Christian Purslow - Resigned

[Dave P]

Best estimates are that we are 12 weeks away from something like normality and There are 10 weeks of matches which could be squeezed into 8 so you are looking at 20 weeks for this season to be over if they try and complete the PL season and that takes you to August and ignores any cup or European games.
I just don’t see how that is possible.
Even if they cobbled a committee  together to vote for relegation they would be bogged down in law suits which would stop that happening.
The FootballLeague would have to agree amongst its members to put forward teams for promotion and again any looked over Club would have justification to take the EFL to court.
All they need to award 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' the title is Citeh agreement and they would obviously acquiesce.

To award Liverpool the title, they’d need to propose it and 14 of the 20 clubs to agree. I’m sure this will be passed.

The EFL can moves clubs around their own organisation as much as they want provided they have majority votes but they cannot move clubs into the Premier League.

Yes I said put forward as they have no power to force the PL to accept them.
Can you see any alternatives to Null and Void.

I really can’t. I can’t see anything but null and void but declare Liverpool champions. Surely very little valid argument for anything else.

Something else to consider is that you can't go 12 weeks and then just expect footballers to pick up where they left. Their fitness levels won't be to where they would need to be and that would risk injury, even if they were still training and playing low key games behind close doors. They will need a full pre-season. Then with the Euro's at the end of next season (realistically), they'll need a proper break - which they couldn't get now even if the season finished now, due to there being so much uncertainty.

They're going to have to write the season off, which is just a damn shame isn't it .

[Footy-Vill]

Not just physical but as I said there mental head space.
Footballer have a lot of time on hands as it is
Those who battle with off field issues and trying to keep focused as well as all the chaos it brings.
How many have the self discipline ?
How many have the anxiety about how wages may be . More so lower league . But players with big expenses and sponsorships.
This is unprecedented and these off field issues will be affecting people

[Mister E]

I'm sorry in 10-12 weeks at covid 19 peak it will be far from normal.
We are looking at several  months from peak if not longer . And maybe a year or so to achieve a normal scheme of things that's how I fully see it.
And there isn't anyone who can convince players to squeeze that amount of games in literally after a serious pandemic.
Most players won't be prepared to do that.
Unless 'experts' advise otherwise. And I don't see this happening because this could be a recovery of years
And this is going to all get so upsetting a whole lot more for people than Liverpool fans losing out on title .
I like to hear a Liverpool fan be gracious and admit and understand that maybe a season can't be completed and that's because life and death is bigger than football

Whilst I respect the fact that this is a fans' forum where opinions are freely given and challenged, there is also a responsibility on all of us not to overstate things; and we are not well enough informed yet to make these kinds of judgements.

So, you'll rein in your comments and post stuff from a newspaper instead?  Way to go.

[Footy-Vill]

I'm actually trying to help !
If we are all prepared and realise it could a long haul it's better than not knowing.
But yes of course I'll rein comments in though and apologies

Not really sure what Vill I An is supposed to have done wrong here.

Very simple really, the problem we have in the UK is that we are being dripped fed information, we are being given information on a need to know basis only, this virus will be a defining moment in this country, probably the most defining moment in a 100 years, the concern I have is that we are acting contrary to what the WHO have said we should do, and to what everybody else is doing, bottom line is the government have been found out, ten years of this lot has forged a massive underclass, we can't close schools because there are a huge amount of kids that rely on the school meals to get fed each day, schools know this and are saying it, this Universal Credit stuff simply doesn't work, we have a massive amount of families living in B and B, homeless people, how on earth can we isolate the amount of people we need to do to make a shut down effective, we can't, government caught with its pants down, the next thing is, they will put the troops on the streets not just for organisational purposes but to counter civil disorder.

This virus will go on, until such time as we either build a sufficient immunity to it, which will cost many thousands of lives, or we get a vaccine. I would say a years is a pretty good guess, if not more.

Wow, fuck me , I didn’t realise Corona virus came with political colours  ? I may be wrong but our country does seem quite measured in it’s response to it. There also appear to be many acts of kindness and compassion in the midst of all this too , but hey let’s not focus on anything positive eh ?

Was watching Homeland for the first time in 5 years yesterday. Guy who was playing the Vice President looks just like him.

What the hell do you think you’re doing bringing this thread back to topic ? 😉
