Many Liverpool fans have slammed the mentality of certain parties calling for the 2019/20 Premier League season to be voided amid the current coronavirus pandemic.
The issue was raised by Empire of the Kop on Twitter (@empireofthekop), blasting the “ignorant” mindset of those advocating that the season be declared null and void if it cannot be resumed in the foreseeable future. The English professional season is currently due to resume on 30 April but, as noted by Sky Sports, key stakeholders have agreed that it cannot recommence until it is “safe and appropriate to do so”.
Weird how desperate some are to void the season. Don't they understand the potential ramifications? *OBVIOUSLY* health is paramount, and *NOTHING* should compromise that, but trying to sort out a safe way to finish the season is important. Don't be so ignorant.

West Ham co-chairperson Karren Brady, TV personality Piers Morgan and ex-Premier League players Tony Adams, Joe Cole and Rio Ferdinand have all said that the season ought to be either scrapped or restarted. Also, some Manchester United fans on social media were trolling Liverpool over that possibility, with the Reds on the brink of winning a first league title in 30 years if the season can be completed on the pitch.
The tweet from @empireofthekop sparked a response from these Reds fans on Twitter, who also hit out at those calling for the Premier League season to be scrapped:
That’s true. Also, the premier league has always being characterized as a gentlemen’s league if you compare it to others like the Spanish. Deliberately affecting one team, instead of digging harder for a solution, goes against those values. No team should be harmed.

Football is about passion, football is about togetherness, football is about romance. Anybody denying Liverpool the title this year, don’t understand football, don’t understand life!

Voiding all football would effectively send a lot of teams into administration as they have to refund season tickets and sponsorship. It would be a disaster for the English game. But other fans would be happy to see this happen to disappoint us

I always wonder where these haters come from and why. Is it just us or is it every team who’s going to win the league, if it is just, WHY the hatred ?. YNWA.

If you asked they to have next season start now they will say yes. Cause they all want their football fix, The void the season is purely for Liverpool to not win the league it’s a fact.

The season must be completed fully , the premier league clubs who are looking for the season to be finished obviously have nothing to play for or fighting a relegation battle.
Voiding this season then a few months later starting another doesn’t make sense— garymccann (@garymccann3) April 2, 2020
Even in this emergency, they are bothered about Liverpool winning the PL.
