Rumours are circulating about the F.A. shutting the League down early

Seems to be a lot of rumours the F.A. Want to close the league down early due to the corona virus, how will that effect us winning the premiership, will it recommence once the worst is over or will we be awarded the title early, I can just imagine the scheming b***ard in the F.A. Trying to take the title of us your thoughts

Nah..The FA aren't out to swindle us out of anything. I've suggested if games are cancelled they will probably freeze the league position on 32 games or whatever and team at the top will be title winners and qualification and relegation will as per their league position. Only way to do it to avoid chaos for next season.

It’s only a rumour and I can’t imagine the FA sabotaging their competition just to stop a team winning the league. I keep saying it, but unless we get a number of cases similar to Italy I can’t see the PL being postponed.

Upto 15000 people a year can die in a bad year with Influenza..... FFS people need to stop reading headlines  and encouraging the scum media to write utter crap. Rumours are Lord Lucan is in hiding in Australia riding Shergar on the beach.  Coronavirus may spread more in the UK but at present it isn't a threat to our daily lives and if we are not careful we will give the Government the ideal opportunity to use it to deflect from the other very real sh*t that is going on

Thread to Mods: "Stop me, before I (click)bait again."

Even if the league does get shut down, which I think is extremely unlikely, they will use some computer modelling to anticipate the final results, all these stories are just spread by trolling Everton and Man Utd fans

I can see this happening it's just how will the F.A. Deal with the aftermath

what would be the risk in playing all games behind closed doors?

I don't think I would be happy a. As a fan b. If I was a season ticket holder, having payed for the games

You'd rather we were robbed of a league title??

They certainly would be reluctant to lose any revenue generated from these matches, tv rights etc.

Exactly right mate,it’s not exactly Ebola or the Black Death is it,as a side note i went into the shops earlier just to buy some hand wash ( use it all the time at home ) and F**k me the shelves had been wiped out.

Same thing over here.

I see they were going to play Serie A matches in empty stadiums but now have moved them to May. They know the threat will pass and they want to recoup the revenue .

Well thats better than stopping tbe leauge if and it is a big if. With the Euros being on and that being the cash cow it is will they do that

So were down to computer programs as to who will win the leauge !!!

Coronavirus worrys the F**k out of me, I had double pneumonia 2 towards the end of last year, don't know how it will effect me or is that being selfish!

possibly but it would take some very very special algorithms for us not to win from our position!

That's just being sensible, take care and avoid any chance of infection. Hopefully they come out with a vaccine soon, last I read was about 2 weeks time.

I feel like they would play games behind closed doors before shutting the league down but I feel like with the money lost by teams and such it would be big decision to take.

Ah for fucks sake........cheers lads

Not sure how the PL would deal with it if games started being called off. Can’t extend the season due to Euros (which I reckon have a genuine chance of being scrapped). Easy to say give LFC the title cos they’re miles clear, but surely you can’t give out Champions League spots or relegate teams based on their position with ten games to go. CAS would be kept busy.

Ah for fucks sake........cheers lads

Yes, not the greatest news cycle for the marketing department there.

Back  in the early 80s there was  product advertised and sold here in the U.S. It was billed a "Diet candy" - some kind of chocolates that could keep you from being hungry but didn't make you fat(ter).

They had some early success but by the late 80s the product was removed from shelves as the name of the product was..."Ayds." (rhymes with maids).

You wouldn't put it past those dirty Mancs to try and force this by licking anyone who sneezes in an effort to turn it into an epidemic.

Maybe they should....looks like half the squad has the F***ing  pox

Shame they didn't shut it down at 5-29 PM today.   

Typical tabloid bollocks.

Some people will do and say anything to try and stop us winning the league.

Usa/Iran, climate change, Coronavirus - what next F***ing aliens.......and F***ing watford!!

Heard the other day and it really got me going into conspiracies, that the Zico virus came out 4 years ago, the same year as the Olympics.

Coincidence?? Me thinks not!!!!

I’m not concerned about the league being cancelled, there’s no way that will happen! Play behind closed doors etc

I’m worried about any title parade being cancelled! With the numbers involved and where they travel from I think it’s guaranteed

Fingers crossed I’m wrong

Stop reading bollox headlines its quite simple the media these days just try to cause fear and concern. 35 people showing the Virus in the UK and this week a similar amount will have been killed in car accidents not just injured Killed and they will not get a mention and Cars will not be banned. Sick and tired of this tabloid media close the F***ing lot of them down

it's all scaremongering and it's working on idiots too, too easily

Rumors? Rumors come from actual sources. You got any or are you just jumping on the hysteria bandwagon?

