I can see the fairness in not relegating teams when there are games to play, but promoting the top two in the championship seems very unfair, considering how close it is.
Probably my Villa bias speaking.
Fulham still toplayLeeds and Olbiyon and only 7 and 6 points in it with 6 games to go , no way can they award them PL status.
The more I think about it and unless this is over soon and it won’t be, Null and Void is the most likely way they can defend Law suits.
Leeds and Albion promoted and Liverpool declared champions doesn't sound very favourable to me. Null and void the season, now that is a favourable scenario.
Liverpool fans everywhere are fucking shitting it right now. It's magnificently hilarious. In a season they've walked the league it has literally taken an "Act of God" of equivalent to deny them. And if Leeds fans think the same in a season they were finally going up it only doubles the pleasure.
...and if you think Albion fans are bitter now....
I hope they discuss the real issue at stake here on Thursday. I still have 2 x drinks vouchers to use from the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' game. What about them??
What could possibly make steamrollering your way to your first title in 30 years an anticlimax?
A global pandemic meaning the season shuts down so you don't actually win it on the pitch and you can't have a parade until months later.
It's quite amusing actually. Still won't be as hilarious as Leeds and Baggies being denied promotion though.
Day 2 of no sport meant I decided to have a conversation with the wife. Turns out she was made redundant from Woolworths.
It isn't close.
It’s close enough for one of them to fuck it up.
It's closer than when Wolves collapsed and Albion took second. And that's the thing, apart from having a lead like Liverpool do, there's examples clubs can point to of where the unexpected happened.
It’s not that close at the top of the Prem. It isn’t that close at the top of the championship. But have you seen the top of league 2? 5 points covering the top 5 teams with some having games in hand? What do you do here?

They already fucked it up and nobody took advantage. They're miles clear. As are Villa Ladies. Send them up.

Fulham (3rd) are 7 points behind the leaders. 9 games to go.
I can imagine if the league is called off, then there will be some additional payments to lower league teams to sweeten the pill.
So they can definitely fuck up again and this time someone could take advantage. 6 points with 9 to play is fuck all, Wolves were 10 ahead with 8 to play and blew it.

It's a 3 point gap from 2nd to 8th with the team in 8th (Wycombe) having a game in hand. How you sort that out I don't know. Also in league 2 Exeter only 3 points off auto spots, Cheltenham 4 points with a game in hand.
More I think about it more I reckon they'll have to void season. If we don't get playing again.
