    FIFA have said that all players who have contracts that end at the end of June will automatically have them extended until the time that the season does end. That should stop players walking away out of contract.

    Ah! That makes things a lot simpler. I wonder if courts will approve of that though?

    What happens if it never ends? We could start next season before this one is finished.

    I guess it's a sign they want to finish this season first no matter how long it takes !

    Me neither - they only announced two days ago that it would be under constant review.

    And if it is true, the world and its dog will now blame Watford & Udinese.

    On very basic footballing terms ONLY.

    If the league were to be cancelled, we surely can't be so **** whenever the next one starts.

    We'd have swerved a potential bulet there.

    Had the season finished normally I believe Norwich, Villa and Brighton would have gone down

    Will the virus change the face of football? According to this article clubs that have a lot of their wealth tied up in the value of the players will no longer have so much to spend on transfer fees. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/52221463

    The 3 Captains who chaired and had the most to say were actually Henderson, Deeney and Noble with the others offering their views
