    End this season
    BUT
    Next season start as it is now. For example Liverpool on whatever points they are on ssme wi every other team but still play a full season.
    So for example Liverpool could possibly reach 200+ points next season and still have a good chance of winning league
    Same wi Football League. Start all teams on points they are on now but play another 46 games.

    It may seem a daft Idea but at least teams who have something to play for still have a chance of doing it

    That's the fairest simplest way but I don't think the football authorities are looking at this as an option.

    That’s a good idea tbh. A handicap system from the start of next season (whenever that is) might just be the fairest way.

    I do think they need to finish the current season when it is safe to do so, but quite what that does for the next season I don't know.

    I wonder they could split each division in half, in the EFL if not the PL, and have a season with mini-leagues of 12, making it easier to fit games into a shorter season?

    For example, the top 12 in the Championship play each other home and away, total of 22 games, top 2 or 3 promoted to the PL. Those from the bottom 12 play likewise, but the bottom 2 or 3 then relegated. Same principle for Leagues one and two.

    Then rejoin everything up for the start of what would be the normal 21/22 season.

    I also think it would be sensible to suspend the FA Cup and League Cup until 21/22 purely on the basis of allowing time to realign the league programme.

    FA cup can be a financial lifeline for clubs. Two seasons I thought it is a lot.

    Fair comment. Be nice if the authorities ensured all clubs were helped out, there's enough money in the game. Unfortunately the majority is ring fenced for 20 clubs.

    sponsors wouldn’t be happy. The only outcome of this will be to keep sky happy.

    It's a very complex issue, that may also depend on the circumstances in European leagues. With qualification for European competitions to decide, everything has a domino effect.

    I agree. If one set of leagues is cancelled then I don't see how the other leagues can't follow suit unless the primary motivation is financial. It could create a legal minefield.
