Club Brugge named Belgian champions after Coronavirus ends season
 

It has been recommended by the directors of the league that it will end early due to Coronavirus and Clubbe Brugge who are 15 points ahead are to be named champions on April 15th.


A similar approach could be adopted In other European leagues where there are runaway leaders.

Link?

What about promotions and relegations? I don't agree with this, the seasons need to be completed properly.

no, and otherwise i quit watching our eredivisie


no champion is better, just start all over again next season with same teams

What's the point in starting a new season if you cant finish the last one?

seems fair enough, it will always be a tainted crown though :hehe:

That is worse. Competitions have no integrity if you just scrap it and start again. What happens if CV flares up every year for the next 4 years?

All places remain final no relagations and the top 2 from league above are promoted with extra relagations next season

It would be tainted if there was a few points but if its runaway leaders how can it be tainted?

You were mathematically not over the line :shrug:

The good news if MU will be in the CL if Citehs ban is upheld if this goes ahead :dance:

#BoycottEuropeanFootball next season, no dutch teams in champions league and Europa league pls out of protests

But your saying we are going to fail to get 6 points and City will get maximum from the test of the games? Its logic the title is basically won

I think this will be like the Ash cloud, never again to be seen

you still were not over the line, face facts

Its logic throughout I wouldnt expect anything from Uts fans after theylulled out of the FA Cup for the World club Cup

void the season

Tainted

imagine ajax becoming champions here because of coronavirus :yuk:

poor AZ robbed then


2 extra teams next season i wouldn't be against honestly, more teams, more matches, and also more finance for some of those smaller teams :D

Then watch the teams drop like Bury also all money would have to be paid back

Ajax Director Marc Overmars: Eredivisie is dead, life is out of it, no more fun to watch in this coronacrisis

it needs to be cancelled without a champion, and just 2 extra teams for next season, and no relegations

PEC Zwolle's director Adriaan Visser, and Fortuna Sittard manager Sjoerd Ars also support this decision to cancel the competition

Tbf only like 10 people watch that league compared to the billions who watch the Premier League

KNVB like Trump :laugh3:

not just 10 people who watch it, we usually we have filled up stadiums every match here

and also the many who watch either FoxSports or regular FOX via KPN or Ziggo sport


respect for marc overmars :clap1: going against the corrupt knvb

Which is why they will finish it as they will have to pay 100s of millions back

blackmail :facepalm:

So if you paid a lot of money for something and you didnt get everything in the contract you would be happy to walk away?

honestly give the bill to Man City owner and he can easily pay that fine :fan:

er it's not like they shut up shop just for the laugh is it, nobody has any choice, it's a directive from the Government

I'm going to lose money on flights and stuff but I'm not going to be suing the airlines...

Yes and they have the option to finish the Season

look i know how you and plenty of other Liverpool fans must feel right now, finally a chance of being champions again and then this whole **** happens

how?

They can restart in June and play it all within a month then push the next season back to September and cancel the Micky Mouse Cup

Have you got a Crystal Ball? Wimbledon where players play 30 metres apart has been cancelled, how do you think they can plan to restart football in June when other sporting fixtures are being cancelled in the same month? If that is the case they could have let the Euros stand and the Olympics :laugh:

No date needs to be put on it, you finish the season when everything is safe to resume. UEFA screwed over the whole football calendar to give a world cup to Qatar, so no more of this "it can't be done" stupidity. You don't start up a new league season until you finish the last one.

It's not a Liverpool issue, it's a competition integrity issue.

Its bee suggested they will force players to go to training camps and have all games played at 3 stadiums in the midlands behind closed doors

:umm2: that should be illegal to force anyone to do that, what about the referees, linesmen/women, back room staff, groundstaff , camera crew, that will all have to travel unnecessarily

For half of them it will be seen as a way to keep a steady cash flow

You guys are being deluded if you think you are seeing football any time soon.


Belgian League is irrelevant to us anyway. They had a game left of their season and basically just scrapped relegation/playoffs etc.

If I was Liverpool I'd be asking for this season to be completed, and eg. shorten next season with a different league format to compensate, rather than just be handed the title now.

Otherwise people won't take the win as completely legitimate.

Not just Liverpool it affects, Sheffield Utd could qualify for Europe for the first time in a very long time, West Brom and Leeds could return to the PL with Leeds having to wait a very long time for this, Foventry could win the league title and be promoted which would help their financial problems and Bolton need the money to save the club and others do aswellb
