Its debatable if next season starts

Unless the season can be completed within a reasonable timescale it will need to be declared null & void.

 

I’d suggest the end of May would be the time by which the season would need to be completed because players will be ending their contracts & being released.

 

I read today that La Liga have stated Barcelona will not be given the title despite being top of the league if the games don’t  restart. 

The tattie howkers have no shame .

and what happens if there is no more football until the middle of September or later 

We have rollovers in the lottery so just roll the league over European places go to the same as last season ?

Hearts players and staff have been asked to take an remarkable 50% wage-cut as the coronavirus crisis bites.

The Tynecastle club’s owner, Ann Budge, has taken the cost-cutting steps amid financial fears and released a statement on Wednesday evening: “In order to try to prevent a staff redundancy programme and to protect as many jobs as possible, I am proposing to implement a club-wide salary reduction programme.

“We have asked all full-time employees, managers, coaches, players and player back-room staff, with effect from the beginning of April, to accept a 50% cut in their monthly salary.

“Staff and players alike, who feel unable or unwilling to accept this revision to their contracts, will, of course, be offered the option of contract termination.”

In a remarkable statement, two more caveats were added: “No-one’s full-time salary will fall below the living wage,” continued Budge. “In other words, if the 50% reduction would take anyone’s salary below this threshold, the full-time salary will be set at 18,135.

“Given the uncertainty of the whole situation with which we have been presented, we cannot say how long these measures will be in place. We will, of course, be continuously reviewing the situation.”

More clubs to follow ?

Pity all that's happened Sheffield and Wolves were going well and who knows they might have qualified for Europe

I still expect the SPFL to play their expected part and award the title to Celtic. Despite all the many valid reasons why they shouldn't, we all know how Scottish football works and unfortunately it's a closed shop where decisions don't require justification and can't really be challenged. 

That's fine then Rangers should be awarded the 1939/40 title as we were on top a point ahead of Falkirk 

Let's not judge a book by its cover

no one has the guts just to declare the season over if it keeps getting worse then maybe the government will make that decision for them .

Just a quick post to shut down the stories about Alfie being over weight and carrying a bit of timber , well he just came into the gym I use on the Southside , not far from Ibrox and a short walk from where he stays .

 

This boy is ripped and is carrying no excess body fat .

A bit like myself then ?

This is worrying and should alarm every concerned Rangers fan. I mean, he's clearly got the money, he's a lifelong Rangers man, he's got the corporate experience ....... but Paisley? ?

the Paisley angle is worrying it reminds me of the old joke , how do you make a Paisley omelette first you borrow two eggs 

If the UEFA cup is scrapped due to this virus will the still pay out prize money as the competition wasn't completed,  will our own SPL pay out as well ???

The food at Ibrox has always been dreadful I wouldn't feed our labradoodle with it

How many people will be prepared to renew season tickets this year? Most will want to, some won't be able to, many will have other priorities.

If the season is over and we get back to normal come August which is questionable I wonder if we will get a discount on the new tickets , I wont hold my breath

The EPL is now suspended till first week of April - and the suspension could be extended beyond even that..... so it becomes ever more difficult to see the season being able to be completed.  

 

Null and void HAS to be the only choice - you cannot hand a title to a team just because they are 16 points ahead (13 if we win our game in hand) with so many points still on the table.  If we were to win the two remaining OF games that deficit is 7 points - not insurmountable - just ask Marvin Andrews.....

 

They can't award them the title - doing so would add the biggest of asterisks ever in the game.

 

Sadly (and I say this as an Arsenal fan with no real love of Liverpool), the same has to be said of Liverpool because, presently, they aren't mathematically guaranteed to win the league - they only need one more win I believe and no doubt would get it.... but if it is mathematically possible for them to be caught then they cant be awarded the title.

As its mathematically possible that we could catch them make them share next year's champions league money 

Listening to some of the doctors/scientists yesterday they dont expect this virus to peak until August that's usually when seasons start , so draw a line under this season and just declare it void .

Beats me why it takes our players three  four and five passes to move the ball from wing to wing.
