Nah it's what's going round today since midnight when The Times reported it. Probably be officially announced later today. 

BBC news a few minutes ago said The Times report was not accurate and there are currently no plans.

Euro's need to be cancelled, not yet probably but if the situation continues, disappointing but it isn't the end of the world. Don't see the point postponing it and messing up years of football calendar.

It will be easier to make a decision on the Euros which hasn't started yet. Competitions/leagues that are already underway will be more difficult. I feel it would be good to get the season finished even if behind closed doors, but then you have the issue of cup finals with no crowd as well as the problem of certain matches being postponed if players are in quarantine - and things could then get very messy.

I suspect this weekends games will be played behind closed doors, but by the time it gets to the weekend after there will be too many squads in quarantine to complete the fixtures. Last thing they need is more teams having games in hand and complicating the early ending of the season even more.

 

Also, if any competition is going to get wiped off, unfortunately for us it will be the FA Cup. Could you imagine though, finally getting to a cup final and then it being played in an empty stadium, with everyone forced to watch it in isolation at home.

And yet ironically it's the competition which could be completed in the quickest time. Could literally be done in a week behind closed doors.

And played in front of the least spectators. Could be completed with a total crowd not much higher than a round of PL league matches.

I think it's just a matter of time before they announce it.

With the exception of Liverpool winning the league, I'd be very happy with the current table being the final league standings and starting whole new season when it's safe to do so. We'll be in the Champions League, Villa relegated and Big Nige having kept Watford up. Just end the league and start the new campaign when we can. Up the City!

If the season is abandoned the silver lining would be Covid-19 Liverpool 18.

Exclusive: A Premier League club is testing all its players for #coronavirus after three players displayed symptoms. 

The league is under huge pressure to cancel matches, rather than simply play behind closed doors.

Is that because on one hand you dont want Liverpool to win the league, but on the other it means that we won't qualify for the Champions League?

 

Its a terrible dilemma!!
