    Agree
    The solution is move the Euros to next year.
    Use April - Aug to fit in the rest of the games.
    If have to played behind closed doors then so be it. The EFL and TV companies will have to fund the clubs more money
    Players like Reeves who are out of contract in June/July can either leave or stay on a week by week contract
    Start the new season in September/October

    The season has to end of legal action will be massive against the PL and EFL

    People also need to remember football is a job and businesses are open are they not? People are working so why should footballers be different?

    Unprecedented. But nothing that you put there looks insurmountable, to me.

    I don't like being stingy but, how do tickets work? Do we get refunded or do we automatically get a ticket when its rescheduled?

    I believe the 'normal' default is that the ticket is valid for the rearranged date, unless you actively apply for a refund. But these are not normal times.

    I was just about to say the same.

    Fans would be entitled to a refund if season isn't finished or played behind closed doors.

    It says on the interweb that its "elite" games that are postponed, does that include our spineless lot too? (sorry if this had already been mentioned)

    I imagine Jose is happy, and other teams around them are not. So many different angles can come out of this postponement. And this is just for starters - it might be delayed longer than April.

    Just hope Leeds are told that there will be no promotions from the Championship and they will have to start again next season!

    They can but won’t win. The last time a situation like this occurred was the outbreak of WW2, I believe Blackpool were top. They’d played a lot less games but the season was voided. If we start again early April then fair enough the season finishes. If like some are saying it’ll be 16 weeks+ there won’t be any other option but to void the season, it’s harsh but it’s happened before. And it’s just a bloody game of football at the end of the day, this is a tad more serious. Leeds and your beloved Liverpool will have to suck it up like the rest.

    If the season is declared void, do we get Bowyer, Doyle and Patrick back?

    They could always try but I doubt they'll be successful. The footballing authorities will simply roll out the force majeure argument. That's not simply my opinion; it comes from a football lawyer

    WW2 was different.

    Football is a job. Until nobody goes to work in all industries then the footballing bodies have to come up with a solution.

    If they promoted teams now it would have all kinds of trouble on their hands who's to say they wouldn't have a slump lose all games. Teams like Fulham would be the ones sueing

    This is different to a normal season I'm still waiting for the grounds on how they could sue the EFL or PL?
