UK will lockdown soon too I guess.

I can easily work from home but so far my employer hasn’t told me to... with the current UK govt advice I have to do what my employer says.

Imagine this had happened last year, still have the scars from 2003.

Lombardy and my city which is quite close to Lombardy had a decent/better number (fewer new cases) today than yesterday,
let's hope this continues the next key days, means lockdown would work like in China

Germany is now (finally) also going in lockdown, after Italy, Spain, Belgium, France and Holland.
Now all that is left is the UK....

All travel and socialising to be avoided in UK. We will be in full lock down soon. I think they’ve tried to to a bit a day to avoid social unrest and panic.

Not sure what your issue is, you were trolling, or whatever it was and I asked you to explain or delete your work. Subsequently your posts dissapear, now this?

Whatever happens they will find a method to complete at least the domestic season, even if they delay next years. Promotion to the PL for example is worth 20/30 mil per club. The litigation surrounding an abandoned season would be (like covid 19) unprecedented.

I understand what you're saying but I can't see how, and that's not how they're starting to talk here now.  The player's union have said there will be no games played behind closed doors so it rules that out.  Some players contracts will be up in May too so the games would have to be played before then.  Last time anything like this happened was during WWII and even then the league was completed, just not officially counted.
I think we can say in times like these, that shit matters jack shit

Nothing wrong with discussing it I think.  England and most leagues in Europe are run by TV money but most clubs in Scotland survive week to week basically on gate receipts, even in the Premiership, so this will have a dramatic effect on football with a knock-on effect to associated businesses such as catering, local pubs, transport etc.

Far more businesses and people outside the football business are being affected. Totally irrelevant

I don't agree it's "totally irrelevant."  Aside from things I've already mentioned it provides an entertainment to millions and a good social experience to those who attend the games.  If a few businesses go down the tubes it probably won't affect me the way this will, but I won't call them irrelevant.

Football discussion over. :-X
