There is ample room for legal action if the season is cancelled. 
 

“'It would leave the Premier League open to claims, in my view, from a relegated club in particular who would have an arguable claim against them on the ground that they have breached their own rules by ending a season before all the fixtures have been fulfilled,' James Severn, sports and litigation partner at Penningtons Manches Cooper.”

 

Legal actionable to end a season before all fixtures completed. 

Yes, the relegated Clubs .

As you dont seem to be able to type much, can you post links to what you think about the legal issues with not relegated clubs ?

Stick the current position into a football sim and work it through to the end. Job done.

My thought as well with "her" club down near the relegation zone!

Read the links I posted and do your own research. 
 

Clubs will take action if money is involved.

Does the pools panel still exist? I haven't heard of it for a very long time.

Clubs will whinge whichever way they jump. I have no idea how they'll proceed but looking at the tables at the 9, 18 & 27 game point (ie 25, 50 & 75% of the season) might provide the decision makers with insight as to how the season might end.

I agree with Bluespunk that the best solution is for EUFA to cancel the Euro competition.

Not only will it give the EPL more time to finish the season but it could also allow the Champions & Europa cups to be played out.

In that scenario, the summer transfer window would need a new set of dates.

Hello, Hello, we are the Millwall Boyz
Hello, Hello, we are the Millwall Boyz
And if you are a west ham fan
Surrender or you'll die
We all follow the Millwall
 

See ya in the Championship 

Not the most inspiring footy song. The awesome "Sunshine on Leith" is my team's song, but I do have a soft spot for the Jags (Partick Thistle) who respond to being surrounded by Gers and Celts in Weegie land, with this gem.

Hello hello, how do you do, we hate the boys in royal blue, 

We hate the boys in emerald green, so **** your Pope, and ***** your Queen.

Very even handed I would say!

[Thingamabob]

I think all the EPL, Championship and League 1 and 2 fixtures should be played no matter how long they are delayed. Drop all cup fixtures, and hopefully ban the League Cup forever.

Meanwhile down in the national League south, the mighty wealdstone are 3 points clear 

at the top with a game in hand, they managed to play yesterday and drew at Chippenham.

 

Talk around the league is that the season will be declared null and void therefore no

promotion back to the national League after 30 years in the the Isthmian and other 

crappy leagues, there is some hope among fans that the league tables should stand 

as more than 75% of games have been completed.

 

I don't see that happening as the whole football pyramid would have to align abs and as

any team being relegated on these terms would rightly feel hard done by. It sucks, but so

does being a wealdstone fan for the most part!

Just declare the season over if on 4 April the decision is made to continue the suspension.  All teams in the relegation zone stay in the EPL.  Those in the lower league do not move up.  Liverpool is crowned the champion which is really just a formality.

It is hard to imagine that there is not a "force majeure" clause in whatever contractual agreements the league has with the various clubs. It is inserted in the commonest of contracts these days.

Exactly!  There is no reason for this competition.  The FA Cup is enough.

Shut up!! UFC has just held and event in Brasil without fans. I suggest the PL does the same. Give the folks sitting at home some enjoyment and entertainment. Get the season over and done with in empty stadiums.

Players will refuse to play.

In September 1939, shortly after World War II was declared, most football competitions in the UK were declared null and void and abandoned. They didn't start again afresh until after the war. So they may have to do the same this year. Hard luck Liverpool.

Well Man Utd fans are all for it, stating that Liverpool have waited 30 years for a League title, another 30 years won't matter.

 

If Liverpool were given the title as IMO they should, they will never live it down from the terraces, as the opponents will always remind them it wasn't really won.

[CraigInBangkok]

Good for Chelsea ... We probably would've qualified for Champions League with our juniors which was better than I was hoping for. So it'll be nice to get some new players in the summer and start a proper season. Of course the real bonus in all this would be Liverpool missing out on the title... again ... Demba ba ha ha
