The Premier League season has been suspended indefinitely as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
Premier League clubs had a meeting on Friday to discuss plans for the end of the season, with no games having been played since March 9.
The season was suspended initially until the end of March, before that was moved to the end of April. And now the campaign has suspended indefinitely, with no set return date until it is safe to do so.
There is a general consensus that the season should be completed, come what may, and that declaring the 2019/20 campaign null and void should be the last resort.
Voiding the season would cause issues in terms of promotion, relegation and financial difficulties from TV broadcasters and sponsors' points of view.
And it would cause problems for UEFA too, in how they would set up their European competitions for the 2020/21 campaign.
UEFA also had a meeting this week and they have issued a warning to the big clubs in the Premier League over voiding the season.
In a joint letter sent on Thursday night to Europe’s national FAs, leagues and top-division clubs, UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin, the chairman of the European Club Association, Andrea Agnelli, and Lars-Christer Olsson, the president of European Leagues, maintained that remaining club matches in national leagues and the Champions and Europa Leagues admitted teams needed to qualify for the Champions League and Europa League in the normal way to take part next season.
The letter read: "Since participation in Uefa club competitions is determined by the sporting result achieved at the end of a full domestic competition, a premature termination would cast doubts about the fulfilment of such condition.
"UEFA reserves the right to assess the entitlement of clubs to be admitted to the 2020/21 UEFA club competitions, in accordance with the relevant applicable competition regulations."
