So many people, football pundits, managers and players especially the ones whose teams could potentially be relegated or stuck mid table are too ready to call for the season to be scrapped.
Ferdinand yesterday, Kane today saying give it till end of June. It truly makes me laugh unless you are Liverpool, Leeds, WBA or possibly Fulham and Coventry of course who give a flying f@@k.
What makes them so sure the new season will get started in August!?

Imo I think if it’s not started or in preparation to start by end off June. We may struggle too see it finish. We could easily condense the 9 remaining games into a 4 week period but they are talking about a mini pre season aswell. Fs. Just not start the 20/ 21 season until start off sept or mid sept. Cancel the carabue cup. And make the prem league match the championship and play sat / wed / sat for a few months. We will be used too that anyway. 😂😂⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️👍👍👍.

They must finish this season, even if it impacts on next season. The ramifications for all clubs, financially, are far too great theses days, for a season to be written off.
And I’m honestly saying that with impartiality. It would be ridiculous for the season to be scrapped, in the PL for example, without Liverpool being proven champions. Equally so the lower divisions, including us.

OP, Batty and Brighty spot on

Fifa and UEFA are simply deluded if they have any notion that a FULL.2020/ 2021 season can be achieved. ir simply cant. and furthermore there will be empty stadiums indefinitely


. So forthe integrity of football after a season 2919/ 2020 that has 80% completed. the season simply cannot be voided and must be completed at some point within the next 14 months

1) Simply play the remaining 20% of games whenever it is. if is means playing them later in the year or next year then do so . behind closed doors

One thing for me is certain there is not a cat in hell's chance that crowds will return to watch sport before January 2021

If any season should be truncated (or even voided it should be the season 2020/ 2021 . FIFA and the football authorities must know that there is absolutely no rush to complete ths season as next season 2020/ 2021 seriously needs to be truncated to half the games. play each team once .

there is zero chance of any supporters being allowed to go to congregate in packed stadiums this year 2020 . maybe still not even in 2021

FIFA UEFA get a grip .

finish the season 2019/ 2020 that has almost concluded . after which then decide if it feasible to salvage the train wreck that will be trying to do a (full or even half ) 2020/ 2021 season.

A fellow gets on a London bound train and ends up sat next to a bloke who has a Monkey in a cage. "You don't see many Monkey's on a train" he said trying to make a bit of conversation. He replies, "We are on our way to the World Monkey Shagging Championships at Earl's Court". The chap says, "Well I have never heard of it" "It's the biggest event in the Monkey world and he is the defending Champion" says the bloke. "Here is a Complimentary Ticket, call if you get a chance". So the fellow finishes his business in London early and decides to go. When he gets in, there are hundreds of Monkeys in cages at it everywhere. He sees the bloke at the end of the hall, "This is amazing, I never knew the event existed. Where is the Champ"? The bloke says, "He is up there, third cage on the right". Why is he tossing himself off"? says the chap. The bloke says, "he has got a bye in the first round"!

An old man wanted to plant his tomatoes, but lived alone. Come the time to plant his annual tomato garden, it was very difficult work as the ground was rock hard.

His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison.

The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

“Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up such a large garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa. ”

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

“Dear Papa, PLEASE PLEASE Don’t dig up the garden. That’s where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie. ”

At 4 a.m. the very next morning, the local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologised to the old man and left.

That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

“Dear Papa, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. ”.
