Forget the fact that playing behind closed doors could have an unfair impact on results, we now have the situation where teams are actually compromised with regards players, training and organisation.
Apparently, Arsenal have a few players & staff in a short Isolation period, which means their preparation for a game that could impact the relegation will be disrupted. Totally unfair on other teams as well as Arsenal Themselves in their challenge for Europe.
This honestly has nothing to do with stopping Liverpool from winning the title. |  | | |  |

Good point, but in all honesty, without wishing to make light of it all, isn't this just sauce for the goose? Like injuries, the odds are even as to which clubs get hit most. It is just luck. |  |

If you’d got your fan on the board status back in 2007 you could have been promoted to fan on the premier league board by now and given them your insight. | |

Yes and we would also have had a football club that listened to it's fans over the last 13 years |  |

Their open top bus parade around empty streets with the players in Hamzat suits would be quite amusing. |  |

Just end the season now and completely void all results.
Start again from scratch in August with Man City as reigning champions.
Pomps can go for the Boycotted Trophy again next season, due to retaining their Div 3 status.
Leeds stay down.
Seems by far the fairest outcome to me. |  |

And we may be able to learn how to buy a defender or 3 in the upcoming transfer windows |  | | |

Great. We'd have a squad of 90 players, a 55,000 stadium everyone paying a tenner to get in and getting free beer all game, Cortese would still be here and Jack Stephens would be playing for England. | |

Agree with this, and whilst at it, lets cancel contracts on some of the players we signed. | | | |

I will bet my house that tens of thousand of scruffs turn up outside Anfield for the next Liverpool match if it’s played behind closed doors, because it’s all about them. | | | |

Course they will and the media will lap it up, brave Liverpool fans risking DEATH to show their loyalty to their special club. | |

In my role for BUSINESS i work with the EFL and have been in on conference calls with them this morning, these are the scintillating highlights of that call,
As much as it shouldn't the decision on saturday is coming down to if the league can sort streaming out in time. Premier League want to have games behind closed doors but the EFL aren't ready and are worried about loss of revenue.
Lots of pressure from players agents to suspend (especially in the Premier League), lots of pressure from chairman below the championship to keep it as normal as gate receipts are so important to their survival.
EFL's websites can support streaming for clubs at the moment but they've never tested in the volume they expect if it happens and don't think it's realistic for the weekend.
Expect some sort of announcement later today. |  | | |

Surely all the games could be streamed on amazon as free to air for one weekend? As this is no time for paywalls.
Amazon would easily have the bandwidth for that. The usual generic commentators will already be at the games anyway. | |

The EFL already has it's own streaming service that it wants to use for it, there's no way they're giving over that revenue to another party like Amazon when they can lock people into their own services.
No idea about the premier league but my guess would be they'd struggle as sharing who has/hasn't bought tickets to an international company like Amazon or Sky would be a data protection nightmare. | | | |

But they’re completely misreading the public mood then. They need to realise that football is an opium for the masses, and it’s not a time for creating revenue streams. The premier league should just hand over the streams from the 3pm games to Amazon or YouTube or any other service that gives free streaming at scale. Fück trying to make money out of Coronavirus. I don’t understand the data protection thing, as the streams should be free for everyone. [Post edited 12 Mar 2020 14:27]
