DeadLinesman Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Quote Liverpool could be denied their first ever Premier League title should the domestic season be cut short by coronavirus. Jurgen Klopp’s relentless winning machine equalled a domestic record on Monday by registering a 19th consecutive victory, moving to within four wins of claiming the prize which has evaded them since 1990. The rapid spread of the virus has already had ramifications in Italy where several Serie A fixtures have been postponed, or been played behind closed doors, while next week’s scheduled Six Nations clash between Ireland and the Azzurri has been postponed. According the Daily Telegraph, there is no Premier League legislation in place relating to the season being curtailed and crisis talks would ensue were the Government to intervene and cancel all sporting events in the country for up to two months. Denying Liverpool the title would undoubtedly cause major uproar but the Premier League would face a difficult decision were they to declare the Reds as champions and, at the same time, relegate the three teams currently in the drop zone. Newcastle United have already banned shaking hands between players and staff at their training ground, while Tottenham screened journalists before Jose Mourinho’s pre-match press conference.

Mpache Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Just give them the title. In Chile the league was stopped early and they gave the team in 1st the league outright.
The Artful Dodger Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 All the right-wing press are genuinely hoping this happens, that's how anti-Liverpool the press is here. Jesus.
Dr. Gonzo Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Is this the real reason United signed that lad from China?
Dr. Gonzo Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Just now, CityTheBest said: And they declare it null and void and give City the title for not spreading the disease? Sounds good to me. I think there's a few titles from 2014 onward that should be declared null and void for financial doping, personally.
Dr. Gonzo Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Have Chelsea also been caught making fraudulent financial statements?
Dr. Gonzo Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Lol what planet are you living on? Here on earth, this is the last 5 years of spending in our league: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/fuenfjahresvergleich/wettbewerb/GB1
The Artful Dodger Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 He's obviously either a WUM or a simpleton, no point engaging.

Weird World? That guy was mental as fuck. Him and Voice of Reason were two of the most toxic trolls I've ever encountered on the internet tbh.
The Artful Dodger Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 He wasn't toxic, he was a laugh. Knew how to push buttons, people need to relax a bit more on these forums. I'd rather have toxic but intelligent than some of the terrible, shit posts we get on here.
DeadLinesman Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 The Premier League would just make everyone play in empty stadiums. So no change for Man City then.

Jesus. Interesting. What team do the Murdoch rags drum up support for? A lot of Liverpool FC alumni on the tele as well, Carragher, Rush, and Sousness come to mind.

It's why I've wanted Teso gone for the longest time. He's the most toxic user I've encountered on any website. Twitter, Facebook, Forums you name it. I can't believe people wanted him to stay when he was clearly a scumbag full of xenophobia, and homophobic. Meanwhile I don't mind the likes of Happy Blue who we know are trolling for kicks. He also knows a lot but would rather take the piss. He's a friendly troll and isn't posting vile. I don't mind those.
Mpache Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Anyways I walked into this topic to say when Swine Flu broke out, they played the games in Mexico particularly behind closed doors. If we must cancel leagues though (which I doubt) give the title to whoever is in first. That's what they did in Chile thanks to the protests of last year.
Danny Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Regardless of who you support and why this would actually be hilarious, Liverpool haven’t won a league title in 30 years? They’ve come close a couple of times but either fucked it or just bettered by who actually won it, have only lost one league game this season and are looking to win it by a landslide. Coronavirus ending the season rendering any achievements null and void would genuinely be hilarious, not just because of the back story behind this title win...but also because it’d mean the one season Leeds do enough to get promoted they’d be fucked too
