Hate the term….but null and void.
No transfer window,teams should be made to play next season with the same squad.— Stephen D (@dobo86) May 20, 2020
Void it all & start again next season

Forget 2020/2021, this can be picked up a later point in time and we could always cancel domestic cups for a season and play twice a week to get it done quicker.
This season MUST be played out, we’re too far in for any other options.

Would you like the 2019/20 season to be made null and void, played out, or decided on points-per-game?NULL AND VOID
PLAY IT OUT
POINTS-PER-GAME

Play it out ?? treat it like a world cup & bash the games out over a 5-6 week period. Players away at tournaments are basically in a lockdown situation & away from family so why not do it now ????? anyone not involved stays away then & all the staff/players will be safe

It’s got to be played out. I hate to say it but the only other option is voiding the season imo. PPG is so unfair as nothing in the league is set in stone yet. But we’ve got to finish the season as a priority.

I think the best way would be to restart the season when it is safer to do so and push the start of the following season back until a month or two after this season ends, whenever that may be. Rather than rushing this season to be ready for next season.

What do we think?
All Championship teams have currently played 37 games and considering that West Brom are sitting in second place on the Championship table, six points clear of third-placed Fulham who are their nearest challengers outside of the automatic promotion places, it’s somewhat surprising that these Baggies fans have called for alternative ways of finishing the season to a points-per-game model, as this would see them get promoted to the Premier League.
However, it may be understandable why some of these West Brom fans have called for the season to be played to a conclusion whenever possible, as it could be the fairest option and they may fancy their chances of securing promotion this way.
