It's a huge mess for football finances. This season will have to be finished one way or another (either by extending season to end of June or by reconvening in July/August and delaying the 2020/21 season. The integrity of the English league system would be irreparably damaged if this season is not completed.

When and under what format the 2020/21 starts is anyone's guess. But it could end up being a shortened season:-

League season reduced to 34 fixtures in EFL and 28 fixtures in Premier League?
Scrap EFL Trophy for the season?
No Premier League clubs in EFL Cup?
No FA Cup replays in any round?
UEFA competitions straight knock-out rather than 2 legs?
Anything to squeeze next season into whatever time they have.


I would like all these to happen anyway!

Another possibility is for the whole of Europe to shift their season to November to August for seasons 2020/21 & 2021/22 as a 2-year experiment. Euro 2020 could be played August & September after the Olympics. It would fit in with the World Cup in 2022 being November & December. If it doesn't work there could be a shortened 2022/23 season (November to June) followed by returning to traditional calendar for 2023/24. If it does work then that's the new football season.

That might sound a daft suggestion, but games are going to have to be lost at some point.

There's about 8-10 games left more most clubs realistically that could be done in about 3 and a half weeks although there is the FA cup as well.

You could scrap the EFL cup and the League cup and start the season later. Play more games in Midweek. How many Tuesday games have we had this season - in reality very few.

However since I've got an awful lot of friends who support Leeds and Liverpool I would like to see this season voided. Like the 1939-40 season - it never happened.

If we are all not going to follow government “expert” advice, then why bother having them? Obviously the football world are more qualified, I presume?

To be fair the Government aren't following experts - theyre allowing the Local Elections to go ahead despite the Electoral Commission telling them not too - MORONS

To be fair the Electoral Commission are experts in elections and not medical problems.

Agree with most of these points, with existing season being finished in July/ August, a month off and than the new season starts. Midweek games staggered throughout the week, tues/wed/thurs, every week for the new season. If things have settled down by then I think this is a viable solution.

BREAKING NEWS....

Boris Johnson has postponed the 7 May mayoral and local elections due to the coronavirus outbreak.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
