They can't scrap anything, it makes a mockery of a multi billion pound industry.

They will have to play it out when they can, start the next season when they can and scrap the euros all together for this tournament if need be.

Liverpool not winning the league would be one of the all time footballing injustices. Please please please let it happen.
I can’t imagine too many Everton fans feeling sorry for them.

Villa also have a game in hand on the teams above them, so it's not as if all teams have played the same number games which might have helped any decision should the season be declared void.

Realistically the talk would be of having to finish season by July 20th so there is 3/4 week break before the next season. As there has to be a break before the following season

It's claimed the euro 2020 will be postponed and that is to be  confirmed as not happening when they uefa meeting takes Tuesday march 17th

And what happens to the transfer window, to all the players that will leave in June when their contracts expire and so on?

As is stands, we're missing 2 PL matches over 2 weeks. That's all. The PL would finish end of May, the CL maybe mid June and with no international tournament i see no reason why they couldn't kick off again when they're supposed to in August. Obviously if it turns out that 2 months or so are missed then you'd have to be starting a new season start of October and prob finish it the following mid June, scrapping the international tournament completely.

I'm also looking forward to Rangers and Celtic battling it out for one in a row next season.

There is no way the league is restarting in a few weeks imo.

The contracts would have to worked out but i'm sure in the interests of not scrapping a whole season something could be done. Extensions till the season has played out for example. Or if players won't agree then let them go, most teams have enough players to cope with one or two dropping out because they're legally entitled to do so but i'm sure very few would.
Not sure the transfer window is even worth considering, they've changed the rules on that so many times anyway.

I think the world has bigger fish to fry than worrying about the potential 'mockery of the top English Football League'  Something has to give so somewhere down the line something will be ditched.

If it gets to the stage the season can't resume for a number of months it will be cancelled I reckon. I just cannot see them restarting it in say September. Too much of a logisitcal nightmare with the following season, transfers, contracts etc.
