Hi Eds, hope you and your families are keeping well

Was wondering, if the season were to become null and void, would we see any backlash from the clubs who are set to lose out the most? Liverpool, Leicester, Sheff Utd etc, could you see them taking any sort of action against the league? Would it come to anything?

{Ed002's Note - We are well Miike and hope you and your family are as well. I know of no legal basis for taking action and I very much doubt clubs would look to it. Whilst a growing number of clubs want a line drawn across and the season ended there is no common agreement for the way it would be managed. Belgium have followed the Bundesliga proposal that sees a line drawn across for the European placed, two up from the second tier (and down through the leagues), no relegation but four relegated for the following two seasons. If an alternate approach was taken of making the entire season null and void it would simply delete all entries in the formal records for the entire season and it would revert to normal when it is possible to start next season. That begs the question of do we wait until the 55th country is ready to proceed or not? Options such as playing behind closed doors bring the problems that were seen at the last PSG game. Obviously playing out the season in China or Yemen are obviously complete non starters.}

I do not, for one second, think there would be a repeat of what happened at PSG if games were to be played behind closed doors. The world has tilted off its axis since then. There may be the odd mindless moron, but I genuinely don't think it would present a problem.
That said, it all seems so far in the future it's not worth contemplating.

I agree Rome 1977 but how many mindless morons are there? I guess you can't take that chance.
