Do you think the new season will start as planned at the beginning of August

Because if the medical experts are to be believed it will be 6 months or more until there is any level of normality.

It isnt just a case of voiding the season and then preseason carries on as normal and the new season starts as planned.

There is no clean solution here, and I do not expect any season to start until October or November at the earliest. There needs to be a preseason of some sort.

Then you have to factor in champions league and europa league qualifiers. These start in July, so they will be delayed, which means the champions league gets delayed.

Voiding the season doesnt save clubs, and some clubs may well go under due to no crowd receipts until October/November time.
