What will happen to the 2019/20 campaign once the coronavirus outbreak subsides?
That is what every football fan wants to know, after the season was suspended until April.
The Football Association, Premier League and EFL joined forces to make the decision to suspend their seasons for three weeks until April 3 on Friday.
There is a fear that the season could be pushed back even further as a result of the pandemic, while some have called for the 2019/20 campaign to be declared null and void.
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber, who was executive director at Tottenham previously, admitted cancelling the season was not the route the Premier League wanted to go down.
Speaking on Football Focus, he said: "We don’t want to go down this option because every league starts with an expectation of completing all the fixtures and we really want to be able to do that. Our intention must be to try and complete matches but we’ve got to put people’s health first.
"At the moment, it’s really hard to imagine putting on a football game in the Premier League in two or three weeks' time, it’s hard to imagine that given the scenario that we are in. If we were to freeze the league, then for me it would be incredibly unjust for Liverpool not to be awarded the title because I think everybody in the game appreciates what a fantastic season they’ve had and what a wonderful team they are.
"But equally, it would be incredibly unjust for teams to be relegated when there is still games to play and the financial consequences of that are difficult, and it’s equally unjust for Leeds and West Brom to not be promoted because we know how hard it is to get out of the Championship, we know how hard it is for teams to even get to this stage of the season in the top two.
"I think that is a possible option [to expand the Premier League to 22 teams]. To leave the 20 teams in the Premier League as it is would obviously help us and would help others, but to bring the top two teams from the Championship up, give us a larger league for next season, perhaps four relegation spots next season, and then two up again to get the league back to 20 for the following season, it has some merit.
"Clearly there’s a number of details in there that would have to be worked through and a number of issues that would have to be worked through, not least the qualification for European competition places, but we are in an unprecedented time and we may need an unprecedented solution for this particular problem."
