Is any one other than Liverpool fans still bothered about playing out the season? I know I’m not.
Before anyone jumps down my throat I think playing out the season is the right thing to do and only fair but I like many fans have lost interest now.
I’m not saying this because Liverpool are going to win the league, they deserve it and in fact the way things planned out they were winning the league in the most bearable way possible even before the ban.
It was inevitable for months that they had it won and the fact that they got a knocked out of the FA cup and and the CL as well as losing the unbeaten record made things much more bearable and as crazy as it sounds it felt like their season had fizzled out.
I was really looking forward to the rest of the season, we are 3 points outside of top 4 with a very winnable run of fixtures, into the quarters of the Europa and a great chance to reach the cup semi final. Bruno had breath new life into our season and other players were starting to hit real form.
There was plenty to look forward to but now if they announced this season is over and we’ll try to start again in August I’d be pretty happy.
If this season is played out it’s almost certain to be behind closed doors and it takes so much away from the game.
Not bothered about finishing the season

Yeah, but I really hope no club goes bust because of Covid. The repercussions could be greater than one would normally think.
Clubs that were in trouble already and maybe mismanaged perhaps.

I think that’s a real danger for quite a few clubs down the leagues. I don’t want it to happen, but I could see the premier league clubs looking to take advantage just to ‘help’ make up the numbers if needed.

Would be great for Prem clubs, not great for anyone else.
I've seen the reports and argument that there's too many clubs in England as it is? And it's contributing or is the main reason why so many are struggling. Think there's an element of truth to that.
Merge struggling clubs and unite groups of fans to support a more stable outfit? Controversial.

And then you lose the essence of what makes these clubs these clubs. The issue is more to do with them being neglected by the footballing bodies and government funding (even more so below the EFL).
England really should have far better footballing infrastructure given its wealth.

I'm a Leeds fan and ive kinda lost interest in the football atm. Perhaps its knowing that its not going to be the same for quite a while has made it easy for me to cast it to the side for a bit. I'm kinda treating this suspension as pre season, that's what it feels like.
Null and Void isn't fair at all, teams like Norwich shouldn't be able to prosper from this suspension. The season should be played out when its safe to do so, whether that be before next season, or instead of it.
They could cancel next years Euro's to allow the 20/21 season to start much later than August for all European domestic leagues.

As Man Utd fan, I want to finish the season but only if we can play in front of a full/maybe half full stadium to keep the safe distance. The same for the next season, if we need to play in empty stadiums then just cancel the next one as well.

Agreed. I’m a massive darts fan and they are playing from home at the minute but it’s just so bad without a crowd.

I’ve been meaning to watch some of that. Any good? Anderson and Gurney pulled out because they’ve got crap wifi.

Not really. Everyone is doing their best and it’s better than nothing but it’s nothing on the real thing.
Ya that was comical

I’ll see if I can catch a bit of it.
