If this season is to finish it will be rapid anyway. 2 games a week g so five weeks to finish season and while European and Cup competitions complete that is when you fit in the playoffs. None of this benefits us by the way as I can't see squad coping but then few probably will.
Ultimately there is no way we are playing in April or May - this will be the peak across UK and europe. Likelihood we will play through the summer months with 2020 euros cancelled until 2021 - July and August more likely. New season being pushed back until late september/early October.
Obviously this throws up issue of out of contract players but they have time to sort that out - how, I do not know.
There will also be a way that they work all this around the 2022 winter world Cup.
Obviously, the whole thing is pure speculation and if this virus does untold damage for months then who knows what the future holds
Yep, generally agree with all of that.
Realistically the sporting competition can only resume when all clubs have access to all players. It'd be incredibly unfair if the playoffs were lost because one team had half its playing staff unavailable.
Its just a nightmare scenario with no clear and fair way ahead.
