karipidis Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The league is clearly going to be suspended in a week or so, they may as well just start now rather than delay the inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 7 minutes ago, Victorian said: I can't imagine the games will remain unaffected. Closed doors games maybe initially but there are still financial implications which will hit very hard. Cancellation of further games is still very possible. If this has to happen then the options are: Season null and void. Highly unlikely. Games postponed and season carries on later? Logistical nightmare. Season declared completed (Hearts relegated). Bit unfair to deprive a club of the still realistic chance to avoid relegation. One club (us) stands to suffer more than others. Cancel relegation and start next season with 14 teams (Premiership + top 2 in Championship). Unfair on other Championship sides who lose out on the play-offs. 16 teams (Prem + 4). Fairness wise it's the best all round but would face opposition from old firm filth and various others who would say it would cost them revenue. But everyone is going to lose money. Fairness to the maximum number of clubs should over-ride everything else. All solutions are riddled with problems. Dundee utd, like Liverpool have won the league's already ( arguable) My solution merge top 2 leagues 22 teams. Bottom league 20 teams. But unfair if a Falkirk or Raith get a bit clear. Lowland league winners? One season only, league positions at the end of 20/21 split back to smaller leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 0.01% of Lombardia has the virus ffs I was being slightly tongue in cheek. However nobody knows the percentage who have the virus as like many viruses many people carry it without showing any symptoms themselves but are capable of infecting others. For example , the guy in Brighton who went skiing in France and then closed down a doctor's surgery , think they called him a super transmitter or something.
