I think you can look at it 2 ways.
Pessimistic = no chance no way no safety no hope
Optimistic = I am standing with 200 people at the supermarket. Have been for a month. We aren't all dead yet.
If people in Tesco's and Walmart can still have to go to work with each other everyday and be around the PUBLIC MASSES then I am sure there is a way they can test 30 people and have a fairly well controlled situation.
For me the problem arises if they make a focal point for fans to gather around. Like in pubs before (now it would round a friends with Sky or something)
That's why they need to be free to air, to discourage a premiere restart party around peoples houses.
TV is running out of shows they can make about Covid19 and its affect on X or Y

See there is a "project restart"
and there's the money too.

But with the English top-flight facing an eye-watering estimated loss of £1 billion ($1.25 billion) if no more football is played, there is a huge incentive to play the 92 remaining games if feasible.
The Premier League also appears to have the support of the government in Britain, which now has the third-highest death toll in the world from COVID-19.
Speaking in parliament last week, Oliver Dowden, Britain's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, said he had been in talks with league chiefs over getting football up and running again.

IMHO, It's a no brainier to restart the league by June, with no clear cut measures on curbing the Covid-19 spread.
As you've pointed out, there are solely motivated by the bottom, and a restart would simply there is no regard for the public health or players welfare, in as much as they get to fulfill their TV Rights obligations.
I miss football and would love to see it return, but not when it's not safe at all.

On the other hand, there is talk of a great economic loss of great concern, it is not easy because health must prevail for all.

The same situation that we are undergoing right now is going to happen in autumn.
There will be very danger for the public health at that period of time as well.
If leagues will not start now - then I am sure that next seasons are not going to start on time as well.

The Premier League season is hanging by a thread as pressure is mounting on the premier league organisers regarding players safety, and for this they’re planning to declare the results of the players within 48 hours which is a positive development in my personal opinion. Furthermore there’re concerns between various clubs to play at rivals grounds as they fear they’ll loose their home ground advantage, and this is a big concern which need to be addressed before this season can begin once again.

German League to restart in a couple of weeks
Italian League planning to restart
EPL teams supposedly returning to training in a couple of weeks
The German government is still working on this time to continue the Bundesliga match and as such in the future they will make the right decision.Italian League planning to restart
EPL teams supposedly returning to training in a couple of weeks
Hopefully there are no obstacles at that moment.
It is still rumored whether the Italian league will continue because covid19 there is indeed worst right now but maybe if the security is so tight this season it can be resumed.
Hear news like that that the club from EPL will soon practice, hopefully this will quickly start the EPL season.
LaLiga there is no clear info.
300 people a game makes sense a bit, you are underestimating the number of staff required for a team, between two teams it will be just 30+ people of players, with staff of coaches and trainers and physios and so forth they are going to have at least another 30-40 people there, and their employees as well, like assistants and so forth, and then you have stuff like from bus driver to maintenance at the stadiums to security and many other stuff, you can't just keep the players in stadium with 5 security, people will swarm there, so that means a lot of security as well.
So, 300 makes sense for each game. However I agree that travelling is not making any sense, since there is no fans watching there, there is really no home court, so maybe they could pick one place and play there.

Premier league seems to be one of the latest championships that is going to be continued.
In my opinion, players are going to start trainings at least the individual ones in the near future but the games are going to start again probably end of May - start of June.

At least it gives us something to look forward to in these boring times. I think I’m going made stuck in the house.
Man, does anyone else thinks that if Man City were the league leaders, the PL would've been canceled a long time ago? Mostly because a lot of teams would've pushed for it being voided since everyone hates City and petrodollars winning silverware 
They can just use the same 'ol route, i mean, this isn't Chernobyl, or it's not like the bus is gonna pick someone randomly in the middle of road.
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/apr/29/premier-leagues-project-restart-what-is-it-and-is-it-feasible
Ok, this is just dumb. A "sterile route"? Really now? Quote
That is thought to include plans for players and officials being placed in lockdown at nominated hotels for up to six weeks. Each one would then travel to the stadium along a “sterile route” from the hotel before being tested.

How did any of the players get out of the country in the first place?
the PL was "suspended" on March 13th but it wasn't until March 23th that the govt enforced a nationwide lockdown, so some players had plenty of time to return to their home countries. Quote
The Premier League has advised its clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, to ensure that their players are back in the country as football looks to step up a return to action.

