NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Meh. This lot

Reckon you could argue it either way.
Joint statement:
They only care about the economics of it.The Premier League, EFL and PFA met today and discussed the growing seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was stressed that the thoughts of all three organisations continue to be with everyone affected by the virus.
The Premier League, EFL and PFA agreed that difficult decisions will have to be taken in order to mitigate the economic impact of the current suspension of professional football in England and agreed to work together to arrive at shared solutions.
The leagues will not recommence until 30 April at the earliest. They will only do so when it is safe and conditions allow.
Further meetings will take place next week with a view to formulating a joint plan to deal with the difficult circumstances facing the leagues, their clubs, players, staff and fans.
Difficult decisions.
They really don't seem to understand what's going on here, beyond their balance sheets and their cashflow. When this is over, many will not care whether they restart the league or not. This is their chance to change the whole game back to something that was a sport rather than a profit machine. All they will do is focus on finding a way to get their gravy train back on the express line.
Wouldn't surprise me if they take advantage of this situation to dump their shitty Euro league idea on us. Get taxpayer cash to prop-up the rich clubs, stick them all in a Euro league so they can spread viruses more easily, then abandon the little clubs.
For example. NHS staff, the army, emergency services, utility workers, pharmacists, lorry drivers, supermarket staff are all out working to keep the nation moving along.
Where are the PL heroes who kiss the badge? Why haven't they got 22 fit and healthy players together for a match to support a charity, why hasn't Sky TV and the BBC and the rest banded together to televise it for free to cheer people up? Probably hasn't dawned on them. They could choose players who don't have families. They could choose a charity that's directly helping on the ground. They could send a positive message about sport rather than these grubby messages about sticking together to support their disgusting cash mountain.
Fleecing the fans in the good times, abandoning them in the bad. BLITWtbf

'Season could be lost'

Liverpool
Why are they so desperate to avoid calling it based on results as they stand? They won't be restarting. The insurance costs alone disqualifies that possibility. So why does the season have to be "lost" as opposed to ended prematurely due to unforeseeable and insurmountable circumstances?
Für eure Sicherheit
I honestly reckon this season should be called off. Let the record show why it was called off, it'd be a lesson for everyone to remember.
Does Liverpool deserve to be champions? Yes. But sometimes in life you just don't get what you deserve.
There are a lot more logistic to be discussed anyhow, continuing or not.
How many PL players are being furloughed?
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
