On finishing the season...
L1/L2 Clubs need the gate receipts
No point playing it behind closed doors
So should wait until we can attend games again
Then play this season to a conclusion
Have 2 weeks off and start the next season
Play every Sat-Tues-Sat with perhaps some Sat-Tues-Thurs-Sat for as long as it takes to get it back to equilibrium
Players might be knackered but would be great for fans and Clubs need it
Is this your opinion (fair enough) or something that came out the meeting? |

It would be handy if they could just agree that the present season will be finished - come what may.
No need for any timescale.

TLDR: the proposal is decide league placings on PPG, no relegation, promote those in auto spots plus the next one (i.e. no play-offs). Which would leave a 23-team Premiership, think it falls on that hurdle (because PL clubs won't accept the expansion of the league) |

If pitches need to be dug up and relaid over the summer that would preclude any short 2-week turnaround between the 2 seasons, but I don't know if relaying is essential or if it can be put off for a year. Anyone know? |

Why would the PL veto that? Subsequent seasons would see additional clubs relegated to return to a 20 team league. Surely it’s the least they can do as no actual cash help is likely to be forthcoming. |

And there's something no one (as far as I know) has mentioned - how long does it take to do the fixtures for the following season? |

The best idea I’ve seen is finish this season - be it July, August or September. Have a month break before the start of next season, and have no domestic cup competitions (FA Cup, League Cup and Tinpot Trophy).
With that leaving you a number of free weekends and evening games, plus add an addition 4/5 evening games and you should still be able to finish the season at a relatively normal time.

Because they're a bunch of self-interested wankers with no interest in helping out the rest of football? |

Done by computer isn't it? So I'd imagine that's pretty much click the button and off you go? |

Can’t be beyond the wit of man - you could set up a ‘fixture list’ now for next year if you wanted, just use this years league position as placeholders and then drop in teams once the table is finalised And then do a quick manual adjustment at the end so you don’t end up with things like Liverpool and Everton at home on the same day. That’s the bit you probably couldn’t be as thorough about - might have to resort to a lot more instances of moving games to Sunday’s/wednesdays rather than being too clever |

Belgium league is the first to go, starting over again next season.
I firmly believe all leagues and cups will be voided here and across Europe. As soon as the Champs League goes everything under that will fall into line.

Got that wrong, they have declared the season over and final positions will stand.
That would be fine if happened over here!
