Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has blasted suggestions that the 2019-20 Premier League season should be declared null and void due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Recall that Karren Brady, West Ham United’s vice-chairman, recently revealed that the entire campaign should be ended with no teams declared champions or relegated.
Her words, “No escaping the fact now, football in England is entering its most devastating period in 75 years,”
“There is no dodging the possibility that all levels in the EFL, as well as the Premier League, will have to be cancelled and this season declared null and void because if the players can’t play the games can’t go ahead.
“The PL hopes that an interlude of three weeks from today will enable it to restart but that may well be dreamland.
“So what if the league cannot be finished? As games in both the PL and in the EFL are affected, the only fair and reasonable thing to do is declare the whole season null and void.
“Who knows who would have gone down or come up if the games have not actually been played in full?
Reacting, Carragher wrote on social media, “Have a look at Klopp’s comments compared to Karren Brady’s”
“What’s fair is to finish the season for teams in every league when the football is allowed to start again.
“The football authorities found a way to put a World Cup in the middle of a season so I’m sure they can sort next season out.”
