It could easily be argued to be “morally” right after an accurate calculation of the greater good.

I think it would be better to cancel the 20/21 season if it comes to that. None of those completions have started so no one gets unfairly punished doing that. E.g. if it turned out football cannot re-start until later in the year, maybe just complete the 19/20 season, have a break, could then do the Euros in Spring, Olympics in the summer, and start the 21/22 season on time.
The next one after that is screwed by the WC in Nov/Dec.

The UEFA stance is unsustainable and will flip by summer when the penny finally drops with them.

So, money talks it seems. They are committed to completing season 19/20 to keep the t v cash.
If that is the case and we start, say September 2020 and play the 10 games to settle it, we comfortably do so by December.
Close season until February. Season 2021 runs say to November 2021. The same the following year finishing in time for World Cup 2022.
Then they figure out how to get it back to a season from May to August..... and don’t ask me about the Euros!
What a mess!

Agree with the sentiments. It might take them a bit longer to finally get it though - they're very stubborn when protecting their money, their tournaments and their power.
Given the timescales we are playing with giving up on this season is still the best option on the table
Every other option has a bigger knock on effect seasons after.
The existing 2 ambulances rule, presumably is there to serve emergencies involving both the players on the field, and tens of thousands of spectators.
If games were behind closed doors, I can’t see that the same rule would apply? Maybe a single (private?) ambulance would suffice?
Seems Barber is hinting at June 30th being the cut off

I'm genuinely bored of this now, even though our club's Premier League survival is at stake. I miss football. I want it back but only when the time is right. Debate about when that might be is nothing more than speculation at this point.
I'm applying the same rule as that I use for the transfer window: wake me up when it's over and let me know what happened.

If that's the case, then footie will be going ahead and Wimbledon won't. I can't see how even behind
closed doors this can work, so really just illustrates to me even more that it's all over. Season
voided and start the new season in August/September (or whenever).
Because some Albion fans are desperate to get out of relegation by hook or crook, but never admit that as a motivation.
Tangibly, there is little effect on fans of football whether the next football we see is tagged; season 2019/20, 2020/21 or 2021/22. People are dying daily, yet people get hot under the collar thar club owners for not null and voiding a sporting competition.

to be fair, its football and expressing opinions is half the enjoyment isnt it?
Burnley today revealed that they’ll lose £45m in revenue if this season is never completed. The Albion’s figure would be very similar, so that would be another £45m for TB to find out of his personal pocket. It’s no wonder the owners are determined on this.

It should be.
Everything changes on June 30th. Lots of legal jeopardy with contracts from that point.
