More hassle then it's worth tbh
Maybe easier to win than finish top 4 if we don't have much to spend though.

If it's left up to the PFA then I simply have no hope they'll do the right thing. I expect Arsenal to somehow worm their way back in whilst clubs like Sheff Utd get screwed.
If Arsenal do get any benefits - or any other club that hasn't deserved it - and others get screwed, I'll be taking a long break from following the PL and will prob just follow spurs in Europe and the cups.
And UEFA have confirmed that sporting merit up to the point of the season being ended, rather than club coefficient or any other method should be the deciding method of clubs playing in their competitions next year.
So anybody holding on the thought of null and void, would mean same teams in Champions League next year can forget it, not happening, only way we get in it is season resuming and us winning maybe 8 out of 9 games.
They really won't mate.
If you think the government will ignore the medical/scientific advice and put football before the safety of the greater public you're being naive.
Ultimately the people behind the medical and scientific advise are those who will guide this all, and they've no obligation to put the convenience of football at the forefront of their guidance.
I'm not sure about that.
It's come out that the initial strategy was down to the government's instinct that people would be happy to see 100000 deaths and no lockdown - and then their volte-face was not because of the imperial report but because of focus groups telling them that people actually valued human life.
If the mood in the country swings around to 'give me football and give me death', they'll open grounds, science be damned.
Anyone know howl omg we are letting the NHS use the stadium? Can't see us kicking them out if this is going on still to play behind closed door games.
Whatever happens you wont be able to please everyone.TBH i'm at the stage where I couldn't really care less how they sort it out now.
When they eventually come to a decision, whatever decision, some people in this thread will be incandescent with rage, calling foul, corruption and conspiracy
Fuck that.
That's absurd.
The scientists’ reasoning: Britons, many of them assumed, simply wouldn’t accept such restrictions.
“We had milder interventions in place,” said Edmunds, because no one thought it would be acceptable politically “to shut the country down.” He added: “We didn’t model it because it didn’t seem to be on the agenda.
I wish they would just make the call to end the season and the current positions are the final positions - give Liverpool the title, promote Leeds, etc. and just get on with it.
They need to start planning for how next season is going to work because right now I can't even see that being a thing right now.
Don't be so sure.
From the Reuters article:
and
At its heart it's not really a scientific issue but a political one. If, due to economic and social pressure, they need to reopen stadia, then scientific advice can be applied to how it can be done within acceptable parameters.
The pressure for a reckless reopening of stadia is already present in the US, with the president, Fox news and these astro-turf demonstrations. It's unlikely that impulse is going to lessen, especially as the death and infection rate fall. I wouldn't bet against such sentiments creeping into to Britain before too long.
