Except it’s nowhere as simple as you’d like it to be.
I understand the argument for scrapping it and starting again. I really do. But it just doesn’t add up.
Two problems:
1. You say scrap this season so we don’t sacrifice the next one as well. But you can’t guarantee when the next season will start. Let’s say football doesn’t start until December again. Then you can’t fulfil 2020/21 either. So what’s the point of sacrificing 2019/20 until we’re in a position to know that? Why risk binning off two seasons when we might possibly only disrupt one?
2. The second theory behind ‘drawing a line under it’ is that everyone can move on, then start again on a level playing field. Why should we? Why should Chorley start in the same division as Barrow, on the same points, with the same transfer window? They don’t deserve to, and the only people they have to blame are themselves. Why should County start at the same point as Harrogate? We don’t deserve to.
Every club agreed to fulfil a full season of fixtures. That is what they should do.
