The coronavirus 19 Effect on Non League divisions and grassroot games

Apparently the Non League divisions and grassroot games are to end. Since no teams are going to be promoted, the decisions made afterwards could have a spill over effect on the top leagues including EPL should this corona issue persist for sometime.

"All English soccer below the three divisions of the fifth tier National League will end immediately due to the coronavirus pandemic with all results from the season expunged, the FA said on Thursday.

The top three National League divisions, the Women’s Super League and women’s championship remain in talks about how best to conclude their seasons.

However, with no new teams promoted into those leagues, they could decide to follow suit which would then affect the men’s professional divisions.

The Premier League and other top level soccer in England is suspended until at least April 30 but the governing bodies have said the current season can be extended indefinitely"

Its very good if they are going to extend because most of peoples want to watch a complete season and specially Liverpool fans really frustrated with this all as they are going to win first EPL after many decades hopefully this all will end with all parties could be happy if they extend this season then I feel surely they will have very less days for next season or they will delay next season start.

I think we’ll know within 4-6 weeks if it’s likely that the season will finish. PL officials did say that there would be an ‘indefinite extension’ which points towards the season definitely being finished regardless of timescale.

The sooner the peak of epidemic in England is reached, the sooner the more stablizied period will occur. Because after peak, locals are more aware of the threads, become more careful, and government take more serious orders. After all, epidemic will decreased in severity.

4- 8 weeks since the peak is a good window for results of epidemic fighting. Because we have not yet seen a peak in England so we might have to wait longer than 8 weeks. Let's see.

The premier league calender for next season would definitely be affected by all this, next season ought to begin in August, and it'll be a miracle for us to restart this season in May or June to maybe give time for that. Things are not getting any better around the world, the league i must confess is the last thing on the minds of a lot of people right now. If we are going to finish all matches left this season, 2020/2021 season could begin in the last three months of this year. Football tournaments all over the world is going to take a major shift from what we have become accustomed to, that's for sure.

All of that happened because of this corona virus so all the matches will experience a setback later that I once knew was not denied by several European leagues that will soon be finished in this competition and must be postponed.
And if indeed the next 4-6 weeks the atmosphere has begun to improve, the match will not take place just like that there will definitely be more detailed checks for fear that this virus will continue to exist.
Hoping all of us will be normal this year too and indeed this year we lost EURO 2020 because the return to 2021 is very sad.

In the last meeting between the premier league clubs their representatives decided to postpone the league till April end, but then the clubs have also informed the UEFA that they’ll try and wrap the league by June therefore I’m not sure how they plan to end the league even if it resumes. Furthermore how will the new season start and most importantly when will it start, hence in my personal opinion it’s best to declare this season null and void and focus on starting the new season.

With the rate at which the COVID-19 pandemic is spreading, I'm having doubts about the Premier league resuming in May 2020. No matter what happens, I feel Liverpool should be duly crowned Champions regardless of whether in front pf fans or within closed doors. Most people still want the season to be null and void but it wouldn't be fair to Liverpool which is just 6 points away from winning the trophy. Let's see what happens in the next couple of weeks.

That's a welcomed development. Over the last couple of weeks, The PL has had multiple meetings with the clubs to decide on the next steps. Responses ranged from canceling the season to crowning Liverpool without completing the season. However, I do like this decision even though the fixtures might clash with Euro 2020 (If it will still hold). In all, I'm happy with their decisions. I'll be keeping an eye for updates about the league resuming. Missed so much of the actions.

I'm thinking that the seasons won't start and will most likely end the way they are right now as the virus is now just starting to take effect on Germany, France and Spain and it could take a week before we start to see England cases rise so I can't see the seasons restarting. If this continues the way its going, we might even see a delay to the start of the new seasons and also we need to think about how the economy will affect teams and leagues around the world as they rely on the money from the fans going to the games and buying memberships. We really could see some teams around the world start to fold which would be a terrible outcome but it could become a reality for some teams that don't have the money to keep going during this down time.

Just thinking out.

What will happen to the players whose contracts end this summer in their respective Premier League clubs should there be a late resumption of the Premier League?

How is business going to be held in the transfer market if the leagues are still ongoing as they try to complete the delayed 2019/2020 season?

I presume if the season restarts then it shouldn’t be a problem to extend players contracts by an extra month or two so they can complete the season with their current clubs.

But still this could be big problem for many clubs as still uncertainty around all Eruope no one can give any exact time about any thing hopefully UEFA will bring some better option for all clubs and players which will not creat any new problems for any one in near future.

In my own opinion, i do not think there will be any problems.
For me, the best bet is to reach an agreement with players, and extend the contracts by a month or 2.

Secondly, This season has to be played out, any time it ends. The coming season can have the fa / carling cup restricted to ensure compliance to the season.
Likewise, The FA and UEFA have to extend the transfer window too just this once.

Moreover, other than some players already infected with the virus. The players have been told to train at home. It will affect their fitness IMO, as what they can do is limited (if they really do serious training at home lol). Even if the league somehow resume in May, the level of competition is not the same.

My intuition says it won't resume.

Apart from the fact that this condition is going to have serious impact on their fitness, teams are going to lose a lot in terms of strategy.
The managers has trained a lot their players for being up to date with new strategies, but now due to the quarantine the strategies of the teams are not updated from the coaches.

There's still no announcement from the Premier League but Fifa mentioned ^[source] the possibility of adjusting the registration period for players.

I do agree with the latter part but in terms of fitness levels, they'll be fine even with limited basic equipment ^{[they're professional athletes, trained to cope with such situations]}.

Players will maintain some kind of training themselves but not all of them are CR7. We see many players fall into overweight after summer holidays. With the very long break from the pandemic, if the league comes back, quality of matches will decrease as unavoidable consequence from players' physical conditions. But it is fair for nearly all club's, exclude clubs have serious infected cases and will not fully recover when league restarts.

I really hope it all dies away in the next 4-6 weeks. I waited my whole life to see my team win the title, it’ll be so cruel if they stop the season without us becoming champions.

Is your team Liverpool? If it is even though they haven't won the championship Liverpool have won the Champions League trophy for 6 times now and I think for a fan that is a much better thing to have for team to win it, I personally don't even care even if my team isn't a league winner as long as they have won the Champions League and they are placed to qualify for the UCL next season. As for the pandemic dying down in 4-6 weeks, I doubt that is possible as from what I have seen in the news there was an increase around 100,000 new confirmed cases in just a span of 4 days so that is really not a sign that the virus is slowing down, some of the sporting events like the Tokyo Olympics are even postponed to 2021 which just show that this pandemic might not be solve fast.

Liverpool is my team bro, yes. I was lucky enough to go to the last two CL Finals (one ended up better for me than the other Wink

).

The CL is the best competition to win, I agree but I really want to see us win the title. I hope the PL can resume maybe in late May.

First, welcome back on the forum Wink

I read in the local newspaper, because of big money lost PL thinking to resume in early May, but players don't want to take the risk even if they play behind the closed door.
btw It seems the pandemic is coming a little late in the UK, I am very surprised with such a slow reaction.
After many years, Liverpool is so close to the title, can we risk to overcome the virus, is there anything worse than before Liverpool gets to the top? Cheesy
