As much as I'd love the Project Restart to succeed, as soon as at least one player tests positive the whole thing is probably going to be called off again, odds are it won't be safe to play football until vaccine is developed.

In any case, how'd like for the season to finish -

Null & Void - no champion named, no promotion or relegation, new season starts as if 19/20 never happened - what do you do with newly broken goalscoring or appearance records though :lol:
Complete it based on certain criteria - criteria such as current standings, points per game, simulate the remaining fixtures on football manager etc
Restart until certain date - try to play the remaining games until August/September/October to lesser the impact on 20/21, abandon the season if not possible
Restart no matter the timeframe - don't start the new season until all remaining fixtures for 19/20 have been played no matter how long it takes, the football calendar is fucked anyway due to Qatar 2022

This one. There's no point ending this season until we actually know when football can start again. It could genuinely take until this time next year to get a vaccine spread far enough. Although tbf if we're waiting that long football as we know it is done anyways, not many teams could survive that time with no income.

Has to be restart no matter the timeframe. That being said I never expected Ligue 1, Eredivisie or our Belgian league to end the competition.

Restart no matter the timeframe.

The whole point of voiding the season or completing it really quickly was to ensure the 20/21 season can start on time, but we can't guarantee the 20/21 season will start in August even if we do that.

I think the remaining games should be played behind closed doors and with stringent testing of players and coaching staff. By doing that, we can also start the 20/21 season this year. Clubs will still get their TV money and with that revenue they can provide an economic package for the lower leagues that don't have many games on TV.

Resume the season asap. Don't start a new one until it's finished, no matter when that is.

If anything, shorten the future season, with a 1 legged format, or dividing it into two groups of 10 and then playoffs.

Aren’t the Germans not relegating anyone and instead promoting teams from the second division so they’ll have more teams in the top flight? I think it’s unfair to relegate anyone.

Null & Void.

Anything else is unrealistic and unfeasible.

More and more leagues are starting to cancel, if all don't at the same time then restarting will be out of sync.

Why cancel a season that is underway, to start a season that has yet to begin?

No important league has been cancelled, some random dutch league and frenchies.

Even italy hasn't cancelled and they've been fucked worse than many.

This is what the teams at the bottom of the prem are saying. Brighton came out today crying about not wanting to play at neutral venues. I say fuck 'em. It's the same for every team and it's not other teams fault they are near the bottom. There's no fucking way we could run a prem season with 22/23 teams if we stick to the same time frame. We already have stupid fixture congestion as it is, and if the tv money is split another 3 ways, it's not fair on the teams that have done nothing wrong.
