Of course some midtable sides would be happy to season to finish now and start afresh in August, makes sense for them. Allowing some teams to forfeit points is comfortably the worst idea I’ve heard for multiple reasons, would never happen

Not to mention teams who would have gone down! But no, forfeiting isn't the answer

Shit is hitting the fan.
‘Senior officials at several League One and League Two clubs have warned the EFL must take drastic action to prevent them going bust amid the coronavirus pandemic.
A growing number of League One and Two owners believe the 2019-2020 season should be cancelled’

Stupid question, but how does cancelling the season help financially?? Surely all contracts still have to be honoured?

I think its so that Prize money can be paid to clubs. I believe that's why Scottish lower league clubs are voting to end the season as is as some of them are very close to going to the wall.

Riggggght. Then surely you need some kind of final standings, rather than a complete right off of the season, to distribute the prize money

Well, yeah. But take Doyle, for example. He’s on, say, £20k per month until the end of June.
Does Power put him on a rolling one month contract but with no idea when this season will actually start.
End it now but with a conclusion of ups and downs. If there’s ever a vote on a proposal, we’re fucked. There’s far more clubs who will either benefit from voiding the season or it makes no difference to than those of us looking at promotion.

Agreed. Presume clubs don't really mean cancelling the season, more like stop as is? As you say, we need to know positions to be able to distribute prize money.

Or the monies are just distributed equally to all clubs in the division.

PL demanding the season is finalised before 30 June before player contracts run out.
