The Belgian Premier League have declared season over and awarded Club Bruges as winners. They are 15 points ahead of second place. Wonder if our lot will follow suit?

I guess the financial impact will force the decision in the UK...particularly in England. Very much a different prospect in the Belgian league to the English leagues.

Cellino, as bonkers as is has said that Brescia would rather forfeit the season than play any further games...

There was only one game left in the regular season though before the championship round?

I read somewhere that Sky, BT and all foreign broadcasters have already paid up in full for 2019/20 season. The PL are not going to want to refund around 25% of their broadcasting revenue are they? This season will be completed and they’ll come up with a solution for next season aswell to maintain income.

Money talks and the money says “complete the season”.

Liverpool will be very disappointed if the Premier league award it to Club Bruges.

I think so, and I also think we will see a very different Premier League and Championship financially, which probably isn't a bad thing. At the moment you have players who never play in the top tier, spend all their career in the Championship on 50k plus per week and will retire to their castle or their own island at 33. It's all mad, the transfer fees are mad and some reality has been needed for a very long time.

Look at Town, the top clubs in league 2, division 4 or whatever you call it are on 5k a week? More, less? Around that figure I would suggest which is absolutely unsustainable for all the clubs at this level, but they'll pay it anyway. We are not a small club but I wouldn't be comfortable with that level of expenditure.

Quickly going back to the top, BT Sports are involved domestically, Amazon Prime threaten to revolutionise PPV football. Change is coming, and not before time. And this sodomist will fast forward everything.
