In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Aye. Especially now that the UEFA comps will be suspended.
Liverpool aside, this is an awful situation. I for one didn't think it would get this bad few weeks back, to the point where literally every sport is being cancelled/suspended.
Honestly this is just a little bit ignorant. Why does the Premier League think it's any different?
We saw with both Serie A and the NBA, the minute one player gets it, that really is it. There is no way of knowing how many people he has come into contact with, whole teams have to be quarantined... why is it that big corporations just think they're immune to this?

3 players showing symptoms at an unnamed PL club. All players being tested.
Game over.
Game over.
Feels like the last 24 hours have escalated to the point that more people are taking things seriously now at least.
My dad has been very blase about it up until today, think he realises how critical things are getting.

What a 72 hours it has been. Crazy. Take care of yourselves, elderly and vulnerable people guys
Everton, Man City, & other sides should just refuse to play citing health issues. Nothing PL could do, & wouldn't want a massive lawsuit if a player gets virus due to their inaction. Stuff Liverpool. Be nice to see Klopp jumping up & down in rage.
If they suspend EPL now, who will qualify for next year champions league?
The earliest Liverpool could lift the trophy is in 9 days time on the 21st. That ain't happening.
Not Liverpool is it due to playing Atletico in the first leg or even 2nd.
The reasonable thing would be the current top 5 (without City) and also not declaring a winner because the season wasn't actually completed.
Article here in The Athletic on what could happen if the season is suspended/canceled. It's not behind a paywall.

Has to be Arsenal after having contact with the Greek owner that is sick.
I couldn't care less if they cancelled the league and declared it null and void meaning another season in EL.
It would be worth it so Liverpool don't win the league please let it happen it would be the funniest thing ever.
Their victim mentality would reach new levels make it happen I think we should start a petition you know in the interests of public safety and all that the season must be cancelled!

All Inter players sent home until further notice.
I think we can safely say all club and international European competitions will be closed off for at least a year.
Premier league team being tested for Covid, three first team players displaying symptoms (Talksport).
Could be Arsenal given Olympiakos game a few weeks ago but only speculation on my part.
Premier league matches will be cancelled this week and for foreseeable future.

Source please.
EDIT: Nevermind.
Of course it will, we'll be less desirable to world class talents for sure. But everything comes with a price, nothing is perfect so I'd be more than happy still
Imagine the reaction from them if this comes true
Yep. No more Premier League 19/20.
Those players will have played last week. All the opposing players will need to quarantine. So, too, the officials. This is it, folks.

Apparently if Europa is cancelled, it goes to the highest ranked team left in the competition, which is us...
Playing all games behind close doors isn't the way forward and can't be the answer. I say this because it gives an unfair advantage to City who are used to playing in front of no fans.
We will have to watch virtual football online while we self isolate or just go back 20 odd years and watch re-runs of League 1998-99.
Surely if the PL is called off, it should also then be awarded to the team with most league titles?
hahaha brilliant
Sorry I don't really get what you mean. You mean we would win the EL if it got cancelled ?
Voiding the season would still open up to lawsuits, the teams doing well wouldnt like it.
Do it. Cancel it.
PL rules are different, season will be null and void according to the rules.
They are. Just wait until all the sport is cancelled and they might as well not exist.
Lawsuits for what? Enforcing the rules the league sets? I'm sure every club has to agree to the rules to be able to take part in the competition in the first place.
I’m the ignorant one? There is literally a few thousand people that have contracted the virus in world with billions of people. Too many people like yourself just read the news and get in a panic. You cannot stop a virus spreading. All tourist sites are closed yet all bars and restaurants are still open, so what happens? All the tourist congregate in the same place anyway. The logic is plain stupid.
