If for reasons it's unsafe for football leagues to continue then I would suspect the season would be suspended or cancelled. If the time frame allows no place for resumption
No relegation taking place
Liverpool awarded league title with *
The note being on their records Only player 30 games that season .
I think many of us here are in agreement that a relegation should not be given to any football club when a season hasn't been concluded (apart from teams that break rules)
So I think they would rather risk upsetting EFL promotions than the premier league elite who are a different entity.
I think Leeds and WBA are going to be the ones that don't get promoted rather because premier league clubs vote or otherwise wouldn't allow clubs to be relegated 'unfairly'
And as people say the legal dispute by premier league clubs can be avoided.

Cancel the euros now, put the season on hold until things settle, or more is known, then conclude the season over the summer if possible.  Can't think of any other way round it.  Who knows, we may be able to go to Newcastle in above-freezing temperatures...?

Cancel this season, null & void.

Then calmly sit back, and watch the noses go into meltdown at how spawny the vile are once again.

In the interests of fairness, void the season, start again next year. Liverpool will probably still win it, Villa May stay up and Leeds....will fall apart 😄😄👍👍

Cancel the season and no relegation/promotion.

But next season starts with positive and negative coefficients for all teams?

Or next season strats with all teams on the points they finished this season?

Even that wouldn't be fair as some clubs, including ourselves, would have played a game less than anyone else. I suppose you could just add the game in hand to next season's fixture list.

I just can't see them ending the season and going by current standings. The legal side of that is massive of clubs affected. How many clubs get relegated/promoted/into the playoffs on the last day. Look at Leicester, at this stage in 2015 they were bottom and 7 points from safety, pretty much everyone thought they were gone. And we know how that went.

But if the season stopped now and we just played that one game in hand, they'd need a win to qualify for the Champions League. No way they'd be letting us win.

Agree they would spend the next months being sued.
It is possible that there are provisions in the PL /clubs contracts for such an event.

An unknown Premier League club is testing all their squad after 3 players displayed symptoms.

Destroy Carthage and suspend the league.
