Not a bad idea...

 

Would that mean no football from December 2022 till August 2023? 

Do you want to play last 16 in CL in pre season? Bad idea if you ask me. NULL AND VOID!

We're probably already gonna go a few months without football now. So, no exactly big deal if that were to happen.

By that you mean the resumption of this season's UCL Round of 16? If the authorities follow AVB's idea, then that wouldn't be an issue. 

Haven't bothered to think much about it but the only reason I would want this season to be declared null and void is that it would likely benefit us in terms of Champions League qualification (and to see Liverpool NOT be crowned champions). Otherwise, I'm not sure what's the point. Not sure why everyone is so rigid about the European football schedule that 2019/20 must end by June or July or whenever so that 2020/21 can start on time in August, which may not even happen if this virus situation persists. On top of that, the 2022 World Cup will throw up a mess to the scheduling when it comes around and this whole coronavirus feels like a perfect opportunity to take and adjust the football seasons accordingly for that.

It's much easier to cancel this season and start the new season fresh in August.

Expected to start again in July. Assuming the league then ends in September. 

Wonder how the transfer market plays out. Does it still open normally in July? 

In July? :blink:

Coronavirus: UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin says season risks being lost

Ceferin: "We have a plan A, B or C: to restart in mid-May, in June or at the end of June. If then we wouldn't be able to do any, the season would probably be lost"

The Premier League is reportedly set to restart in July with matches to be played behind closed doors unless the coronavirus situation in the UK worsens. 

:facepalm:

This is serious quote from UEFA president. And yes, UEFA has everything to do with PL and other leagues. They will be part of decision made. 

I don't believe that thing you posted. 

Shit source with words 'reportedly' and 'unless' :finger:

I don't see any sense to start games in July.

It will. The FA and PL clubs have all voted to finish the season indefinitely. Whether in July or in November. It will finish.

It's dumb 

Just cancel the season and start the new season as normal. July should be for pre season which the players are going to need after being quarantine. 

That is assuming things die down by July or August for football to resume but if it doesn't, then what? Say if it's only safe to play again in November, then how do you manage the schedule with Euro 2021 happening next summer? I'm kinda bemused by the fact that people are so rigid about following the football calendar schedule. 

Also, tribalism aside, I wonder if we were in Liverpool's position, would people be so casual about just saying "just declare the season null and void" OR if we weren't in the Champions League spots, would people be so dismissive like now? And that is without mentioning the financial repercussions for all the teams.

The J League is scheduled to restart in early May, if that happens without a hitch then a clear prescedent is set.

Plus it will nice to watch football again.

That is may be unlikely given there are still cases happening in Japan. There are even still doubts about the league starting in China in late April/early May even though the situation has improved over there.

'Officially'. Yet they've delivered two lots of 5000 urns to one funeral home alone in the last two days

Was talking about cases but yeah and they haven't fully lifted the restrictions within the country yet.
