Tottenham’s hopes of Champions League football have received a boost from the chief executive of the League Managers Association Richard Bevan.
Bevan was speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme and was specifically asked if the season would be cancelled if seven clubs voted against the proposal to conclude the season at neutral venues.
He said “Yes, I think that probably is correct. The government, if they haven’t already, will be making it clear that home matches with densely populated stadia, really puts into question whether social distancing rules can be adhered to.”
If the season is cancelled then there is still a chance that either the current placings are used or a points per game method implemented but both would cause chaos and neither would be likely to gain enough votes to pass, thus the season would be simply null and void.
A voided season would mean going back to last seasons standings, there is simply no other way it could work, the teams near the bottom are very likely to stick together if they vote against neutral grounds and that means that Spurs will be back in the Champions League.
This would obviously be grossly unfair on the likes of Leicester City, Sheffield United, West Brom, Leeds United, Liverpool etc but it is what it is and from a Tottenham perspective I am personally fine with it.
Constant failure more like – less of the small time talk think big.
If the season is voided it wont go to last seasons places,UEFA have stated.The only way we make CL is by playing and finishing in the top 4,or 5th if MC get banned.Voiding the season doesn`t benefit Spurs or Levy.
UEFA have declared the Euro spots must be claimed on sporting merit, which means current standings will be used. Bottom line is we won’t qualify if it’s cancelled now.
This is why levy wants it void. (i hope you have read this james emperor)… That champions league money matters more to levy than morals and fairness.. France, belgium and holland have cancelled.. Germany are trying to restart theirs… If spurs were top of the league like the scouse then it would be a different story.
Some/many vulnerable people and pensioners i know getting properly looked after by my club. PROPERLY) TOTTENHAM and her club. I won’t hear a bad word said about them. COYTottenham. BLESS UP HARINGEY. X
I’ll accept the worst. Just want constant football back on the manor. Its not just about winning cups for me anymore. Football/life, the journey I miss most. Fck the destination. Would love the icing and cherry on top too obviously but would/will be happy with just constant cake.
Points per game method on a home and away average would give us a total of 54.2849, to Goons 53.3938,thus finishing 8th with UEFA a possibility depending on MC ban and FA Cup winners (if played) finishing above us.
No chance last season’s standings will be used. If the bottom clubs want to void the season and cut their own throats let them go ahead, but they can kiss the TV money goodbye and call in the liquidators.
