You do realize that it is almost mathematically impossible for Liverpool to lose the league right? I mean right now Liverpool is 25 points ahead of City with just one more game in the books, that means if City won, that is a 22 point difference, there is 38 games in total and Liverpool has played 29 of that already, which means there is only 9 games left in the season with 22 point difference, 9 games all won equals to 27 points, which means if City wins ALL their games, and Liverpool loses ALL their games (maybe win one and one draw) City could potentially still win the league.
So, you are telling me that you expect Liverpool to lose 8 games in 9 matches? Seriously? How could that ever potentially happen? There is no world where any team at that level loses that many games in a row.

The only people who want the season to be cancelled are fans of clubs who are having bad seasons.
Lol, and also fans that do not want Liverpool to win the premier league, I'll be accusing Manchester United/City fans of this 
. There are rumors that German Bundesliga could restart next month(May)and will be played behind closed doors, who knows maybe the premier league can also conclude and decide on a date/time frame. June may not be a bad idea and probably by that time we could have some reprieve from "attacks" from the virus. I'm sure many of us miss football so much, that we wouldn't bother much if it were behind closed doors, as it will. 
LOL!
Why is this cruel? it is a fact!Because I think it would break his heart if they didn't win it now
The season will be completed, it is close to 100% certain. Ministers are already discussing behind closed doors football. The only people who want the season to be cancelled are fans of clubs who are having bad seasons. Sporting integrity will win the day.
LOL!

That is too cruel, don't look LFC_Bitcoin
LOL!
Why is this cruel? it is a fact!Liverpool and all other teams will see difference in their playstyle. If it will be only Liverpool that would not be able to handle this change then it might be beneficial for the other teams.
Personally, I don't think that Liverpool is going to lose this championship as they already have huge difference from the second team.
I think a big part of the discussion going on is about business and money and not about football and completing the league because we want to know who won.
Sponsors have paid for advertising and so on, these are the things they are trying to reconcile.
Indeed, They forgot that the economic collapse happened everywhere around the globe. Not just there in one industry but any industry. Sponsors have paid for advertising and so on, these are the things they are trying to reconcile.
It's understandable that they might losing millions dollar and yeah pretty hard to bury the egoism to continue the league too early. Even with strict rules under health protocols. I'm the one who against all of these continue the league planning.

For Cups, they are unnecessary for now, and can be canceled. Finishing leagues will help leagues to find winners with some matches left to play and help leagues and UEFA find out clubs for the European leagues next season.
You have a point but the other two cups determine other qualifying teams for Europa league:There’s also one worrying news which say that these matches may be shown as a subscription based model in UK, which means that people will abandon social distancing to watch these matches, and I would strongly recommend to those people to not break social distancing guidelines.
Although that's a possibility, I'm sure people will find other alternative ways of watching those matches + in the link you provided, he mentioned about positive talks in regards to showing games "on free-to-air TV channels"... ^ The 2020/2021 season could start later and be shortened by a couple of months. And it'll probably safe enough in some areas to get people out in crowds again by then.
I hope I hope. *fingers crossed*
A shortened EPL season would be roller coaster I hope I hope. *fingers crossed*
Imagine teams playing on a tight schedule with all the those tournaments and league competitions due to a shortened season. Maybe they would have to completely remove international friendlies or even International breaks as a whole.
Oh.. They're prolly dropping one of the cup games (the League Cup). Maybe even both. IMHO. But there's gonna be less money going around, that's for sure.
The big money is in the PL & CL which is why those two competitions in particular will definitely be concluded. I think some PL teams are returning to training in mid May.
@LFC_Bitcoin be ready to pop up the champagne as the premier league will resume and end by July 31st, and since this news has been confirmed now it’s time to save our funds, because we can earn a lot of money by wagering on the top 6 teams during the remaining season. There’s also one worrying news which say that these matches may be shown as a subscription based model in UK, which means that people will abandon social distancing to watch these matches, and I would strongly recommend to those people to not break social distancing guidelines.

Meanwhile, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden has raised concerns if matches played behind closed doors were shown on subscription-based channels Sky Sports and BT Sport, who hold the UK rights, then it could lead to fans visiting friend's houses to watch the games.

