Premier League postponed, what next?
Hello all, it's me again. I'm trying to post a topic which interested to myself for many years.
Since Premier Leauge postponed, what's the next step should EA (England - Football Association) do?Premier League postponed until June 2020 to re-open the matches of 2020/21. But seems there has stil 9 - 10 games of each team to remain. I'm wondering how should EA deal with it?
Look at the Dutch Eredivisie, has become the major European football to be axed. No Champions, no relegation. Ajax, on the top in the league, have been granted a place in the final play-off round of the Champions League. Second-placed AZ Alkmaar will enter the second qualifying round of the same competition while Feyenoord in third place, will enter the group stages of the Europa League. PSV Eindhoven (fourth) and Willem II (fifth) will enter qualifying for the Europa League.
The French Ligue 1, PSG (Paris Saint-German) have been declared the league title, Lorient have been crowned Ligue 2 champions and will be promoted to the top division with second-place Lens. There has a few of Clubs were upset of the result.
Back to Premier League, if facing axes, then how the teams manage to secure the Champions League places, and Europa League places? Also, some clubs will be facing on billions of pounds fine of sponsors, TV broadcasting fee, if the season fails to finish due to the coronavirus outbreak.
What's in your mind? Let me know your ideas.

It has to be safety first! For the fans, staff at the grounds and players.
I personally think it should be cancelled this year! Many other businesses will suffer money wise. Football is no different really, and shouldn't be treated as so!
But, if people are locked down, then some sport on TV etc could improve their mood, so there is an argument that getting sport back reasonably safely could help people's mental health.
It should be in safety way, so I'm wondering what decision would EFA make. Like the Mayor of Liverpool is hugely against while PL resume.
Imagine even when Liverpool win the PL title with no audience in Anfield, but still there will have plenty of Liverpool fans celebrate outside of Anfield....
