Paul Ince insists there will be ‘uproar’ if Liverpool are denied the Premier League title due to the season being declared null and void.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have dominated the current campaign, winning 27 of
their 29 league games and are only two victories from being crowned as
Premier League champions for the first time.
However, the
coronavirus pandemic has brought the world of sport to its knees and has
seen major sporting events either postponed or cancelled altogether.
The
COVID-19 outbreak has also led to calls for the current campaign to be
declared as null and void which would see Liverpool harshly denied the
title.
For Ince, the campaign must reach its conclusion.
‘It’s a tricky situation because you can’t please everyone,’ Ince said.
‘Can you imagine 30 years of waiting to win the season and, when
you’re on the brink, they end up making the season null and void?
‘The uproar that would cause in Liverpool. Would we rather upset one team to make everyone else happy or give it to Liverpool?
‘We have to complete the season whatever happens and, if that’s in May or June, you’re only talking nine games.
‘Whether it’s behind closed doors or not, that’s for others to decide but there’s too much on the line for everybody, not just Liverpool.’
Premier League clubs are due to meet again on Friday when it’s almost
certain the current postponement of all matches until April 30 will be
extended once again.
Ince added: ‘Even relegation from the Premier League, it’s too close, so it’s crystal clear that we have to finish the season.
‘We don’t know how long this is going to last for but making it null and void doesn’t make sense.’
