I hope and pray that if the season can't be finished, then we would be awarded the league. But I fear that won't be the case. Why? because I think it could open up a legal can of worms. Say,we're awarded the league without the league finishing, wouldn't Leeds argue that, likewise, they should be awarded the top spot and qualification to the Premiership. Wouldn't WBA? But then wouldn't Norwich, Villa et al say "Well you can't have our place, because we might have survived if the season had been completed'. This argument would be used throughout all the divisions.
I can't see how you can award us the league and say everything else is null and void. There'd be huge legal ramaifcations. It makes me nauseous to say this but isn't declaring the whole season null and void the only 'fair' and consistent thing to do?
