    As for finishing the season, it isn't as easy as you make out. You have to comply with UEFA and their fixtures. You have to allow for the rest periods that will be lost. You will throw the transfer market up in the air.
    On a personal front, my club was due to knock down the main stand this summer. God knows whats happening now.
    So it isn't as simple as you are projecting Swale.
    Remember everyone would have to agree and comply.
    The longer this quarantine goes on, ( the signs look like it getting extended) then the odds are the season is gone.
    I can see hear the phrase 'I'll see you in court' becoming well-worn

    I imagine that’ll be the case whichever solution is found, Andy.

    As Jurgen Klopp suggested...’football is the most important of the least important things’...it can’t be that difficult to achieve a fair conclusion, but imo ‘voiding’ the season with so much of it done would be the most unfair.

    Although I'm sure we would agree that football isn't a fraction as important as life and death, and on that basis (and especially after coming across an LUFC thread on facebook yesterday) there would certainly be some elements of the unfairness i could live with
