Whatever happens, I don’t think there’s any chance Liverpool will be denied the title, either they win it by default or the season is done behind closed doors. As I’ve said all along though, the funny part is actually them winning it to no fanfare.

Honourary Champions.
How prestigious.
I wonder if Liverpool fans would even want to be handed the title. Someone is going to have suck it up at some point though no matter what happens.

Clubs to discuss a 30 June deadline.
I wonder how long it will take for them to accept reality.
It's probably a share price and sponsorship thing. If investment starts fleeing the sport the gravy train runs a high risk of leaving the tracks. Sport is likely to be one of the last industries to get out of lockdown. Money might go elsewhere in the meantime.
Für eure Sicherheit
It is telling that if you look at that all the reasons for the deadline are about contracts running out, sponsorship deals expiring.
All business stuff.
Nothing about the actual sport or the fans.
I'd just finish the season now and let those qualify for Europe as they are now. If we can get any games in I'd leave the top 3 and then have a playoff for 4th between the other for teams (like the playoffs in the Championship with a semi final and final). I think the teams below 7th don't deserve to qualify for the CL based on performance anyway.
Other than that I'd try and finish the CL as well if possible.
Burn it all down
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
