Raeding all the stuff emerging about the premier league restarting
and appreciating that its only sport and there are more important things in life at the moment, I just can't shake the feeling that somehow Norwich City are going to end up getting screwed by whatever solution emerges.
It probably doesn't help that somehow I appear to have read an article that has allowed the Birmingham Mail to send me articles on Facebook and they are utterly, utterly obsessed with justifying why West Brom should be promoted. However the mood music certainly seems to be moving towards finishing behind closed doors and there is little or no mention of the fact that even that is not fair. I worry that such is our financial need for the tv monies we may not resist a contrived finish to the season that results in our relegation as much as we should.
I know on the balance of play over the season we don't really deserve to stay up but after we got scr*wed in 1985, after we got scr*wed by the ban after Heysel would it really be fair (if it can't be completed) for us to potentially be one of the first teams ever relegated based on an uncompleted season (on some sort of points per game system) or indeed is it actually "fair" for Leeds and West Brom to be promoted if the championship can't finish its season. I don't really think it is.
