Utd when deciding CL places, promotion & relegation.

Most teams have only 9/10 games left to play. Far more likely the season is finished (even if its rushed) to get a final result and the following season amended just to avoid potential law suits from multiple clubs

The Euros will probably be postponed until.at least December..
The clubs need around 7 or 8 weeks to run off this season so it may be possible in the summer.

Money that will be worth sod all the longer this thing drags out. There are only 2 options play the leagues out at a later stage or void it. WHen the leagues meet up they will know if the Euros have been cancelled (almost certain  that they will be), they should draw up a plan for - if we are back playing by, for examples sake, between May 20th - June 30th then we will run off remaining fixtures (2 games per week), if not then the season will be voided. This way everyone knows where they stand. The way I see it currently is that they will be lucky to get the next season up and running on time let alone play off the last one.

Far easier to run off this year and then worry about plannijg for following season.

Doubtful, this report https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-phe-document-says-7-9-million-britons-could-be-hospitalised-11958143 indicates the pandemic could last into 2021. If its even half way on the money then there is no option but to void this current season in my opinion.

I was surfing my dodgy sky box there and noticed Everton v Liverpool in the EPG for tonight, I'd completely forgotten it was to be on. Christ it's only last Thursday that matches were played it seems like a lifetime ago...

Lot of footballers out of contract at the end of the season

Not a chance of the season being played after that

[J70]

They'll do week-by-week contracts, if it comes to that.

Liverpool could win the league after Lallana has left, which would be harsh. He played his part at Old Trafford.

[Milltown Row2]

PL meeting today, with the Euro's off that should get the leagues finished if there is a window! Would have been very unfair on Liverpool and the likes of Leeds, though expect a lot of opposition from the teams near the bottom

It won't make a difference if the virus is still going to be there for another few months. They are hoping it will be gone in May or June so they can resume, which it likely won't.

Games postponed through April 30th

[Rossfan]

"Through April 30th"
What does that mean?

[MayoBuck]

An Americanised phrasing of postponed "until" or "to" April 30th.

[Rossfan]

Ta buck.
The phrase makes no sense whatsoever.... a bit like voting for Trump I suppose.
