Get Man City to forfeit some meaningless games and award the title to Liverpool. Announce it at 4am on a Monday morning.

If ever there was a non-essential industry, it's having a bunch of millionaires running around, sometimes being better at kicking than another bunch of millionaires.
Just stop sport. It's pointless.

The problem is its the regular people who work in the stadium, the businesses around the stadium.
And its the joy it brings people

Just block off the area around the stadium when the team comes in and out.

They'd probably just congregate around where the bus emerges from the blocked off point. Scousers are a stubborn and unruly bunch, many of them will find a way.

Both necessary evils here, just which is least worse. Unfortunately, that’s null and void as it aggrieves less clubs.
Correct, bottom line is prioritising lives above resumption. Get over it!

Just cancel the season! The average UK footballer fan will be too hard-headed to follow any safety protocols. They will always find a location to gather in large crowds with close proximity to one another. Each game would be like having promiscuous unprotected sex with complete strangers.

No it wouldn't. I don't enjoy sport.

Jurgen Klopp should tell the fans to stay at home in his usual forthright way. They'll listen to him if no-one else.
Fighto!
Just cancel the rest of the season and award the trophy to LFC with *. They are unbeatable now anyway. Problem solved. Fans must only celebrate in their rooms, and get arrested if they gather.

If they wish, award the title with an asterisk.
Season ended early due to COVID-19. 92 games were unable to be played.Mathematically...
CL places were as stands on...
Relegation places were as stands on...
Wait a minute this does some farcical doesn’t it?

The problem is if you award it to Liverpool, Leeds and other promotion hopefuls will go to court.
I agree that the title should go to Liverpool, but that sets a precedent for the other clubs.
Promotion to the PL is worth GBP170 million.
