    But finish the season via a points average or maybe a panel to do the results, either way we get a resolution without all the agro.
    Have normal promotion and relegation based on the final tables.
    Then concentrate on next season.
    It is the obvious (and fairest) thing for the EFL to do. The EFL should now get on with it, instead of waiting for the Premier League to make a decision, which is mainly based on the vast amounts of money involved in that division.

    Exactly Exile!
    Being specific, where is the integrity in contriving to finish the season in neutral grounds behind closed doors but deciding many of the results will be meaningless now because there is no risk of relegation?
    Quite a few of the clubs in the bottom third of the Premier League will have nothing to play for so why should they risk key players or even put much effort in?
    Only teams trying to get into the top 6 will be motivated but they could end up playing teams who couldn't care less and just want to get to the end of the crazy farce without anyone getting ill or dying.
    But hey, it's football and money comes first, as always.....so what's the problem? 🤬

    Lol just has I expected from Prem

    A larger 23-team division has been suggested, with three teams added from the Championship. But with an already-crowded calendar, that is not an option currently being considered by the Premier League.

    They'll soon be down to suggesting that the Premiership will be decided through a Subbuteo tournament, live on Sky obviously

    End season now incl' premiership as it stands now. Cause there's no play-offs 2 up 2 down apart from league 2 & National league 3 up to even EFL up. It's a National crisis so any appeals against that it's not a football decision it's a saving as many lives as we can decision.

    Or......perfect solution.
    Finish the season via FIFA 20, one player from each club will represent that club in all their remaining fixtures.
    You could even have play-offs and the FA cup, all done from safety of their living rooms.
    Plus the games could be streamed live on tinterweb, surely no worse than some of the ideas kicking around.
