Europe is fast becoming the epicenter of this outbreak so its only natural that UEFA should take a central role. I can see UEFA null and voiding the whole season europe wide as the individual leagues feed into their system regards who competes for the UEFA trophies and if a club side decides to go to CAS then the whole competition will grind to a halt while that issue is sorted out. In short I think UEFA need to make the case to suspend the leagues and reset to last seasons standings when European competition opens again So why can confederations be treated differently but not national associations?

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Zero chance of this season being completed and the only thing to do is to start the season again from scratch once it is safe to do so. Peak is defined by the number of new infections. Not that the virus has been beaten this is merely a measure of the effectiveness of lockdown. Relax restrictions too soon and back it comes. My best guess is that we get a half season starting no earlier than December. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaalmac 728 11 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 First contribution to the Forum. I reckon that whatever Cowdenbeath say should be the barometer of how titles are dished out in future...... They are sitting pretty in their table (4th), with no chance of relegation, and an outside chance of getting up via the playoffs. Wonder how they would feel if they were rock bottom, and with a chance of getting punted out of the league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

raging blue 1972 894 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 here is the perfect sollution 1. top divisions in each country null and void to maintain sporting integrity (each country can decide on their lower leagues / reconstruction etc) 2. this years champions league and europa league cancelled with all monies due split evenly amongst the 16 teams left in each competition (results / coefficients stand as knockout competition) 3. next years champions league and europa league shortened with no preliminary rounds / playoffs and the 16 teams left in this years competitions compete in next years competitions. 4. the wee diddy 2nd europa league thing is shelved all happy except celtic and liverpool - awe well, can't please everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siamthedanger 2,855 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Whatever the outcome let's not forget our players utterly shat the bed again this season and hopefully the majority of them will be out of the door over the summer.

Gascoigne8 3,378 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 3 hours ago, The Dude said: So why can confederations be treated differently but not national associations? National associations will take action in the best interests of their club members. Eg celtic crowned champs as it saves a lot of hassle like windows getting tanned etc. Confederations have to take a "whole of the market" approach and what is right for ALL the member associations under their remit. Thats why you have confederations, either that or you have 500 clubs all across Europe thinking they have the same rights But you know this as you are not daft but this kinda cuts down the fun you have been having on here.

There's no solution that is right across the board for nations either. Although UEFA have since confirmed it will be left down to national associations: "It's not a matter for us, it will be up to each league to decide. "The only issue concerns those players who have contracts or loans expiring on June 30 but that isn't a matter for UEFA, which will only ask for the list of teams that will participate in the next European competitions by a certain date."

So now the SPFL can declare their winner without needing UEFA approval. When that happens, you will be coming on here smugly saying " I told you so" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
