    Everything obviously depends upon when football can be safely played and, relevantly for us, when spectators can also show up in numbers to watch, but my opinion would be to definitely finish the remaining fixtures for this season as scheduled and then devise "something else" for the 2020/2021 season where everyone knows what's happening beforehand.

    If the full league structure could be completed in the time logically available, then that would be what everyone would prefer.

    If there is less time, then maybe a version where teams only play each other once might work?

    Split leagues (top half/bottom half) based on positions at mid-season?

    All manner of weird league/cup competitions could work as a stopgap.

    Can't imagine everyone would be happy though...

    There is no way in the world that the games will recommence. On top of leagues, you have cups not finished euro games still to be played
    Qualifiers to catch up on so on. A string can only run for so long and then runs out. On top of that financially clubs will suffer greatly and there won't be a way back for a lot of clubs, not just some.
    People are still locked up, food is in short supply (i can't even find a bag of dry beans anywhere)prices will skyrocket and people will starve if they're not already dead from the virus.
    And here we are worried about football?
    My thoughts standings stand as limited games are left and tough luck to those that miss out. The real question would be can the next season progress?