Quick reminder;
Dutch Football League cancelled
French Football League cancelled
English Football League ??
But if you check top 4 leagues:
English Football league still not cancelled
Italian Football league still not cancelled
Spain Football league still not cancelled
German Football league still not cancelled
I don't want to belittle the other leagues, but however, the most important decisions come from these top four leagues. much higher turnover of money, therefore, have the greatest impact.
When there's more money at stake, you can't really just shut everything down. But the thing is they got to decide asap. The more they wait the closer it gets to being cancelled.
They could stop the league as it is or continue the league behind closed doors
I wouldnt expect alot even if the league start without any crowd at all. Alot of players are staying at home as well and they are not as fit as they was so it could be kinda lame to see they play without any intense training as usual
Yeah, I would believe that the games will resume behind the close doors with just some camera crew and no fans at all.I wouldnt expect alot even if the league start without any crowd at all. Alot of players are staying at home as well and they are not as fit as they was so it could be kinda lame to see they play without any intense training as usual
The reason why some nations cancelled and some didn't is mainly political, some governments just wanted to make sure that they didn't get anyone killed, if you overreact to a pandemic nobody could ever possibly blame you (well somehow even THAT happened but I don't know why the hell did that happened) because that way you are protecting people, sure maybe you are overprotective but at least your excuse is understandable, if you let teams play however, that means as soon as one of them gets the virus or something goes wrong you are in big trouble. Hence, I understand governments who cancelled but I would love the leagues back as well.
Spain is literally the only one we have no idea about, rest we can assume some. If you see teams not practicing at all right now, that means it will probably be cancelled in general, there is this discussion about how leagues who are planning on coming back needs their players in some sort of conditioning that they wouldn't pull a muscle the moment they start running, so they probably want a team training to happen first, and that means tens of players together anyway with the staff and all, so if everything goes great that way without a big problem, they could return to league as well. However if they are not planning on returning at all, they are also not planning on scheduling team practices neither and won't allow it. Premier league does allow team practices in some places, which means I sense it will definitely return, maybe not right away but eventually.
First this,
And now this; League 1&2 cancellation piles pressure on Premier League as French PM bans all sporting events until August note that they were also paying to restart the season sometime within june just as rumors are spreading everywhere about the premier planning to resume anytime soon.
The saddest part about all this recent development of cancellation of other leagues is that, the clubs that were leading the table aren't been declared champions, what's the fate of Liverpool then, will the premier league follow the footsteps of other leagues?.
Quick reminder;
Belgian Football League cancelled
Dutch Football League cancelled
French Football League cancelled
English Football League ??
Anybody read about the recent development in the Dutch league reporting that Ajax was denied title as Dutch Eredivisie season was declared void, European places decided, no relegation.

I’m not sure what’s happening in Spain.
Also I saw that the Dutch League may reverse their decision due to a number of clubs threatening legal action.
In Belgium the cancelled the league but crowned Bruges champions.
Well the bolded part could means alot of things, lots of options to consider. They could stop the league as it is or continue the league behind closed doors
I wouldn't expect alot even if the league start without any crowd at all. Alot of players are staying at home as well and they are not as fit as they was so it could be kinda lame to see they play without any intense training as usual
Well it means that they need to have a plan in place on what they're going to do. If they don't meet it then there will probably be repercussions. I think the majority of people want the games to play on even behind closed doors but that's easier said than done as it's the government who can either allow this or shut it down. They seem to want to get the league going as soon as possible as well but it needs to be safe for everyone involved. They also wont want to give the impression of double standards to the public as it will cause a lot of issues if the country is still in lockdown meanwhile football is allowed to be played.
In response to the they want to cancel everything comment, I got this from a reliable guy I know personally,
Nothing is set in stone and things can change. But again there are very conflicting news and reports saying the opposite to each other.

Mate of mine in the championship is back at training being told they have to play behind closed doors for remainder so don't believe all you read

I've got a reliable source that says he knows someone who says bitcoin is going to 100k. This is how bulshit spreads. Some random guy on the internet knows a guy who knows a guy who says they're back at training so that must mean everything is going to go ahead. Even if some teams are back at training in some capacity (which I'm sceptical of) that doesn't mean the league is going to restart. If the players have been told something then everyone else would also know about it, especially the media. If something had been decided then it would be out there. It's not like it would be a secret either.
About French Ligue I, we have the thread Prediction ligue 1, france football league but no active discussion since May 2019. It's so strange.
Nothing really strange about that, considering the league was not a favourite league for most people in here ( or no interesting conversation in there )

If this information is correct then we could expect it to happen soon but if pandemic is getting worse then things could just turn south
I agree, still I was just wondering if I can get a bet on it somehow?
Is that too selfish?
