villan-scott Posted March 14, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 14, 2020 They should declare it null and void, and I imagine most European leagues will be the same. It’s not as though this is just a PL problem, it’s global. I guess all the leagues will need to sing from the same sheet and decide the same outcome, therefore European completion can continue next year. Very much easier said than done. Imagine if the PL voids, but for instance La Liga carries on in a few months. I think all leagues will need to have the same result, and easiest way to do it is void the season and annoy a few teams! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Without prior knowledge to what the answer is, I say, do the same as what they do if a match is abandoned midway through a game. So, for instance, say a home team is 1-0 up and after 70 minutes the game is abandoned due to floodlight failure, what happens? Whatever the answer is, that's what they should do with the season.

Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted March 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2020 Either I've totally misunderstood the hundreds of hours of coronavirus news stories that I've watched and read, or there is only one outcome to this Premier League season. It will be cancelled. We haven't even begun to suffer the huge amount of damage and pain that Covid 19 will cause in the next six months and more in the UK. I'd take Villa's relegation if it meant that coronavirus would go away, but sadly that's not an option. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One win for any team makes a difference around us and there is still quarter of the season left. Given WBA and Leeds are quite clear, have no relegation, promote those two for 22 league just for next season. This money is too big to relegate teams based on not a full season. I reckon there would be long legal proceedings if they did what you suggest because relegated teams wouldn’t accept it especially because of the money loss No easy way out of the.position we are all in and for Leeds and West Brom to be promoted there needs to be relegation . The position we are all in is unique, but we should be able to play the same amount of games as every other team and any notion of average points to decide our fate and Sheffield's should be rejected. West ham and Man United have a big influence on the premier league and its my bet us and Sheffield will get a raw deal out of all of this if we allow it to happen .

Brumstopdogs Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 If you had stopped the chammpionship at this stage last season Villa would have finished 8th and Leeds 2nd. Just goes to show a lot can happen so you can't just assume that teams would continue with the same form. Scrap the season and start again in August (depending on the state of the country at that point). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there needs to be relegation for there to be promotion, then for me, there shouldn't be promotion. The easiest way out of this position, is to accept that the results are incomplete and to decide that promotion and relegation places cannot therefore be determined.

jacketspuds Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 No promotion or relegation. However, there needs to be significant financial compensation for those teams who have had their chance of promotion snatched away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 People just need to remember the PL teams vote on this and what they really want is no relegation for anyone ever. Anyone getting relegated early is the least likely of any possible outcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Maybe I’m saying this because it would turn out ok for Villa but when I see the reaction of some grown men that are Leeds and Liverpool fans at the suggestion of cancelling the season. It really does make me think people need to take a good look at themselves. It’s a f**king game! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 If this had happened the year before Leicester won the league and they had used average points as a basis for deciding relegation, Leicester would have been relegated and we would never have had that amazing season when they won they title. You often get bolters out of the relegation zone and heavy droppers into it. We either finish the season or it’s classified as null and void. I would rather we either had a half season table to determine the outcome. At least that way everyone will have all played the same teams once (although there will still be disparities around home/away fixtures). Alternatively we let Leeds and WBA come up and run with a 22 team season. You could still have a 3 team relegation with only one team promoted to account for the fact that the Championship is smaller for one season. Their promotion could be based on a 4 team play off.

These are scary times when the year on year underfunding of the nhs will be exposed to all and people will die as a result. My wife is a respiratory doctor. The head of service at her hospital gave a presentation on Friday showing how they may have to use tents within the hospital grounds to provide temporary beds to really sick patients. People think that this is going to just disappear but it won’t. The next 2 to 3 months could be devastating for our Country. I’m sorry but football just does not matter in these circumstances, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I honestly don’t give a **** what’s decided either way. Cancel the season, postpone it, start again next season, use the current league positions. Meh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
