Will Arsenal get shot of Emery? It will be a shock if Pochettino rocks up there, now the Special One is at Spurs. Apparently some key players are stalling on signing new contracts with the current boss in charge. It was nice to see Spurs back to winning ways - granted, it was only West Ham, but they have to stop leaking goals. They threw away a 3 nil lead  Let's see how they deal with Olympiakos, and then whoever's next in the PL. Seeing Pochettino at Arsenal will be just as weird as Mourinho at Spurs now  Moanrinho's reign at Spurs will end in tears, think it was disgraceful sacking Pochettino a few months after taking them to a Champions League final especially when it was the players who downed tools as well as that awful chairman who is only ever interested in what we do rather than improving his own team. As for Emery, his contract apparently runs out in the summer so he should get that time especially considering he is picking up the pieces from Wenger and he had plenty of time yet didn't rectify the issues But like WS61 on the 232, that same squad under Pochettino was overwhelmed and on the verge of breakdown if it was a case of New Manager Bounce and this same group of players who were all looking for the exit just days before, we'd have to wait and see.  The manner of the appointment wasn't great, but Pochettino was peed off from the start of the season, no doubt deflated after the loss to Liverpool in the Champions League Final. But talking about the Man United job to the point that his own players wonder what's going on, and probably Levy saying these same Champions League runners up don't need replacing so no new players this summer could have been the catalyst. If you know your boss doesn't care for the job, then why should you bother, is probably the reason behind the alarming slump. Factor in the money from CL football which won't be seen in the wrong half of the table, the new stadium and that needing to be paid for all added to what happened. I'm surprised that he waited this long, but the same is happening with Emery with some refusing to renew contracts. It's not right that players have so much sway over managers no matter what club, but everyone is chasing money and success at all costs. The 4-2 comeback win against Olympiakos was great to see, but we'll see what happens. Trophy wise, Spurs have always been the bridesmaid, never the bride, so perhaps this is the year of wedding planning  |

There's been a bit of a bounce under Jose, only two games though and it remains to be seen whether he is the long term solution. |

Nice to be back up to 5th after beating Bournemouth, but Spurs give away more leads than an electrical store on Black Friday... they have to tighten up their defence before Man U or the more serious teams |

Brilliant news that Mancheating City has been banned from all European football for two years - hopefully, their appeal comes to nothing. About time certain teams stopped doing backhanders and manipulating the rules surrounding FFP.

About time certain teams stopped doing backhanders and manipulating the rules surrounding FFP. I’d be surprised if they serve the full two year ban. My guess would be on appeal it’s changed to a suspended ban and larger fine |

It comes as no surprise that the PL has been suspended indefinitely, along with all other English football leagues. Players are also expected to take a 30% pay cut
One wonders what happens once it's safe to restart the season. I would think the cup competitions (FA Cup, UEFA Champions and Europa League) are cancelled with the main focus being on completing the league season. If the league season can't be completed, perhaps a set of playoffs can be carried out to determine who qualifies for Europe next season and who gets relegated. At the time of the league being suspended, the battle for these places was very close indeed!

My take is that this season MUST be finished. If that takes until next spring then fine - just cancel the 2020/2021 season. The current season is the one that’s important not next season. I say formally cancel the 2020/2021 season and guarantee that the 2019/2020 season will be finished including the cup competitions

If a season is voided with no relegation or promotion, does anyone else think the team at the top of the league should get a head start next season based on how many points they are currently in the lead? For example Liverpool would start next season with 15 points before a ball is kicked. This would especially help teams that have missed out on promotion and the extra revenue that goes with it. Also gives fans who missed out a second chance to see their team go up, win a title etc

If it get voided all the season is regarded as it never happened ... all results, goals scored, will be stricken from the records .... as per what has happened in Netherlands |

The Dutch have voided their 2019/20 season .... are Liverpool fan getting worried? Very poor decision especially as Camburr in the Eerste Divisie had an 11 point gap at the top but won't be promoted prompting their manager to say it's one of the biggest scandals in Dutch football. As for the premier league, as hilarious as it would be to deny Liverpool a certain title after 30 years, I don't think it would be correct nor do I believe that Liverpool won't be handed it regardless of the final decision. The problem will be how to decide European spots & relegation spots if the season is voided - I'm not convinced by having no relegation and promoting the top two from the Championship nor am I convinced by cementing final positions based on an average points total. Voiding the season benefits my club slightly in that our current poor placing will technically have not existed but it's not something I'm in favour of - I'd still try to finish the season whenever that maybe. |

French Ligue 1 and 2 will not restart either. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52460468It's difficult to see the Premier League restarting either and it'll be harsh on Liverpool if it's abandoned although they did lose three of their last four games. |

Let's see how they deal with Olympiakos, and then whoever's next in the PL.
