This season we were slow, it’s different circumstances though our season started in July and took a while to adjust to Thursday/Sunday whereas if the season gets going we’d only have the league games, we’ve never had any thing like this to compare..
Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th

- Start date
That would be a joke. If someone wins the title then teams have to releagted, simple as.
It looks like the only answer is to void it all , no relegation , no final positions at the top end . It would be extremely harsh to relegate a team after only playing 3/4 of a season and if positions are void at the bottom then it is only fair to void the rest of the league. No big deal really just go again from scratch next year.
they abandoned, they didn't void.
Your arguing semantics.
Just end it, end football. Erase every single game, every goal, every team. Let's just start it again from scratch.
Terms should be cancel or abandon like the dutch have and keep all the records like goal scorers etc. When people look up 19/20 season they should see and count what happened in a players career. Void and null and void means it's all erased which is not the right thing to do. Dutchies have simply said no winner or relegation can be declared, end of.
If this season is to be played I'd rather they just play the games at each others stadiums, non of this neutral stuff. There's room to start in July, UK situation should be much better then.

They should finish it whenever, we can wait. I wouldn't mind if it's the only football season to have 2 boxing day...days.
We're going round in circles with some of these posts.
We have to realise there will be no voiding or abandoning.
They won't even do that in leagues 1&2, so there's no chance in the premier.

I'd never even dream of going on another teams forum and definitely not the dippers forum .
You can dress it up and call it Susan if you want . It was voided / abandoned or whatever other word you want to invent
Their accounts will be nulled and voided I believe.
Honestly his comment made me die a little and he's not even a dipper fan . Unbelievable some of the idiots in this world
Don’t think people got the reference judging by the serious responses.
but I was also being serious so appreciated the serious, if unsurprisingly utterly biased, responses.It won't happen, but I'd be keen to scrap relegation this season, hand you the title, then have a mini playoff for top 4 amongst the teams still able to qualify for Europe. Basically call the league as is then treat this mini period as a playoff.
Like I said, it won't happen but would mean less games and easier to arrange on paper.
The FA Cup coming back now would be better than the PL. If they are to be weird atmospheres behind closed doors, better they're suspenseful sudden death games
Tbf voiding the season and ending it aren't the same. Voiding ends the season with the major distinction being that the entire table is discarded. The season is a null. By contrast If we cancel the season and decided the champions and who gets relegated with the present table then the season isn't voided. The nomenclature may not be important here on a casual discussion forum but in an FA meeting you wouldn't want to use one in place of the other. So relegation teams wouldnt just want the season ended/cancelled/wound up/annulled/insert similar synonym, they'd also want it voided

I think this has reached a point where these teams in threat of relegation except maybe Norwich who might see it as an opportunity, are going to play the line "unless we play under same conditions as before we want no relegation", since we know the EPL cannot do that, they effectively pushing for flat out relegation cancellation. I think compromise needs to be made and they are been unreasonable.
English translation please?
Trial run the fa cup an neutral venues behind closed doors before pushing the league on teams..i think thats where he and howard nurse who replies to him are going with it
okaay...how does that relate to what I said though? Are you asking if they voided it?
Because they could not assign it on goal difference. Had the teams been separated on points they would have crowned a champion on PPG. It's been discussed already.
Howard Nurse!
He's just tweeting that there seems to be a bit of drama going on in China!
I dont follow either, i have no idea how it came on my timeline.
Going through MDs recent posts i remember why i unfollowed him in the first place.
I completely agree with what you said and as you stated the season is void if the table is discarded but was the table not discarded in Holland ?
Yeah the Dutch didn't declare champions or relegate any teams though.
Whole squad into 14 day isolation as two players test positive. Bottom of Bundesliga 2 team
Going well so far then. And this is in a country that has far lower cases and a much better response than we (England) had.
And this is Germany where the situation is so much better than ours.
It's really looking a tall order to complete this season. PPG will probably be the route we take in PL. I don't think it's fair per say but no way of curtailing the season will be totally fair for everyone. Its one of those situations where there will unfortunately be losers.
yeah, so?
What do you call cancelling the season with no champions, promotion or relegation?
Havent seen the Dutch league official statements but if they completely annulled the season and tables that would be closer to voiding

It has got to be null and void and I am sure deep down most Liverpool supporters would prefer that as after a 30 year wait surely they would prefer to win it outright than to have it given to them for not quite getting there but getting close. It would be far more satisfying to actually win it next season without any doubts.
Does that mean that everytime a player gets virus whole squad must go into isolation for 14 days? If they finish season before next year summer I'll be impressed if they follow those rules.
I have now been reading all those rules there will be in German football. Even if german is not my first language. I can't understand how it is going to happen when pretty much every game will be full with breaking rules moments. What happens then? Lost points? Red cards? Quarantine for 14 days? If they are going strictly after their rules it will be silly and wierd watching games.
No, it wasn't. The table was finalised, with those final positions being used to determine European places. There just wasn't any champions, relegation or promotions. So Ajax still officially came first, coming first just wasn't enough make them champions.
Whereas when those involved in the PL discussion rule out voiding the league they mean voiding it in its entirety. So nothing that happened in 19/20 would count and the 18/19 table would be the last valid reference point. Which no major league will do.
Every team will of course vote in their own interest and so they should. That way you should end up with an outcome which benefits the majority, which is probably all you can ask for in the current circumstances.
Think it is best to see what happens within the next 10 days in the Bundesliga before writing anything off. It's good to have some protocol in place, test it as they are, then adjust accordingly. If players and staff are safe between now and 10 days, then great. But if people are testing positive, better to learn what happened, contain it, and make decisions based on the likelihood of spread.
When it comes to voting, clubs should vote for what they think is best for them. That's their earned right for being part of the Premier League. Everyone has their own sporting agenda, can't fault them for that. If the league is smart, they would make the vote anonymous, tally up the votes, then make an announcement to everyone. almost like a knockout draw...every team has one ball, two choices of for or against. put your one choice in the unmarked ball. balls are then put into a mixer, drawn out one by one. this should be a transparent show, but nope.

so basically ,The FA Cup coming back now would be better than the PL. If they are to be weird atmospheres behind closed doors, better they're suspenseful sudden death games?
