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 the players out of contract at the start of July?

Month extensions for players due to mitigation circumstance ?

Unless there is a provision in the contract for extension that can't happen unless mutually agreed. Players might not want to extend their contracts if they are free to do deals elsewhere.

With our 1 game less, we are in a good legal position regarding relegation if things get scrapped.

I guess it shows all the complexities of just extending a deal.
This is a special measures situation isn't it.

I can imagine in future contingency will be in players contract to protect them from situations same for clubs

If they scrap the whole season now, there is nobody worse off than they would have been as nothing had yet been decided. If however, they use current positions, plenty of clubs (us included) would argue that we'd been harmed by the decision and could sue.

In the former scenario, there are plenty of clubs who'd possibly feel aggrieved, Liverpool being the main example.

In the latter, there's nobody yet relegated so it's all what-ifs. Similarly, Man City would argue that Liverpool have lost 3 of their last 4 and that their form has obviously fallen off a cliff....

Liverpool not winning the league would be one of the all time footballing injustices. Please please please let it happen.

I totally agree. Please let it happen.

I dont think there is the remotest possibility that this season will be completed.

April-June, we are advised, will be the peak of the virus. With contracts for players expiring at the end of June, the integrity of the league is broken. You also have the issue of this season running into next.

That is it for 19/20. Whether they promote the top two in the Championship as the Bundesliga are proposing, to make a 22 team league, remains to be seen.

I can imagine villa players being on a generous bonus if they retain premier league status.
What are the implications there as it's agreed before the start of the season and the season isn't finished ?

Great opportunity to give him time to work on the issues and get some players back from injury.

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.

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

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.

Are we all doomed Bren? Should we consider life as we know it to be over? Oh no, oh god nooooooooo.......... wail etc

Are you're more concerned about the mockery of a multi-million pound industry than people's lives? Are you mocking Bren?

This should be left to the pools panel.
