If it goes behind closed doors I think that would suit us better with no external pressure on our passing game we should see a lot of teams off

Yes, illegal. The Bosman ruling means players can walk away at the end of contract, and contract changes need all parties to agree.https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...yer-contracts-and-transfer-windows-be-changed
"Internal document says contracts should end when season does"
Guess it would work out if that came true, Sounds very illegal though, but havent stopped them before.
Also, if star players at for example Chelsea walk away at contract end on June 30th, then that is a massive advantage to West Ham, Watford and Norwich.Again, whilst this is speculation, this makes a mockery of the league and puts us at a significant disadvantage. Having played Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal away we would lose our home advantage by playing these games behind closed doors. If they can't complete the season under the same terms as before (and already players returning from injury etc gives some teams an advantage they wouldn't have had) then they should just bin it. And that's before you consider the logistical and moral issues of having emergency services etc present for a behind closed doors match. Play in front of a full crowd or not at all.
Surely It has to be decided before then . The make up of next years prem has to be known so as to work out fixtures for next season starting August.
actually I would fear for the Albion in those circumstances. After a long lay off, we would need a pre season to get going again. I worry that we would not pick up the momentum and lose matches. Anyway , with more and more players going down with it how are teams to field teams?
