    That is basically ppg and what the Brighton chairman said last week. And, as tobes also informed us last week, the Prem money has already been allocated per ratio of games played and standings. Just like the points will be if the league isnt completed.

    Has it? I thought all TV money was paid at the end of the season (Saints borrow against it every year) which is why a swift conclusion is favourable for a lot of smaller clubs.

    Interested in a link to that if you have one.

    I dont, I'm quoting tobes from memory. Apologies in advance tobes if that is wrong - just as I admitted I meant the Prem and not UEFA.

    No. But if you go back on Grindr you'll doubtless find your ideal date on there. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Much as I agree with the champions bit, I think it would be totally abhorrent to award a CL place to Spurs over Leicester, and I have no axe to grind against Spurs at all. If that happened I would hope uefa carried out their (vague?) instructions and banned the whole association. Us included.

    A quarter *****lian features if we're talking physical features, I suppose. Perhaps you meant mongaloid though? Whatever floats your boat...

    The TV funds have already started being awarded based on current standings so your solutions offers nothing new there. So what's the point of abandoning the league? You're just guaranteeing no income can come from the remaining games. Plus staff would probably be laid off if there was a guarantee of no business for another 6 months or so.

    If you're proposing all this in some hope next season will be back to normal then there's no chance of that. IMO if you want next season to be as good as possible then it's best to use the remainder of this season to work out the difficulties of football in the new age of no crowds (both covid medicines have failed and there's no evidence of immunity after having it).

    The more apocalyptic you make this, the more the bs and Uniturd fans are are creaming themselves. But there IS a cure, be told. Just null and void the league and the disease will disappear just as surely as if youd drank a bottle of demestos, and next season will start in August on elysian fields of emerald velvet. Rio said so.

    What's so difficult in understanding that there's more sporting merit in recognising the 29 games teams have actually played than pretending all of those successes and failures didn't happen? Oh right, Everton are crap.

    If you're so desperate to include last season then how about you add on the points teams earned in their last 9 games of last season to make the total number of results up to 38.

    Clubs are always paid TV money in advance (so have have money to spunk in the transfer window)

    Bonuses for league position come at the end

    No moaning from me since the Prem made clear null and void was null and void. Think you'll find the mass beatings have come from those who'd nailed their hopes on that particular flag post.
