    That’s nothing more than a journos subjective opinion not what UEFA actually said.

    IF City are still banned. I bet you, needing as much money pumped in as poss, UEFA don't put up much of a fight against City's appeal in Switzerland. They've already said there's no FFP next season, I'm sure I read somewhere.

    Or for next season since this one hasn’t been finished so no-one has earned anything on sporting merit yet except Liverpool a European place.

    Well it's now at least two journos' of two different papers, tbf. And that's just the major ones. They could all be quoting each other, in fairness. Here's the proof of the pudding though _

    Do you accept null-and-void is dead?

    Do you think, if it can not be played out, placing will be determined on PPG?

    How many elderly and frail citizens will die if Liverpool are crowned champions?

    Tbh mate Liverpool winning their first premier league title by having it awarded to them when they hadn’t mathematically won it would be just as hilarious for rival fans as the season being voided and Liverpool not winning it. It’s a win-win situation for rivals looking to take the piss out of Liverpool for years to come.

    UEFA's point of view is that they'd rather place more merit on a recently three-quarter finished campaign than the one from a year before. You can protest if you wish. TBH, that makes it more funny.

    I’m not particularly bothered either way. To me it makes most sense to null and void. If it doesn’t happen and some other method is used I can’t say I’ll care that much. It’s not like football authorities are known for making good decisions.

    I still don't think PPG is fair to relegated sides tbh if it can't be completed. Would much rather no relegation.

    Hahaha!!! Do you REALLY think Liverpool fans are arsed about having to be handed the title when we're 25 points ahead with nine games left? Had it been four or five points....

    So 'Take the piss' amongst yourselves till kingdom come and we'll just embrace our asterisk, and our only twinge of regret will be that we never set a points record that would ever be equalled, as being out of all cup competitions, that is all we had left to play for.

    They'd be sixth, surely?

    Everything else at the top stays as is.

    I think if Sheffield United gain a European place the government should step in because of the human rights issues of their owners country

    I think Liverpool fans are desperate for the title at all costs and couldn’t give a **** if they’ve actually won it or not. It’s hilarious ammunition for rival fans though. Imagine this is your only title for another 30 years and you didn’t even win it? <laugh>

    According to many reports (that some would like to ignore), there is no way 14 clubs that will vote for PPG will also allow relegation. Whether that means 22 teams next season, I dunno. Much rather they had 21 and just relegated Norwich, but I won't dress that up in any false veneer of fairness.

    We will, and the hilarious bit is rival fans pretending that we didn't. :biggrin:
