    The sponsorship deals with have clauses in the contracts that cover force majeure, so there won’t be a breach of contract issue. There could well be an adjustment made to the total amount due though.

    Seven pages of non Liverpool fans jizzing about the prospect of us having our title voided. <laugh>

    Uefa have postponed the euros for a year to let leagues complete the season.

    <whistle>

    Too much money riding on the league imo to stop of it.

    Should be a mini league from 3rd to 10th and 12 downwards for relegation.

    Something like that.

    Limited matches, even over a shorter duration, or even a tournament to give people a crack at it.

    Its too brutal to declare relegation now and with the financial impacts that could have - same with top 4.

    1st and 2nd should be just left as they are.

    I think my idea of a mini league or tournament to decide relegation and who gets champion league is a lot fairer than leaving it as it is.

    Don't get your complaint tbh!

    There is no fair way to do it if they can’t finish the season as advertised, so just call the whole thing off

    Fair idea but practically involving that many teams, what would the benefit be in terms of minimising games/playing time than finishing the season? Not saying it wouldn’t just wondering.
    Also in terms of leaving 1st and 2nd, purely as a Leicester fan, I’d be saying we are only 4 points behind Man City but 8 ahead of 5th so why should we be included in that playoff. Just questions that would be raised I guess. At the other end, Norwich are 6 points from safety so should they be included?

    Play the games as soon as possible and that may affect the next season but that's something that can be dealt with later.

    They either finish the league or bin it. The only people interested in some kind of fudged end to the season are Liverpool fans.

    I've even seen Liverpool supporters suggest the cup competitions get binned to free up weekends to fudge the end of the PL season.

    Literally no Kopite self interest there at all, absolutely none <laugh>

    The rest of the league can play tiddly winks or have an arm wrestle or something to decide who finishes where, just give us the title when we’ve not even won it.

    Yeah sound <rofl>

    Couldn't give a stuff about the top of the league.

    Just think it's very harsh to relegate teams without the season finishing. Massive financial impact.

    That’s why they could never sanction it, as you can’t relegate teams when the season is incomplete, they’d sue the **** out of the PL. The season either gets played to a conclusion or it’s sacked off, that’s literally it.

    These days doesn't matter if you finish first or fourth,all get into CL and that's all that matters, even fifth place could get in this season.
