How will European football sort out the Coronovirus fixture cancellation?
They had to do this to stop mass gatherings and when the Arsenal head coach has been diagnosed positive, you have to isolate the players too.
This creates huge logostical probkems because we are three quarters the way through a crowded srason. Unless we are back up and running in three weeks (highly unlikely) then a weird solution will have to be found.
Some have talked about moving the European Championship international tournament forward to next summer, which would maybe allow the club teams more time to finish the season but what if the lock down lasts a few months?
You could keep the results as they stand as existing league tables though that would deny teams in contention the chance to get promotion, avoid relegation or win a title. You could cancel the season results but that would be even worse and mean lots of work has been for nothing. Liverpool have waited thirty years for a league title and are miles top of the premiership, for example. Though if results stand, teams have had less time to compete. There is no really fair or easy answer.
