Anything that pisses Oliver Holt off is definitely the right course of action to take. Void, void, void it!

OLIVER HOLT: Voiding this season would be a victory for greed and fear
OLIVER HOLT - CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Voiding the Premier League season is not an option that we should even be entertaining. The same applies to all our leagues.
Depends how radical the Prem want to get - I was referring to something like lots being drawn to decide the final matches but I doubt that would happen at all.
They could combine the end of this season into next season (whenever it's allowed to start) and bin the FA Cup and League Cup.
Not saying they will do any of these things - just coming up with ideas - it all depends on their will and the 'need' to complete this season.
This evening Giuseppe Conte spoke to the nation. From 4 May, individual training sessions can resume, and from 18 the professional team training sessions. Tomorrow the decree should come out.
Any news on the season re-starting ?
Officially not, however, if training starts again from 18 May it means that they have calculated the quarantine times for players abroad and a protocol will be formalized shortly. Of course the variable will be the statistics of Covid-19: there must be no second wave otherwise everything will change.
Still need 300 people to have a match behind closed doors. Also teams may not be able to even play in their own stadiums!

The Premier League has calculated it needs a minimum of 300 people for a match to take place behind closed doors.
Of that figure 210 are accounted for, in an official estimate seen by Telegraph Sport, although the exact numbers for directors, club media, security and stewards, ground staff and scoreboard operators are yet to be finally worked out ahead of what is hoped will be a June 8 re-start for the league.

completing the season behind closed doors / with new rules / a game every other day isnt really completing a season imo. Its two separate things, the games in normal conditions are not really comparable to those after, may as well have a game of headers and volleys. Players are a year older, first teams could well be changed with people leaving and youth prospects coming through.
I get the desire to "complete" the season but thats not what will happen, we have the majority of season completed and a mini tournament added at the end.

Given the recent decision to give Wimbledon a miss I think the remainder of the premier league games should be played as football tennis matches.
Loads of courts there ready to Be used. Only need 2 players per team for each match. Could probably finish the season in a week. Maybe 2 if they want to draw it all out.
Be an amazing thing. Who wouldn’t want to watch say Kane and Son v salah and mane. Or Dele and Dier V Luiz and Ozil.
TV ratings gold. Strawberries would be sold. Win win. For the country.

It's becoming very difficult to see how the CL/EL could be conducted next season in its current format. They won't be able to play the qualifying rounds and it's up in the air as to the what the qualifying criteria should be for unfinished leagues.
Looks less and less likely there will be European competitions next season.
Ligue 1 is CANCELLED as PM demands no football is played until August
The seasons of France's Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 are over after league bosses accepted that it would be impossible to complete the season amid the coronavirus pandemic.
French football season will not resume but La Liga has new hope of restart
The French prime minister has said the 2019-20 season will end, but in Spain players could return to training in May
www.theguardian.com
Have they awarded the title?
What about their European qualification and promotion/relegation?
This is actually bad news to me, until a week ago I was hoping it would be cancelled because I thought there was chance it would be voided.
but seeing as there’s basically nochance of it being properly null and void now I would rather restart the season and go for 5th. Otherwise we have no chance of CL next season.
there is no chance the prem will vote in a methodology that see’s us get CL like a null and void or UEFA coefficient ruling would.
