Echo News Playing behind closed doors could cost Southend United £700,000

There's a slight problem with the season being extended, players contracts would expire and that would cause chaos.

whilst we deserve relegation the real problem is at the top of the league there are 7 clubs that can claim that they would have got promoted if the season had been finished, how do you decide which one goes up and how do you justify it to the others? the legal implications would be fascinating.

As far as I understand football contracts run to the end of June. So long as matches don't spill over into July that isn't an issue.
 
It might be a get out of jail card for "Dodgy Ron". The club goes bust, but Roots Hall and the training ground are owned by his companies.He would then endeavour to get planning permission on both properties.Bingo,profit from developments !! What a horrible scenario.
 
They could just call the season null and void, there would be objections on all sides no matter what they decide.

after all we could claim we would have stayed up had the season not been abandoned.

That made me smile.
