Is the prophecy about to be realised?

The Dutch league has just been voided. Which means no champions, no promotion and no relegation.

Will all other leagues follow suit? A brave decision from the tulip lovers. Gives the league a chance to breath and prepare for next season.

Even if its next year? How do clubs survive until its safe?
++

Many won't. And football without spectators is a non-starter (for me anyway). Football is very much a spectator sport and not a TV programme. I certainly wont watch it, even if it is televised. One thing that this pandemic has showed me is that there a lot more to life than football.

All aspects in life will never be the same again, post Covid19.

That's OK if you don't watch it. Millions of others across the world will. I can't believe people are indifferent to three quarters of clubs going bust. If you dig deeper usually you find the real reason.

i don't think any football fan is...

but it it is a consequence of the pandemic then there isn't a lot we can do about it as individuals. Keeping alive is more of a issue for mr andf my family

Keep digging!

What do you mean keep digging? Strange posts.

The football powers can try to keep it going for the sakes of thousands of businesses, jobs and livelihoods that rely on football.

Its OK if you don't care about that, we can't all be Mother Theresa.

Yeah but Germany have said they’re ready to resume the season as soon as they can.

So it’s really pointless looking at what other leagues are doing right now, each league is doing different things. The Dutch have voided, Belgium have ended the season but announced a winner and Germany are going to complete it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s been cancelled not voided. League standings still count and EL and CL will be handed out based on league positions.

The 2 top teams were level on points, hard to call it on difference. Sensible way to to it really.

They could have gone on GD, matches played, goals scored. Even had joint champions

Yeah but it’s the call the Dutch FA made.

Belgium went with something different.

Belgium have awarded the title and Scotland want to. But their situation is different to the one with which the Dutch had to contend - both Belgium and Scotland have clear leaders, while in Holland that Ajax and AZ Alkmaar are separated by goal difference with each having nine games to play underlines neither could stake a genuine clam to the title.


It doesn't matter what other countries do though, solutions are supposed to be tailor made to a specific league's situation. In places where leaders had a significant lead the title has been awarded.

At the moment its looking more and more likely the season can be finished, but there's dangers ahead threatening that plan IMO.
