What are you going to do if leagues can't be played out?

You did notice the potential for league reconstruction which would prevent any clubs from being relegated didn't you?

posted on 17/4/20

Yes, that is absolutely the wrong vote and incredibly unfair.

The fairest solution would have been to scrap the whole season and start again next season as this one started.

A complete farce.

So null and void it which means UEFA would kick our clubs out of European competition?

Will you null and void the EPL to prevent Liverpool being awarded the title or is that silly question?

I did tell you sandy Liverpool could be crowned champions and the current league standings would be final. This has happened in Belgium and now Scotland. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen here.

Would end up a quiz question in years to come, who where crowned champions without actually winning the league?

This is all about Liverpool not being awarded the title nothing else.

That's a terrible outcome. You cannot relegate a team who haven't played their allocation. What if their last few fixtures were much easier than the team above them, etc etc.

This wouldn't happen in England, in our non professional leagues they null and voided.

Imagine Bournemouth getting relegated on goal difference with 9 games left. Would never happen.

Potential doesn`t mean a thing. The point is no club should be relegated on a vote. That is like back in the days when Arsenal were voted into the top division on a vote more than a century ago. Completely unethical, and against any kind of fair play, which sport is supposed to be all about.

It happened in Belgium, Don, because their leaders could not mathematically be fault. So no real problem with that. But any team whether winning titles, promotion, relegation that can be caught, there is no way that could ever or should ever happen.

There were 11 games left and their points totals were about to be halved, plenty of chance for them to be caught.

Apparently Thistle had already played the best team in the league Dundee United four times, so would have had an easier set of fixtures than others around them to finish. Totally out of order.

What is fair play?

4 teams from one league getting a pathway to Europe's cash rich "Champions" league?

Football hasn't been about Fair Play for years, its a myth.

Want to bet?

So you do realise why the null and void option isn't on the table anywhere don't you?

Season ticket reimbursement. TV money being withheld. Sponsorship money being reclaimed. No European participation exclusion.

Happy for the clubs to pick up that tab when even some players refuse a wage cut at clubs?

And yet you still can't provide an answer as to what you will do if the remainder of the league can't be played out?

Good luck with playing out the remainder of the season and hanging on until it's impossible while happily watching some of your lower league clubs go to the wall

Thanks for this.

At last we can now recognise that you genuinely haven't got a fwcking clue as to what you are talking about.

Dear 23 teams of the championship. Should Leeds who have been top 2 for best part of 2 seasons get promoted? They are 7 points clear and have the bottom 5 to play, all at home.

Yes - 0
No - 23

Cancel next season and finish this one then.

Good point. Plus they seed the draws and eliminate elite same league match ups to ensure the richer clubs get further and richer.

Er I think this article is about Partick Thistle getting relegated. Are you paranoid or something? Where does the article in any shape of form mention Liverpool?

If the remainder of the league cannot be played out. It will be voided. Only two solutions. It either finishes or it gets voided.

Season ticket reimbursement? If the matches are played they will be behind closed doors, so season tickets will be reimbursed.

Football will be resuming at the earliest possible time it can. If it can't resume even behind closed doors until August/September then imo it would be more sensible to write off this season than finish this season and then impact next season.

They may lose all of those five games against the bottom clubs. Leeds are hardly known these days as a team of absolute consistency. They are as liable to have a wobble as any team in the league.
