angusog Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) would this scenario possibly work?end the season as null and void. restart the new season, whenever. each team carries forward its points ,goal differance . games in hand ect. i know there are issues with transfer,s ect , but fifa or uefa, could stop all transfer until 2021. just a thought. i await the usual responces .and any further thought,s will be welcome Edited March 31, 2020 by angusog -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 That would not really be "null and void" at all, it would be an extension of the current season into what would essentially be a 2019-21 season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusog Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 yes, but if the next season was reduced by 8 games ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusog Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 we have to acknowledge the efforts that teams have put in, to get to where they ended up .? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menga Bus Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Think the best solution is to just finish the season before the end of the year. Then have a shortened season next year maybe 22 games, playing each team once home and away? Ideally it wouldn’t come to that, but I just don’t see the season restarting anytime soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusog Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) as i said, next season , whenever , it might kick off in july ,if we are lucky and this virus is on the way out. or maybe 1 year from july 2023 ? my thought s 2022 tbh Edited March 31, 2020 by angusog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Unfortunately it's too early to guess when it will be deemed safe to resume "normal" life (including the football season), and I think finishing the season is the least of our worries right now. However, purely from a sporting integrity point of view, I think the fairest solution is that the season should resume in full at an appropriate time. It might f**k up the usual timeframe in which football normally occurs, but there's no point rigidly sticking to timeframes and deadlines for when the season must resume when it's uncertain how long the Coronavirus outbreak will last. Lets have a look at other ideas that have been banded about: Ending the season as is - would be unfair as it would rob sides at the bottom of the table the opportunity to escape relegation, and sides in and around play-off or continental competition places the chance to secure those places. Ending the season as is but having no promotion or relegation - would be unfair as teams who have worked hard all season to be top of the league would be denied their reward, and teams at the bottom would be given a reprieve they don't deserve. Playing out a truncated version of the season - why not just finish it properly? Voiding the season completely - a non-starter IMO as there is no reason to completely abandon the current season. It also potentially opens a nice big can of legal complications. Clubs would have spent money for nothing, managers would have lost their jobs for nothing, fans would have spent their season ticket money on what basically amounts to an incomplete product etc. No matter what happens, and whether you agree with me on other points or not, I'm sure we will all agree that it will be a glorious day when the football season resumes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If need be have a short season next year. At least whatever truncated formula is needed for 20/21 season is the same for everyone and no one is shafted this year. Anything else is an no go for meIF its still not safe by October to resume then i recon by then we’ll be heading into the next Great Depression and alot of clubs wont survive so youd have to look at a major revamp in that case 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more driving at the general point that, if the season is voided, every result and all of the money spent was all for nothing and I think that would be the most unfair outcome possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisley Ton Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Club Bruges declared Belgian champions current league table to stand no playoffs. I would expect other national leagues to follow and decide their position. So if the Scottish league sits on the fence they will get a heads up on what to do avoiding upsetting the old firm, Hearts, Partick and Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
