Nameless I think we’ll not see the rest of the games played. Even going behind closed doors is problematic if teams have players ill.
If it is cancelled then promotion and relegation have to be declared null and void. Titles should still be awarded to teams currently top. I hope no one is top by virtue of having played an extra game....

You cant stop it for 2 months.....its crazy......Many players wont have trained properly still, the virus may still be around and some players may contract it late, theres going to be some very bitter club owners and fans after this......
No easy way around this is there and some very difficult decisions to be made, May/June could well be converted into June/July, add the three month normal summer break and we are talking October for the next season. , that just impossible with `pre-seson preperation and trying to get all fixtures in before May 2021, give us a clue how to get out of tis unprecendended shitfest?
This. I would expect that the league seasons around Europe would resume mid May and finish end of June.
Euros could then be postponed until next summer.
Maybe season 20/21 to begin in September
Perhaps we might see no replays in FA Cup games next season and extra games like the Super Cup and World Club Championship suspended. Perhaps also the Nations League could be suspended to reduce the number of international breaks so as league seasons can finish by mid May and all should then be on target for the Euros.
Just have to wait and see though - plenty of discussion to be had on what might or might not be done, might even find everything back in April after all

When is the Confederations Cup being played?
Typically it is the summer before a World Cup which would make delaying the Euros farcical as several of the best teams would have to withdraw. But with the existing Qatar farce, it might be being played in the winter. In which case does the summer contract to create a winter break or will we have an ACoN/Asia Cup situation where clubs have to put up with losing their players?
My idle speculation is that the Euros either go ahead more or less as planned, or they are cancelled outright.
Old Man Andrewselreygenome Reading the BBC article today, a medical expert said that the virus isn't hugely potent outside and that sporting events are relatively safe
Question is, why would anyone actually risk it?
Because the majority of the population aren't massive pussies.

But it would seem some people are complete idiots.
But then I see complete idiots on a daily basis in China, and I know the virus spread because of complete idiots who are also not very hygienic.
All of my family in the UK are susceptible to the coronavirus, either they could die, or could see an immediate member of the family die. If being a pussy is not wanting my whole family wiped out, then oxf*rd you, I'm a pussy.
SpaghettiHoop Has anyone considered the effect on FFP of the virus and shutdown? Many clubs will post losses which are not the consequence of bad financial management. What if they exceed the £39 million loss threshold?
Will the EFL punish owners for funding these losses?

What exactly was the point of the Confederations Cup? There’s a World Cup so why on earth would you waste time with a tournament comprising confederation champions, you’d either have one or the other, not both.
Not that that question really matters now anyway as didn’t FIFA abolish the Confederations Cup tournament last year owing to the increased numbers in the World Cup finals?
However I believe there are plans to start a Club World Cup held over the summer months at some point in the future.

Zip It’s potentially very messy. There remains the prospect of the games being played behind closed doors just to bring the season to a conclusion. I don’t like the idea of points being carried over to next season.
