They will not open back up. Season will end cos players haven't been training and many players or staff will have Corona.

All 20 clubs will vote. They will all agree to avoid relegation, crown Liverpool Champions and keep the league table the same for European qualification.

All clubs will agree especially the ones fearing relegation.

They will all vote as above except Manure and Wolves who will be pissed off that they never made UCL qualification.

Biggest L of the season incoming for Manure. We need to host partê over that.

wonderful but you forgot city is UCL BANNEDDDDD

A40:
They have not lost it either. If after 63 days Corona is still here then maybe, I suspect a creative solution would be found. I don't like partiality. No Chelsea, United or Arsenal fan will agree if they are in Liverpool's shoes

There is more at stake than Liverpool being crowned champions.

Ibime:
City ban will be deferred. CAS will not hold sitting in this climate.

EPL is a collective with voting rights for all 20 clubs. They may agree to allow 2 or 3 more clubs from Championship and play an expanded league next year, maybe with League Cup cancelled, and FA Cup replays binned to accommodate.

Guy you get sense o

You cant cancel the league and still use league standings. No club will agree to that especially those that had chance to break into the top 5 before the outbreak. if the league is cancelled it's becomes null and void.

Whatever is at stake does not affect Liverpool being Championed. Corona will not go away if they are not crowned.

They can do it like in Nigeria League were Lobi Stars were crowned Champions. In the Bundesliga Bayern would be crowned as well. It doesn't matter if another ball is not kicked provided Liverpool are handed their rightful title. Canceling a season 29 games in is madness.

Ibime:
West Ham will vote either one to avoid relegation. To convince them to keep current standings, there needs to be another vote to split prize money more evenly between all 20 teams because at this moment, they will take home less than they did last season.

Spurs will want it voided so they can keep UCL place. On the other hand, Leicester will want to keep current standing for the same reason.

There is a lot of horse-trading to be done. The mathematics is simply which of the 20 clubs is in a better or worse place than last season. Jagaban will love this kind of political mathematics.

At this moment, Manure is the team with 100% probability of catching a fat L.

Liverpool are still 50-50 to catch a big L.

Sure Option A (cancel season) - Citeh Spurs Norwich Bournemouth Aston Villa, Arsenal(to retain Europa slot)

Sure Option B (Retain table as is) - Liverpool Leicester

13 teams left. West Ham tilting towards option A, Man Utd might tend towards A cos of Liverpool

By the time you add Citeh, All the team in relegation battles and the others wey Liverpool and their fans don offend this fit be like Peter Odili elections in Rivers state Option A 18 votes - Option B 1vote, Man utd goes to Election tribunal

BTW if those are the 2 choices I suspect with a gun to their head, Man utd will vote A to deny Liverpool the title

Ibime what of th making use of only the first 19 or 20

Crown Liverpool champions and decide who gets relegated or promoted based on that or like you said add the top teams in championship to the league but won't that cost EPL more money?

You become champions if mathematically no team can top you on the log. At this point in time Liverpool are not champions. If the league is cancelled today there is no champions and no team is relegated. La liga won't even dare crown Barca champions when Madrid can still mathematically top them. Law suits will be flying everywhere.

Coronavirus is not a death sentence. The Utah Jazz squad for example only two people were eventually found to have tested positive.
From a pool of almost 50 people

I suspect people have started hoarding items and depending on how quickly people respond to treatment this disease can be pushed back pretty quickly. Remember the Ebola virus outbreak here and how quickly it was nipped in the bud. China are already silently making progress in that regard

The Bundesliga will start suspension from Tuesday

It might not be a death sentence but its very close, Utah Jazz players are millionaires who can afford to pay for best treatment, unlike 99% of the world,
An outbreak will mean the hospitals will be overwhelmed, In England there is already a big wait time before now, You heard in Italy, they are starting to decide those "who can die" (whose treatment wont be prioritized"
In America currently, Hospitals are getting slammed, anyone with any slight symptom just check themselves to hospitals, Most doctors on their off days or on vacation are now getting paged to come back to work even with increased incentive

Yet this is with about 1,200 people infected in US imagine if it gets worse

Arsenal will vote for cancelation as their current standing doesn't even ensure them Europa league

A40:
Lol unless you're praying for Coronavirus to still be here with us and people dying from it en masse in two months time, I don't see how their league gets cancelled.

