So sorry for your loss Stan.

Thanks

It's someone I knew rather than close friend they were not particulary old nor health conditions he was a nice guy. Be careful out there

France have just cancelled Ligue 1 & 2 for this season

I wonder what will happen to the CL? PSG are in the Quarter final, how can they play if there are no league games and the French GOVT have banned sports gatherings? I can see the CL being scrapped also.

If football is not allowed behind closed doors, I think it will be the same in UK, cant see any mass gathering this calendar year

Not a chance I can't see mass gatherings for 12 months at least we will have to adapt to new norm

Governments will be wary to go their own path, if they allow sport (even behind closed doors which will probably need around 300-500 staff from various backgrounds I have seen reported) and it go's wrong and they get another outbreak they will be blamed.

France has set a precedent saying no sports gatherings, so I can see more countries/governments following.

The top FIFA doctor yesterday advised to prepare for football next season, as he does not think this season will be resumed.

And what happens if we can’t start next season on time? We end up with two seasons being curtailed with this one being null and void. No point in that. Much better to wait as long as it takes to get this season finished especially with it being around three quarters done.

I personally think they’ll get it finished one way or another. There’s too much money at stake for the clubs and leagues concerned to not do. Those that are finishing have no where near the same level of money involved. There has been no word on Spain, Germany or Italy cancelling their leagues (not that I’ve seen anyway) where there will also be more money involved.

Then there’s the question of who plays in Europe? What happens to those who could’ve been promoted? Is it fair on those and is it fair that with contracts running out that we all can’t start next season (whenever that may be?) with the same personnel? There will be all kinds of legal challenges going on too I’d imagine.

I see what you are saying but 300-500 is nothing if it is controlled which it can be. Look at the big supermarkets in every town. I bet the big ones have 300 staff working in them then you add 200 customers in top of that even with social distancing. All that in an enclosed environment. Not like a football stadium at all.

I feel that what happens in Germany will determine what happens here. They are close to going back to training and restarting their season.

As we are not compulsory quarantining anyone coming into the country surely a move to play behind closed doors comes at far less risk.

If the Germans succeed in starting up I believe we will follow 3 or 4 weeks later. If they do not start up by the UEFA deadline to state intentions of 25th May then I feel we may be looking to close our season down. Not saying that it would all be void because promotion and relegation issues should be resolved somehow.

Because we are so far clear only a fool would deprive us of what we deserve. We cannot start up another season with Man City being deemed as defending champions. What a joke that would be.

France has stopped their season but not null and voiding it
