What Would You Do FG? The delay to all football in the UK is a significant delay to the country's beloved sport and is clear to impact the full season and potentially subsequent seasons, not to mention the Euros. Don't get me wrong, there's tons of jokes flying around about Liverpool won't now get their chance for the Premiership title as many seem to think you can only void the season now due to impacts of future plans and next season start dates. As much as they've me chuckle too to the thought of Liverpool fans raging at this, i'm not sure its as easy as just voiding the entire league. Football is now a business first, football second kind of thing, whether we like it or not. The revenue from these games that are being delayed would give much needed revenue to the clubs, not to mention the consequence of being promoted or their position in the league dictating large payouts, for clubs and the players involved. My initial thought is try and find a solution that gives as many positives as possible and remove the negatives, so: Give teams their positions from now, champions are champions, european spots are secured, promote teams in their relevant positions - playoffs could be still played at a later date on a one leg basis so max 3 games per league to take place. I'd then not relegate teams in current positions. Which means we expand the Premier League to 23 teams (it was 24 way back in the day), and other teams shift up a league to fill the gaps left by teams below. Whichever way this goes, what is considered the 'fair' outcome is not going to make everyone in the world happy. I think you have to go with the majority of positives, remove the negatives and move on to the next season. But hey, thats me. WWYD...FG?
