    Perfect Scenario,we play behind closed doors and finish winning the league (taking away the tainted win lol) and in the process Sevco get zero money from these remaining games and that will kill them off.

    Probable scenario,the league starts round about Sept/Oct time,finishing of this years games,then go straight into the new league after this. Probable winter breaks get cancelled to fit more games in. The issue here then is the CL/EL,fitting this in will be difficult.

    After this 2-4weeks simply the government will allow games behind closed doors. The government cant keep up this level of loss for long and better or worse everything will reopen.

    The longer it goes on, the more chance of sevco going bust and we get awarded the title.

    No hurry from me to resolve things.

    The government doesn’t give a flying * about football.

    Rightly so.

    It isn’t their remit, FFS.

    There is absolutely zero chance of things being back to normal in 4 weeks. We will probably still be at the 'peak' everyone keeps referring to. This is going to go on for a very long time. Lockdown could be happening for months, not just weeks.

    Hopefully your wrong and I'm right. The peak keeps changing daily. The other day we was overtaking italy @2 weeks behind rates. Now were not. At most itll last 3 extra weeks. Lets hope I'm right. Too many wishing this lasts for 6 months and loving it.

    Unless all 12/16/18/20/24 teams in their respective leagues and I mean ALL agree to cancel the season or declare it then it can’t happen it can’t be a 50/50 or 60/40 or even 90/10 as has been said you can’t take money or award prize money for stuff that didn’t happen.

    huns are obviously going to say “ah we don’t want the money back”

    if it takes to July to restart the season so be it.

    best idea IMO is to start pre season in July for 3 weeks and rather than these “money spinning matches” or “early qualification rounds” then finish this season in End July and august if possible playing Wednesday and Saturday/Sunday for 6 weeks to finish the league campaigns.

    Summer transfer window to be 4 weeks long and season to start in September to June and wipe out winter breaks and all cup games to be played for 90 minutes and ET and pens on same night no replays.

    play all domestic cup semi final and finals at the end of the league campaign.

    It surely isn’t that * difficult is it!

    They should shorten the season, play 4 or 5 games to give relegation threatened teams the chance to overturn it. Then end league season and if possible play the remaining cup games. 3 weeks could be enough time and all games behind closed doors but televised.

    Yip agreed if things are open come start of July I think we will have done well.

    spoke to the mrs and we are still paying summer holiday (due to go in august) as it’s Atol protected and we will take any time this year if we can if they cancel the summer one tbh
