I think in one regard it would be justified to give Liverpool the title given the circumstances. It is pretty certain they will win it, although I would argue with myself about what would the cut off be. It would be unfair to give them the title if they were one point in the lead, so when does it become enough points in the lead to say alright then give it to 'em. 10? 16 and a half? No, the obvious answer for a line in the sand is mathematical certainty, which would mean they'd have already won it anyway, which they haven't. And that would ripple down to champions league places, that's very tight and a fair few teams are in the mix and there's big financial implications, you can't just give it to the teams currently occupying those places when fixtures haven't been equal and there's still plenty to play for. Obviously relegation and promotion from the leagues below is even more of a concern. You also can't do one approach to one problem and another to the next, like give Liverpool the title cause they 'probably' will win it, but say sod ya to everyone else, or even anyone else.
Objectively the best thing to do is reset it, I say objectively, I mean that does advantage us, of course, but I think id be forced to come to that decision even if we were in Liverpool's position, although id have to question if we were destined to have everything go against us at that point. It would hurt, but as others have said, there's more important things at play. Maybe there could be a points advantage structure to next season, and/or compensation packages, but that does seem pretty messy in its own right, though some kind of financial aid would need to be there for struggling lower league clubs. I just hope this all doesn't get as severe as it's threatening to and as many people remain as safe as possible, and in the end, we can get back to football when our lives aren't so threatened by far more serious concerns.
