I'm surprise they took that decision when the governments of UK, Italy, Spain and Germany all want the live sports to restart asap

Brother Leon · 28-04-2020, 02:23 PM

So that’s Belgium,France and Holland.

I imagine most of Europe will start to follow suit bar maybe Germany, who will probably trial to continue season and just stop.

Denver · 28-04-2020, 02:25 PM

The British Government have said they want live sport to restart asap

Denver · 28-04-2020, 02:25 PM

Also PSG and Lyon have to pull out of European football

But the clubs are hitting back and taking the leagues to court, holland screwed over many teams and are rethinking the decisions due to threats of legal action.

If the PL cancels dispute the PM wanting it to return at least half the teams will have to sue them

The Government can’t even provide enough PPE and Testing for NHS staff at the moment, never mind full scale for Premier League. What they “want” doesn’t mean a thing.

But the lower you go the more it affects the players, players on lower wages will end up in debts which will cause mental health issues and the game could be destroyed altogether as very few clubs would last 18 months without income

no they don't, UEFA has already pulled back at that statement jeez

each league will get financial support too by them

so premier league doesn't have to be finished, and struggling teams can still get financial support (that is what UEFA hints at using the 4,3 millions for)

well things are different now in these coronacrisis times, and it'll never be normal again

the teams who can survive great, those who don't will be victims of the coronacrisis and we cannot blame anyone for that

Football should not return for the foreseeable future(before at least September where we have seen the potential second spike). There’s no reasonable alternative to allow it to go through at the moment.

Also, UEFA are being deluded if they think there will be European football any time soon. They should count themselves lucky if they even have a tournament next season.

Personally. I cancel this season and try go again in September with only domestic competitions and no Cup Replays etc.

Why cancel a season to restart a new one?

Also they cant afford to cancel the season

Captain.Remy · 28-04-2020, 04:24 PM

So there goes Paris with another victory

Well, at least we finish second.
Same goes for Rugby too

But it's for the health of the people, in the end it's just sports. It will come back in September.

Fifa's chief doctor has warned against restarting the interrupted 2019-20 campaign and suggested governing bodies prepare for action next season instead.

Michel d'Hooghe said "as a doctor" he would be "sceptical" about continuing leagues amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The chair of Fifa's medical committee told BBC Sport: "My proposal is if it is possible, avoid playing competitive football in the coming weeks.

"Try to be prepared for the start of good competition next season."

European leagues have until 25 May to tell European governing body Uefa whether they want to complete or cancel their seasons.

"There is a risk and it is not a risk that has small consequences," continued D'Hooghe.

"It can have consequences of life and death and that is why I am so careful and I ask everyone to be very careful before deciding to play again.

"I speak as a medical doctor, I don't have to speak as an organiser of matches, but for the moment from my medical standpoint I would be very sceptical."

Belgian D'Hooghe added it would be extremely difficult to continue social distancing if football matches were to resume and believes some "hygienic rules" would have to be put in place if seasons were to continue.

"How will you avoid direct contact?" he said. "That is my question.

"For the moment the criteria means it is absolutely difficult to say that we can play competitive football and believe me I regret it profoundly because I am a football man.

"I am a little bit afraid that to have a complete solution we will have to wait until we have a vaccination programme, but I think the time has come now to think of some hygienic rules.

"For instance to avoid spitting - why do we have to see that in football and not in other sports? This is one of the things we have to consider because this is a real danger in the future."

On Tuesday it was announced that the French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 seasons will not resume.

It is not yet known whether the Ligue de Football Professional (LFP) will choose to abandon the season with no promotion or relegation and no champions, or base the outcome of the campaign on current standings.

The Dutch top flight was abandoned on Friday with no promotion or relegation and no champions, while on Monday Belgian clubs postponed a vote on confirming the cancellation of their top flight until next week.

It's going to be cancelled everywhere

Denver · 28-04-2020, 05:17 PM

Then it's a genuine goodbye to the game of football

MTVN · 28-04-2020, 06:33 PM

Tired of the 'its only sport' attitude from people saying it shouldn't come back yet within a few weeks all shops will be back open and people will be streaming into shopping centres and towns to buy clothes, get haircuts, go to Greggs, Costa etc all of which will be less safe than a football match being played behind closed doors

Get the bloody game on!
