I don't think anybody would be that surprised if they did make them Champions. We've all had months to get used to the idea as it is.

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.

This is interesting....Loads of "Liverpool 2020 Premier League Champions" t shirts on sale. A tad presumptious don't you think?

The price keeps dropping. Give it another week and they'll be a cheap bogroll replacement.

They've no way of knowing that we couldn't have beaten Sheffield United in our game in hand.
Exactly.  Only we know that.

We’ll never hear the end of it if they aren’t declared champions.

If the government are about to push through legislation about large gatherings, the season is never going to re-start in April unless the games will be played behind closed doors.  If that is the case, will the F.A. give any due consideration for those players and their families affected?  Managers would complain that they are hamstrung by not being able to pick their best sides and starting again without fans and all players being available, feels a bit immoral.  I think fat Karen may be right for once, scrap the season as is. 

West Brom and Leeds may moan, but they also have several games left and how many times have Leeds fallen apart?  Nothing is a done deal, not even Liverpool winning the title, particularly if their last couple of weeks is anything to go by.  Null and void.

I mean if season is declared null and void will that be the set president.
And that means the stats and results of matches this season are null and void?
Players goals and assists aren't recognised ?
Jack Grealish record of most premier losses scrapped for example.
Dean Smith win %?

There is a precedent. During World War 2, there was a 'Wartime League' and a 'Wartime League Cup', but - for obvious reasons - consistent teams and players were impossible to maintain.  As a result the record of teams' statistics etc. are not counted -  whatever wins, individual player achievements occurred etc. - towards a club's history.

Let's say this season restarts in August/September after numerous false dawns.

How on earth are players going to keep match fit and motivated until then with no definite matches to play ?

Do they not get a holiday/rest period as normal ?

IMO the individual player stats should stand, as should the Man City LC win, as they were all achieved when things were normal.

We have to think about the transfer window as well, along with the rest of Europe.  Players out of contract is an interesting one too., as is loans ending and players returning to their parent clubs.

If null and void then that should be the set president for all things Premier league .
Talking fantasy football league - no winner
Football season long bets with friends or bookmakers.
That these are made null and void
Maybe even all football bets and ultimate FIFA gaming purchase  in season could be refunded because season did not finish so that doesn't count ??
Will all the balti pies I have devoured be null and void on my waistline?
