The National league are still tiers in English football, with Promotions to League 2, there would then be ramifications for League 2 if they dont finish their seasons. you can almost guarantee that there is teams in league 2 and League 1 that would be in the same situations.

The top 2 leagues are were the money is alright but the FA will have to look at the overall picture, not just the top end when deciding it, they have an obligation to look after ALL of their clubs.

Well said

And that is why the season cannot be voided it will effect 100 plus clubs if it is.

Not voided may not mean completed though. It could be called finished now based on the games already played.

I'm not dealing in hypotheticals, quote the post I responded to for context.

Someone, a Liverpool supporter I believe but I could be wrong, said city might lose players.

I said Liverpool could just as easily.

So could United, Chelsea or Arsenal and every other club.

It amazes Liverpool fans can throw out whatever they like on here and when it's suggested that could happen to them they get such a hive mentally, have to respond and get so offended by everything

Relax lads, it's only football it's nothing serious, stop getting so worked up about it

The possible CL ban easily would explain why City may lose players
Easy to understand for normal people.

Take your own advice & relax.

Reports today that the premier league are considering putting teams into hotels for several weeks like they would use during a world cup as a precaution. These quarantine camps would be their base until league is complete.

So you quoted half of the post I responded too. Sounds like modus operandi Liverpool-us no 1 pick what you want out of a post and respond to that..

The other half of the original post said English clubs could be ruled out of Europe.

I responded to a Liverpool supporters claim city could lose players as result of that.

As I've stated if English clubs were ruled out of Europe every club could be effected and lose players. United, City, Liverpool, Arsenal, whomever

Brinty having a mare!

Sounds a bit mad.

Money and potential legal issues probably the driver.

this again. You are obsessed with Liverpool fans.

It is quite funny at this stage,
Certaintly bringing some humour to this thread, Fair play.

What are you talking about?
Where have I tried to make such a comparison?
How on earth have you come up with that?

I responded to a statement saying the entirety of English football was in agreement on finishing the season, saying the non-league clubs (steps 4 and 5 i think) have already voted to end the season as they can't financially support the season being suspended indefinitely. They are part of English football.

Non-league clubs have not voted to end the season. The National League has asked to close the rest of the season for non-league football but you can see from the article that individual clubs are in disagreement of how it should end.

So as usual you quote part of what I said from a post and ignored the main part. Thanks for proving my point.

Give it a rest FFS. Back and forth is tedious and lads swallowing the bait whole.

So the players cant see their families for 2 months. No way will that be a runner.

Think the idea is to play the remaining 9 games over three weeks.

I'm sure they be all sick of their familes during this isolation.

I'm currently on day 17 of not seeing my family and I don't know when I'll get to fly home.
I'm sure this would be a hell of a lot easier doing this and my family wouldn't mind that much if I was earning 150,000 a week. :pac:

Hodors Appletart

so the epl is going to pull police from the front line?

have emergency services on standby for players

english people are definitely going to attempt to congregate at or near the grounds especially if one of the fixtures involves a league win which it eventually will

this is a monumentally stupid and entirely selfish idea if it goes ahead

That’s what they did for Week 2 of the NRL in Australia. Was a nightmare and they succumbed to postponing the league instead.

pjohnson

Yeah thats up there with Harry's "lets get them all infected and get the dose over with to finish the season" plan.

Sky News last night were talking about herd immunity may be close in the UK,if not there already. Doubt that tbh. They were saying the virus is in the UK since late January and up to 45,000,000 may already have been infected. Seems fanciful.

Encouraging there will be cheap home test kits for antibodies very soon though.

How are we all feeling today then?

Null & void the season or extend indefinitely until it's finished?

Ha!!

Still the same, it will be ridiculous to null and void. Whenever it’s back, finish it..

Italian football estimating 45 - 60 days to complete the season and current optimistic hope is for August.

As the worst hit I'd say Italy and Spain will be the barometers on this

Italy and Spain are currently the worst hit but if you follow what is actually happening you would know that the UK stand a strong chance of being worse due to their very late response and still doing minimum testing.

They seem to think they'll be out of it a lot quicker than expected. Sceptical myself.

So nothing new to add today so let's rehash everything from yesterday, and the day before that, and the one before that too,

Here's a novel idea, how's about we all try and pick a greatest premier league 11 of all time

Each day we could pick one position.

Goal keeper

Right back

And so on

How does that sound

The only criteria is the player has to have won at least one premier league medal

They might be giving that opinion to the public to stop panic on the streets but I honestly don't think that those in power believe it.

Cech without a doubt the best keeper ever of the premier league era.

No Goalkeeper can come above The Great Dane - Peter Schmeichel.

Seaman is ahead of Cech in my book, de Gea and van der Saar too

Cech would be ahead of Tim Howard, Fabian Barthez, Joe Hart,Mark Bosnich perhaps

joeguevara

Peter Schmeichel is by far best goalie to play in the premiership. Nigel Martin would have to be up there too. Doubt Cech would make the top 5 to tell you the truth.

Yep, dangerous game to be playing.

Although I'd hope they know what they are doing!

Don't think Martin win a premier league medal .

That's the only criteria for this, you have to have won a premier league medal.

I will say though that Nigel Martin was a great keeper back in the day.

Tim Flowers is a good shout too

8-10

Easily Cech. Was it 15 goals conceded in a season?

6 at home, 9 away

Best goalkeeper the league has ever seen.

Honourable mentions: Seaman, van der Sar, Alisson, Schmeichel

Alisson hasn't won a premier league medal, he doesn't count

Newcastle fans raging with Ashley. Have been charged for next seasons tickets already!

Jaaskelainen would be a good shout too if it wasn’t for the medal criteria. Schmeichel is the best by far.
