Pretty sure that the powers at be will decide that due to this Global Pandemic. The 2019-20 fixtures will just be replayed next season if the remaining 9 games are not played before next season. I seem to remember Norwich being banned from EUROPEAN football because of Liverpool misbehaving away from home a few years ago. Outside forces effect sports
Just posted on "General football" thread, the most likely is that there will be a 22 team EPL next season, same as, plus Leeds and WBA. But those down the road will still be languishing in league one.
That would certainly get more games to make up for lost ones, but who knows what will happen, 5 relegated the year after or 4 relegated for the next two years
It happened twice - after the Milk Cup win and in the early 90s! I've never forgiven Liverpool fans for that! No tears from me if they lose the Championship!
The EPL will do everything possible to finish the season in order to avoid: financial distress for teams, giving back sky money, disrupting the transfer period etc. But if the season is to be suspended/cancelled this is the fairest solution I've read. And it should avoid litigation by teams that might feel unfairly treated. I would rather see four teams relegated two years in a row than the slaughter of 5 regulated after one season. JMO.
I didn't think about that way, Rob. That works, too. The EFL would have some input since the organizations are supposed to work together on the problem.
I'm not so sure. Anyone with a passing shot at playing in Europe or currently in the playoffs will be bringing their lawyers.if I were third in the championship, I'd present a body of evidence illustrating that Leeds would fall apart again and that they should go up. Bah!
If the season is cancelled does that mean Lawro is correct about Pukki not being able to score 10 this season because it is null and void?
You didn't use a smiley face but this made me laugh when I read it. You're probably right about that. Every club affected by the decision will argue in their own self interest, the greedy barstewards. Whatever the powers that be decide is OK with me - as long as NCFC stays up.
