    That doesn’t make any sense.
    In terms of all the records the results and goals would surely still stand.
    The games still happened.
    It’s just when it comes to handing out trophies and relegation and promotions although I can see litigation about that rumbling on for years

    Yeah it would be the consequences of the league table that would be voided.

    All results gone before are official, it's just not enough to complete the season.

    You can't just make everything void. As pointed out, you'd have to change the real career records of every player to imaginary ones. Abandonment is the only way they can go if they can't get things started again. Declare every remaining game a draw (which would be accurate for us), and then ditch relegation and promotion for this season. Or get the old pools panel in, remember them? We could have a strictly impartial group like Jermaine Penis, Danny Murphy and Tony Gale.

    If you made everything a draw then Liverpool win the title based on merit.

    And ban Qatar's world cup while we're at it, because that was an even shittier idea than coronavirus.

    There's no comparison - liverpool fans caused two big disasters, resulting in significant loss of life, but want everyone to feel sorry for them. We've done no such thing but still regularly get a bum deal from the powers that be.

    The legal proceedings that clubs would chase would not be straightforward for them not least of all for the reason NQ mentioned in the other thread. What has led to whatever resolution is used is contractually a 'force majeur' and so exceptional circumstances mean they cannot be deemed to have been categorically contractually wronged.

    Well. One of those they didn’t cause.

    Do we, though?
    Bearing in mind that fans of literally ever club feel that they are uniquely hard done by by referees/the media/the FA and that other clubs are always favoured.

    We can’t all be right, can we?

    And you'd hope, considering the unprecedented scale and potential cost in human lives, they might for once forget about cash and just accept this is bigger than rules and regulations and contracts. Literally outside the control of anyone to do anything about it.

    You'd hope they might behave that way.

    Same as you'd hope for world peace and justice for all. In vain.

    I think you know which one.
    But given that

    in April 2016, the jury at the new inquests determined that the 96 people were unlawfully killed by the gross negligence manslaughter of the South Yorkshire police officer in command, Ch Supt David Duckenfield, to a criminal standard of proof.
    (Source https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...straught-again)

    I’m going to say that one.
    The dude admittedly was not convicted, but still.
