Brighton might be fucked.

Lallana is taking over the responsibilities of head coach apparently. 

[DavidMarrio]

I will not stand by and have Lallana's name sullied by such nonsense

Games are off this weekend, thought as much

Answer:

Will they fuck.

The amount of working people out of pocket now due to this, dreadful. The official mourning guidance doesn't even recommend postponing sport.

Isn't the funeral next Saturday? So that means they'll basically be postponing two weeks worth of matches?

What happens to the English and Scottish clubs playing in the Champions League?

As mentioned, what happens to all the people who paid money for travel and accommodations who now may not be able to get fully reimbursed?

I don't think the European games will be cancelled. I don't think UEFA would consider that. 

It's not even just the people who have paid for travel/accommodation. People who work at the events are going to be out of money in times that are already particularly tough.

I was wondering more if it'd be on the table for any matches in England or Scotland (I don't think there's any other British clubs playing in Europe, apologies if there are). Like a full national sporting moratorium (for some reason). I guess we'll find out.

I imagine at most it may be national anthem played as a mark of respect along with minutes silence / black armbands. At minimum the minutes silence. 

I think the British teams at home are Liverpool, Rangers, Chelsea, City and Arsenal. Others are all away. 

From a logistics view I just can't see postponements on a European competition level due to the World Cup. 

I'm sure I read the next free midweek for potential Prem games is in January. 

[Dang117]

It's going to be hard enough for them to try and fit these games in now given how the calendar is all the way till the world cup. But if the British clubs playing in Europe decide they won't play but UEFA won't agree would thst potentially mean that our clubs forfeit the game?

This was my biggest thought. There's been so much thumping about regarding the condensed schedule, how the World Cup has caused a unique calendar for the year, etc. Queen dies and suddenly "oh actually it's not that hard to adjust the schedule."

I'm sure Klopp among others will be very vocal come mid-February when they've played like 8 matches in 26 days or something ridiculous.

On the plus side, bonus mini pre-season

You could say that all these people are... *ahem*... Royally fucked by this predicament.

[FLiam]

Chelsea/Liverpool & United/Leeds matches this weekend are officially postponed.

No idea why a match can’t be held in Manchester??

[Dang117]

Police presence, wouldn't surprise me if all get called off again

[FLiam]

Are they having to call on police from Manchester down to London then? 

I’m very confused. 

[Dang117]

That's my understanding from the fact they have been relaying with the UK Football Policing Unit