English clubs always had too much anyway, compared to other leagues they had way too many matches to play. Other leagues have one league and one national cup, that is usually about it and nothing else.
The best thing for English clubs and other clubs in Europe are finishing their rest matches in their leagues if possible to do this. For Cups, they are unnecessary for now, and can be canceled. Finishing leagues will help leagues to find winners with some matches left to play and help leagues and UEFA find out clubs for the European leagues next season.Asking to finish all national leagues and cups in the pandemic time is unrealistic when even finishing leagues are still challenging.

Look at FA, they have like 5 cups lined up for many different teams, depends where you are, what your position is. Hell a team in 9th league (non-league level we are talking about) actually has 3 different competition with 1 league and 2 cups, who the hell watches that many games of a 9th league team (well me obviously, but who else). I think just one FA cup and one premier league is more than enough for next season.
If you do that and arrange the cup games around European leagues, I still think starting the league at 2021 (right away on early January) could be stretched to late June or early July and be finished.

For some people a contract is a contract.
Would they have added 10% if it was some amazing thing instead of a disaster? unlikely
Footballers still need to make all their career in a few years also.

I understand your point, and I think most clubs do give out bonuses to their players at least if they win certain trophies. But really that's not the point, It's just that these are unprecedented times and come to think of it, If the club should go bankrupt no players would get paid and would be out of a contract, and mostly these rations are just some what needed in order to keep non playing staff at their jobs too, I've read about certain premier league clubs furlough their non-playing staffs.
In my opinion, Ozil has been very charitable all through his career, so this is a bit pf surprise for me and there could be more factors at play here.
Even though I didn't enjoy reading that news, after going over most of the comments on that tweet, I think it's fair to say that all of us can easily argue for both sides...
I couldn't agree more. However, the English Media as you would expect do not see that way ☹️
I doubt the league will continue before we see under 100 deaths per day, even at that point it is still quite risky but we are showing like 800+ deaths some days and some days it goes lower and it went back up again as well. So right now it is undecided territory, it is not like some other nations who have finally started to see some light at the end of the tunnel, UK still has a lot of deaths per day. If somehow that number goes under 100, more like 50, they might start talking about getting it back on. That way we could at least say the risk is lower than ever and that would help their case, without a drop doing right now with such high numbers is just risking wayy too many peoples lifes and that is unresponsible thing to do.
A high number of deaths has been reported in the last 24 hours in the UK. The season will be completed but it’s going to be at least 6 weeks before a ball is kicked & 100% it will all be behind closed doors. At least it’ll be on TV for us.
Nowadays, It's nothing but lifescores instead of Livescores as I've been familiar with for the almost the entirety of my adulthood, Honestly, It's tiring!!!
Ozil's has been receiving massive criticism from various parties the latest being Piers Morgan 1, after Ozil along with a very few Arsenal players refused the new 12.5% pay cut proposed by the club 2, The players initially rejected the trending 30% pay cut and the 12.5% cut is the lowest I've read about from a club and I believed shouldn't have been a problem for any of the players, at least not the club's highest paid player.

In fact, given Arsenal are one of only a handful of clubs to have announced a widespread agreement of pay cuts, there are hundreds of Premier League players across the country - some of which earn more than Ozil - who also have not agreed yet to waive any of their wages. Yet it is Arsenal’s No.10 who is now being painted as the poster boy for all that is wrong with football
I don't know the long term financial situation, projects, planned activities/charity/... of Ozil or any other football players, so i can judge them correctly. Contracts are contracts, you agreed on it, you assume it. However, in such bad circumstances teams have the right to discuss a cut and players have the right to accept, reject or negotiate it...Their salaries allow them to have an extra level of life, spending... I don't think their landlords (if they don't have a castle already) will forgive them for not paying, same goes for other bills (medic, electricity...). This argument may be available for relatively new players.
For me, their salaries are crazy but that is another story!

Will the performance of Liverpool is going to get impacted and in the end lose the title?
I'm pretty sure the answer to that is "YES" but Liverpool wouldn't be the only affected team and I highly doubt they'll let the title slip this time. 
^ The 2020/2021 season could start later and be shortened by a couple of months. And it'll probably safe enough in some areas to get people out in crowds again by then.

Right now USA, Russia, Turkey and UK leading countries where numbers are increasing very quickly and its really matter of frustration as they have very stick lock down but still its going out of control as few other countries also coming high very quickly in casualties but we can hope for good in near future nothing else.Premier league is going to be one of the leagues that will be late to start.
I wonder how many games are going to be played in such a short period of time in order to finish the league. Will the performance of Liverpool is going to get impacted and in the end lose the title?