63 day stoppage is the minimum timeframe for that to become an option

What do you think would have changed in 3 weeks, at the most optimistic for normal life and travel to resume as is?

Do you think there will be a cure and would have been circulated all over the world in 3 weeks? Anything short of a cure, It wont make sense to start anything

The cancellation will likely affect the CL, Do you think as a Bayern fan I am happy to see that? when we have been bumped up the list of favourites to win?

Cancellation will mean other clubs who don't have hope get to buy players, the players rest and this rare chance we get is gone

That is not how it works mate. The league can be stopped in instances like these and a winner picked from current standings.

It can happen in La Liga and Germany as well and heaven will not fall

No teams get relegated does not mean a Champion will not be declared

Given the option to a man Utd fan

1 Make CL and Liverpool win the league
2. Dont make CL and Liverpool doesnt win

No it can't. You can't pick a winner. The contract is for a 38game league season with each club playing each other twice. Anything short of that the organizers can and would be taken to court. Liverpool are not yet champions so if the league is cancelled is nulled and void. They can't even try it because Madrid won't agree to it.

There are certain wording in some leagues constitution allowing season to stand after certain number of games (percentage of completion). It is definitely a strong option to be put to vote, but the caveat must be no relegation and probably needs redistribution of prize money to get over the line.

A lot can change in 3 weeks. We have seen it with Avian Flu, Swine Flu and SARS.

Pandemics are rarely ever completely cured. Smallpox is literally the only one that has ever been completely cured. Things would return to normalcy once more people start making full recoveries to the point where the mass panic is reduced and we know enough to sufficiently protect ourselves like we protect ourselves from malaria, ebola and other diseases

I think we need to try not to keep imagining doomsday scenario and exhibiting paranoia. This is why people are hoarding supplies and why prices of everything is going up

So why do you seem adamant on the prospect of cancellation. Its hard to tell. Let's wait and be cautiously optimistic

A lot can change in a few weeks or a month

So at it stands right now, there are 4 teams who are sure to vote against the league being voided; Manu, Leicester, Liverpool, wolves. Then probably Sheffield.

We're definitely in for an elongated period of boredom.

plus Brighton, west ham and Watford that's 8 plus probably Chelsea = 9 (their local rivals Arsenal and tottenham won't go to UCL)

Teams like Burnley, Southampton will likely vote B and maybe all or one of Everton, Newcastle and Crystal palace would support (that's atleast 2more votes making 11 ) mehn they would want to hold unto what they have now.

You don't even know what you are talking about. You are only looking at league positions not even the financial aspect or other factors that will affect the other leagues below epl. It doesn't affect only the premier league but the entire English league association.

There are no set regulations in the Premier League rule book of what would happen should the competition be cancelled early.

Liverpool can be awarded Champions even if the league is cancelled. Nothing is guaranteed. They can go to court but that also doesn't guarantee anything.

Why Wolves? Last season they made Europa, this season they are still in Europa spots

The only thing guaranteed is Liverpool cant be awarded champions if the league is not completed.

Imagine a champions league final between Arsenal and Barca with us leading 3:0 at halftime and then they was bomb blast so the game had to be abandoned. Will arsenal be crowned champions?

That is not guaranteed as you can clearly see in my post you quoted.

How can Arsenal who were losing be crowned Champions

Go and Google what happened with Esperance and Wydad Casablanca

The match will be fixed for a later date and the scores back to 0:0.

Arsenal leading by three goals and except it was a bomb blast I am not interested beside those are local clubs. I am talking about big clubs.

because this is EPL take the best position while you can, he favors them more to vote against annulling the league than to vote otherwise.

You might think o, they could finish 5th and make UCL but they could also drop from 6th to 9th with one more round of fixtures
