.... even if it takes until July-Aug-Sept to do so, perhaps with some or all behind closed doors, because not finishing will be a mess that is expected to spawn massive litigation.

There's talk of nullifying the season, freezing the table, using a points-per-match table or promoting without relegating. But not sure there would be a uniform approach across leagues.

Belgium called its season off earlier this month, proposing that the standings after 29 matches be the final standings. That decision is due to be ratified this week.

Late last week speculation was "hotting up" that the Scottish league would do something similar.

To my knowledge, none of the big leagues have talked about how they'll resolve a table and all the associated issues if they're not able to resume.