Klopp: Liverpool fans aren't 'paranoid' over 'silly' reports coronavirus could impact title charge

 The coronavirus has wreaked havoc with the global sporting schedule but the German does not foresee it ending his side's title bid

Jürgen Klopp dismissed any notion Liverpool fans are "paranoid" about "silly" suggestions the Reds' Premier League title bid could be derailed by the coronavirus.

The Reds' hopes of going unbeaten throughout the Premier League season were curtailed in a shock 3-0 loss at struggling Watford on Saturday but they still hold a 22-point lead over Manchester City.

While there is limited threat from their rivals, reports over the weekend said the Premier League could be impacted by the rapid spread of coronavirus and Liverpool would not necessarily be crowned champions if the season were ended prematurely as no rules exist in such a scenario.

However, Klopp says Liverpool fans – who have not seen their team win the top flight since 1990 – have no legitimate fears.

"I don't think our fans are paranoid," Klopp said when quizzed about the coronavirus threat ahead of Liverpool's FA Cup fifth-round tie against Chelsea.

"I can't believe Liverpool fans are thinking about it and I actually speak to Liverpool fans.

"If anybody wants to ask me about that and how much sense it would make to delete all the results of this season and tell me who will play next year in the Champions League and stuff like this, it would be really interesting.

"Nice story, obviously some newspapers have always to write something but when I saw it the first time I really thought, 'Wow, really somebody thinks something like that?'

"Liverpool fans are really not silly enough to believe in these things."

Liverpool have endured a slight blip by their own phenomenal standards this season, with defeats to Atletico Madrid and Watford sandwiched by a comeback win against West Ham.

On Tuesday, Klopp's side travel to Stamford Bridge for the next round of the FA Cup and the German insists the match is not necessarily a release from the pressures of the Premier League and Champions League.

"We never really think about lesser pressure, we are Liverpool, we are always under pressure," he added.

"We play away at Chelsea and everyone expects us to win there, which is difficult, was always difficult, will always be difficult.

"There's for sure no favourite in this game and if [there is] then it's Chelsea because they play at home."

In the previous round, Liverpool needed a replay to get past Shrewsbury Town in a match where Klopp courted controversy for handing responsibility to Under-23s boss Neil Critchley to field a team of youngsters as the fixture took place during the club's mid-season break.

Critchley was appointed as Blackpool manager on Monday but, while he is longer around, Klopp said some of Liverpool's fledgling stars who have featured in the tournament could be involved.

"It's not about loyalty, these boys are our boys and they did what they did and if we would win the FA Cup in the end they would be involved in the celebrations," Klopp added.

Thanks Klopp!

I don't think a parade will happen to be honest, I saw our parade last year so we've seen one in recent times. Bloody typical thought isn't it after 30 years...

It won't be until May/June anyway, I would wait and see what the situation is like by then. Besides, we'll challenge for the title again.

The only way I can see the parade being cancelled is if the government implement some sort of special measure which bans large scale gatherings for a period of time. Baring in mind that would also seemingly ban other sporting events, festivals etc over the summer I think it would take a lot to enforce such a rule & I honestly can't see it happening.

Presuming these events will be at the discretion of the local authorities, and taking into account how much the local economy has benefited from Liverpool FC over the last few years I can imagine the council will be pulling all of the stops out to ensure it goes ahead. Not really worrying at the minute

if anyone on this planet or any other think Liverpool fans will not celebrate in huge numbers all over the world then they are mistaken.
With or without the team with or without permission Liverpool will be a Party town for many days and nghts

Travel ban!!

All scouse for the last few home games of the season.

Lobs hand grenade and walks away

Theres 1 case of the virus in scotland. ffs. 1 case.

30 odd in england I think.

I know it can be deadly and lots have died all over the world, but the numbers are small compared to other causes of death. Its also worse for the already sick and vunerable, which is the same for normal flu.

from the first case of it being "imported" to Arrowe Park probably more than 50 people have died in RTA's. Sick and tired of the way the media blow everything up and then the thick bas**rds lap it up by reading the headlines and nothing more

I loved Klopp's line when asked at a press conference about someone (Newcastle I think) banning handshakes at the training ground. He said something along the lines of "you are two meters away from me right now, I'm pretty whatever you have, I now have."

My son is working in the medical field about 50 miles from the place in Washington state where all the U.S. fatalities have happened. He said "the news makes it sound like people are dropping like flies, but if you work in a hospital like me, you realize that people die all the time from infectious diseases, and at a much higher rate than from the Corona virus. I know it is serious but it is way overhyped."

Pretty smart boy, that. 

I don't think a parade will happen to be honest, I saw our parade last year so we've seen one in recent times. Bloody typical thought isn't it after 30 years...

F**k! There better be or I have to cancel F***ing everything for my trip!!!

Bit worrying this. The media are handling it terribly. Growing every day. Idea of us winning the league in an empty stadium is sh*te. I know there’s more important things in life etc etc but still... would be really disappointing.
