Chris Sutton has called on Neil Doncaster and the SPFL to declare the winners and losers in Scotland as we enter what looks like a lengthy period of no football.
The Scottish football governing bodies finally put a halt to the season with the coronavirus set to take hold in the UK. The numbers are getting greater by the day and we can no longer risk the outcome of causing more problems by holding mass gatherings.
Of course, with the league shut down with no end date in sight, the people who have capitulated are shouting for a null and void league.
Neil Lennon made it clear with over 2/3 of the season gone and the massive gap, the bhoys should be crowned champions if another ball isn’t kicked this season.
The peepel want it null and void because they blew it this year. Watch them all delete their Twitter and Facebook comments saying exactly that in the past month. Suddenly, with no football on the horizon they’ve all found their voice and think their team isn’t that bad when they don’t have to play football.
Chris Sutton makes it clear; Celtic, Liverpool, Leeds etc all deserve to be rewarded for their seasons efforts.
The relegation candidates are collateral damage to Chris.
“It was the right decision but now the authorities have to make another. It might seem trivial in the grand scheme of things but they should end the season right now – and declare Celtic champions.” Sutton told RecordSport.
“There’s no way we are going to see the game returning any time soon. The English Leagues have set a date in early April but there’s no chance of that happening.
“UEFA have rightly put the Champions and Europa Leagues on ice but there’s an argument for just writing them off completely this year and starting them up again next season.
“Neil Doncaster said the campaign can’t be made null and void and that’s fine – just declare it straight away instead.
“No doubt there will be an angry mob up in arms at the suggestion but it’s a matter of common sense. The hard work has been done by most of the clubs.
“Celtic are 13 points clear at the top, Liverpool are miles ahead in England. Leeds United have worked hard to get to the top of the Championship, Dundee United have done the hard yards up here.
“There would be outcry for the teams who get relegation, but I’m sorry, that’s just the way it is.”
