Everything pundits have said about coronavirus, Euro 2020 and how the Premier League and EFL season should end

Coronavirus has officially hit football with leagues and cups around the world postponed until further notice.

Indeed, UEFA today took the decision to move Euro 2020 back a year to 2021 in an attempt to help leagues around Europe with scheduling issues.

Here, we take a look at what the football world is saying about the current debate on whether clubs should be allowed to complete the current season in the summer.

Ex-Liverpool and England star Jamie Carragher:

"You can’t start next season until this one finishes whenever that is. No title winners? Who goes in the Champions League next season? Leeds, West Brom and plus one miss out on Premier League. Three clubs in the Premier stay up!"

Former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle United ace Michael Owen:

“My view is that we postpone Euro 2020 until next summer and not start a new season until the current one is completed.”

Luke Edwards, a journalist at The Telegraph gave his take on the situation:

“Stop the pretence this season can be completed. Football thinking it can plough on regardless when so many others [are] forced to face up to [the] reality of [the] situation is kinda weird.”

Ex-Manchester United striker Dion Dublin

"I know there would be uproar with that decision [ending the season now]. The players would go mental. You simply have to finish the season."

Former Blackburn striker Chris Sutton on the Leeds United situation:

"The fact of the matter is there is so much money involved which is why there will be these legal ramblings. Leeds deserve to come up.

“I know they have to get over the line but who knows where we are going to go with this."

BBC journalist Ian Dennis:

“Support growing among Championship clubs in their desire to finish the season. Top 6 all met yesterday - all aligned - and further support today from at least another 3 clubs. There is a conference call later today involving all 24 clubs.”

Ex-Everton player Tim Cahilll:

"Forget about international games. Make sure you finish the season, whether it's Liverpool winning the league or teams getting promoted and relegated."

West Ham chief Karen Brady moved to clarify her ‘null and void’ comments:

“My point was safety of fans, players, staff comes 1st & if the remaining games just cannot be played the only fair & reasonable thing is to declare [the] season null and void”

Ex-Newcastle man Alan Shearer on the wider situation:

“[Liverpool] were clearly going to win the title but how can you have a winner and loser with fixtures still to be played?

“I’d have a huge amount of sympathy for them, but there are far more important things to worry about right now.”
