That would lose them any good will from the general public. All they can do it sit tight and hope common sense prevails. I reckon it could be best to finish the season when it's possible, and then reduce next season into another format. Especially if the Euros are next summer.

I'd sooner start next season with everyone on the points they currently have and then play the 38 games rather than reduce next season. I don't see why future seasons should be affected when the Force Majeure happened this season. How can you reduce next season? It would be unfair to only play a team once. Where do you play them, home or away? Or do you play some once and some twice? I just can't see how that could work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under your method, if you start with the same points and everyone played each other twice, some teams would have still played harder games than others.

RickG16 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It comes down to fairness really... how can you just put a line through all last season's performances? If a shorter format means you bring an element of luck into it, that's the same for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 ^Following on your discussion, here's a new video on games and seasons that were abandoned, which may even set precedents for this season. They discuss the seasons before and after WW1 and WW2, they even talk about the 1915 season ManU vs Liverpool match fixing when the two clubs colluded to allow ManU to win and they stay up at Chelsea's expense (almost exactly a century later we have posters from those 2 Red clubs taking the moral highground). Watch it you'll learn a lot. Guy on the left is Dr Gary James, City historian. https://www.patreon.com/posts/free-taster-that-35215957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you've has a stay of execution with CAS probably closed. I can see Pep now in self isolation, plotting his escape plan. (From City that is, not his house).

Bredbury Blue Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 While you're about Ricky, what did you think of your club sending a mischievous letter to CAS. Not very neighbourly is it. Didn't we help keep your club from bankruptcy in 1930s (when you had crowds of 400 apparently), and didn't we let you use our ground when Use Rosler's dad bombed Old Trampford, and didn't we let you use our ground for midweek games when you had no floodlights. I can understand the scousers and the London clubs sticking the knife in but not very nice of Manchester United. Don't come knocking on our door for a cup of sugar in future!

Bredbury Blue Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 While I was looking for what year ManU nearly went bust, I came across this interesting fact: United went through a 37-year long period without a trophy. This was between winning the league in 1910-1911 and the FA Cup in 1947-1948. Almost Spursy! Wonder if City fans went on about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
