I would not concede the time of fucking day to those subhuman fucking pond life this is a club that has collectively-:
Organised a campaign to discredit our club
Influenced with the help of the media to get EUFA to ban us for two fucking years
Hacked into our IT scouting system
Violently attacked our team/staff bus causing irreparable damage, and upset the players focus on a important CL game.

There is no way any city fan should concede anything to these lowlife self entitled bigoted anti english scum bags :mrgreen:

Once it becomes apparent that the season will be abandoned, the pressure from everyone (LFC, football authorities, media, etc.) will be absolutely immense on City to concede the title. We are kingmakers and no one else in this situation.

I would expect if we drag our heels or downright refuse, we can expect escalating physical violence from Dipper fans, which is reason enough not to concede the title.

This should never ever happen.
Dippers are hitting a poor form run.
It's possible we could still win it. :D
Just one of the many permutations that will affect every team.
Too many to work out to everyone's satisfaction..... impossible in fact.
Answer: = <insert yours here>
Fyi: my answer is it just stops as is. No one relegated or promoted. No champions. Tough but the only fair way. We start again next season.
I wish there was a way to know you are in the good old days....before you've actually left them...

Exactly, has any promotion or relegation been confirmed in any of the other lower leagues yet ?

Trouble afoot at FIFA , when Raiola says Infantino had to leave the last Meeting in Marocco otherwise he would have been Lynched !

Now, conveniently, he has rescheduled another African congress meeting until September and next meeting on 20th March is cancelled!

It was a video conference anyway :lol:

Seems he's got it all wrong trying to get the World club competition off the ground - anyway he's almost in hiding.

The pro dipper narrative is beginning to open up with its main armaments, Oliver (the twat) Holt has written a “Liverpool are 25 points clear it’s their title” lead column supporting the dippers, saying they deserve it, freeze the league as it is and determine European places and relegation to teams in there positions, so Villa, Bournemouth and Norwich are relegated, they would be the collateral damage in order to award dippers the title. Well I bet that will not go down well at Villa who have a game in hand.
This narrative will get more powerful as time progresses this is the usual Machiavellian method used in today’s society, keep telling the proletariat the same thing until it becomes fact, just watch this develop, you heard it here first.

This narrative will not get anymore powerful at all. Holt is just speculating . None of the teams except scouse will accept their current positions as final and most certainly not the Rags.

If Villa won their game in hand they would be out if bottom three, can’t see them accepting that. There is loads more at stake across the game than whether dippers win the title.

Just out of interest, who are these experts? Also do we as a fan base not complain of the influence the media have on decisions made by so called experts?

Holt is a bell end but during the last few days it has become clear to these self serving bell end "journos" that the bin dippers are universally hated so the pro dipper narrative is being cranked up by the likes of Holt and other click bait seeking pro dipper bell ends . Carraghers constant pathetic crying plea on twitter is a fucking embarrassment to human society and highlights what an utter bunch of self important arrogant horrible bastards dippers are . Lastly and more importantly the PL and FA are well aware of huge legal implications forthcoming for teams in current relegation and promotion positions . The easiest option by far is to null and void the season .

I can't see any alternative other than cancelling - assuming current 'expert' predictions about the spread of the virus in England prove to be true.
