I've been having an on off discussion with a lad on here about this.
Changing a season is an enormous undertaking. There's a reason why it hasn't happened in the 140+ years. If you seriously wanted to amend the football season, it would take months, if not years of planning. It really isn't something that can be done, on the back of a fag packet, in a few weeks with the pressure of a pandemic, and also a looming financial crisis.
I don't think people realise as well, that clubs will likely operate to their own self interest more as a result of this. Not because they are horrible, or have self interest, or are trying to deny club x/y/z this that or the other but because when you are facing enormous financial difficulties and there is a lot more money on the line, people become very defensive.
I also think another point in this, is starting a season chaotically, with things such as behind closed doors, compressed schedule etc is a lot easier than finishing one half way through. Introducing different rules part way through a competition is extremely difficult to do, as you will get sides who say it wasn't the rules they stand up too.
To give a simplistic analogy, imagine an Athletics 200m race, and it's much windier at one end of the stadium. If you discuss this with all the runners beforehand, and state you want to change where the race starts, for the reasons you do, and can eventually get them all to agree that is possible. Whats almost impossible, would be to stop the race part way through, and agree to re-complete the race from the positions they were left in when it was stopped.
Essentially, if big changes have to come, it will have to coincide with a season starting from scratch.
When it hits 50,000 they may reconsider

Why and when was Kieran banned? And more important talking of bans, what happened to iggysmith?

That's the point here people are missing believing it can be resumed and completed (not saying that's from you mate) . UK are only are the start of an upward curve that still has weeks to run. Something has to give here and focus should be on getting the new season started without any disruption.
Would be great but never happening, anyway it doesn’t matter what players leave, as long as Klopp is there we’re on borrowed time.
it clearly isn’t and won’t be. Stop being clickbait and a WUM of the highest order
the footy will go ahead tho aye.
I don't understand the relevance.
it’s saying only key workers etc can use them. So they’re not going to be football unless key workers are the only ones who can attend?!
So no football will be played because a hotel is being selective over who stays there?
so it won’t just be that will it? It will everything and all the others. Football isn’t getting finished for cert
Think you're looking a little too deeply into a hotel reservation there mate.

It seems clear that they will be given the opportunity to restart the season if it is safe to do so. It is by no means clear when it will be safe to do so. Being 'safe to do so' will require a relaxation in government legislation, which will only come into place if we get a grip of this disgusting deadly virus. I therefore hope that the season is restarted ASAP. The prospect of voiding the league will only occur if the current legislation needs to remain in place beyond July and August.

Having stayed here a couple of times this is for refined people like myself not the lower classes. Probably why you got the letter
