Coronavirus and football.

[Ram59]

I see there’s going to be a ‘CGI Grand National’ next week.

Given how dependent this will be on performance based information gathering it’s surely not beyond the wit and wisdom of the authorities to use the types of information/algorithms that can be gathered from the season so far to resolve this football season.

For clubs like Liverpool and, at the other end of the spectrum, South Shields, the abandonment of this season would be grossly unfair.
There are other near certainties - Bolton and Stevenage being relegated for example. For the rest...Euro qualification...much more closely contested promotion, relegation and top six matters it may be less satisfactory but if cricket and now horse racing can use technology in this way then surely so can football.

Better than writing off all the games played so far imo...although I doubt Ms. Brady will agree.

The trouble is RA, no solution is 'fair'. As in investing money, past performance isn't a guarantee of future returns and other clubs who suffer as a result, will take the league to court.

The only existing rule that I can see that can't be argued against is that, any club who doesn't fulfill their fixtures, have their results nullified. If no teams fulfill their fixtures, then all previous results will be nullified.
