Project restart discussion.

We just have to accept football needs to start just for the money situation. As long as they make it safe and just get it over with.

Liverpool will be champions, we all know that. There is zero chance the season is getting curtailed, so let's just hope it passes as quietly as possible, however unrealistic that might be...

To be fair after watching how weird Bundesliga was this weekend not even arsed if it restarts and they win it as it won’t even feel like proper football.

Still 4 weeks to go, anything can happen. Wouldn't surprise me if it is cancelled eventually.

Mid June (19th) has been lined up for Restart and Tory's behind this now despite increase in "R" infection, testing down again, additional 3000+ new cases and cover up over Care Homes deaths.

Media jumping for joy over just 170 despite everyone knowing weekend figures are always low.

Meeting today is all about the health concerns and training to start Tuesday in Phase 1 with over 1000 tests.

This is going ahead but I doubt they'll shut down anything despite the threat of a 2nd Wave or players health concerns.

Wouldn’t surprise me if you’re cancelled very, very soon.

That's the best part of a bad situation.

They won't even be able to celebrate after the final whistle of the last game when they win it due to social distancing lol

Had that corrupt get Harry Redknapp on the tv this morning saying "well we all want the league to start up so Liverpool can get the title they deserve". What the. What's his motivation for supporting them? Isn't he a Chelsea/West Ham/Southampton/Portsmouth man?

I was speaking to one of my RS mates last night, he was saying that if the footy does start and they wrap the title up all the excitement of winning it just isn't there for him anymore because as fans they won't be able to attend games (even though 1000s will still line up outside Anfield) and celebrate it properly.

I think it's inevitable they will come back now. I don't agree with it but not much we can do.

Money’s won out in the end, disappointingly

With the German league now up and running, I reckon even if there was an outbreak of Covid amongst players there the Premier league would still forge ahead with a start date.
