KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Will this season be completed

Looking very serious now with coronavirus much of Europe in full lockdown and talk of the UK being in lockdown in days the government meeting as I type this.

Looking like no chance fans back and even the season itself under threat

I haven’t been paying attention to the mortality rates in UK but here in USA they are very much down. The only reason the positive rates have increased again here are because of much more widespread testing and the same as when it first hit it is only dangerous to those with underlying conditions and the very old, much like the flu.

Trump saved many, many lives with banning travel to and from China before anybody else in late Feb, even after his political opponents called him a xenophobe for doing so.

There is still some serious problems with how the science community worldwide has handled this with so much misinformation and scaremongering.

When this is allover China needs to be held accountable!

They should be ok to continue PL as is now, with no crowds, can't see any crowds in the stadiums this season.

You might be right they need sport to keep the population sane

Also clubs would go out of business if they had to start paying TV money back to SKY/BT etc and sponsorhip money.

Clubs will go bankrupt if it happens, no chance it will stop because managers, players,staff have been tested positive and the show just goes on. Clubs have their own testing done and are managing their bubble. There is too much money at stake to stop it.

Thats not stopping thousands of companies from going under. The government has bigger priorities than the wealth of premiership football clubs. I would imagine thats way down the list with the economic devastation to come

wrong thread

It also keeps the public happy as a distraction, govermnet will do all they can to keep PL football running.

CL will be more interesting, as they cross country borders and there is allot more travel, so if a country is in lockdown, not sure if Governments will allow teams in/out.

Yes I think that's a fair point football is a morale booster for the public however whether the lower leagur clubs survive is another question
