Liverpool legend, Kenny Dalglish has come out to say that the 2019-20 season has to count for something for Liverpool after its suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Kenny revealed that only those with an agenda will believe it would be senseless to give Liverpool the title after their 25-point lead over Manchester City with nine games left.
According to him, the league and other competitions must be finished in our backyard even if it means players will have to play for 3 weeks during May and June.
He added that he does not support declaring the season null and void.
His words, “Would any person without an agenda really think it would be the most-sensible outcome to deny Liverpool their chance of winning the title after doing fantastically well in their 29 league games so far to build up a 25-point lead over Manchester City with nine games remaining?”
“My first thought is that we must be given time to finish the competitions in our own backyard.
“If that means we need to play every second night for three weeks during May, or even into June, then so be it.
“It’s far from ideal, I know, but every club would be in the same boat, so it would be a level playing field.
“What must definitely not happen is for the 2019-20 campaign to be declared null and void.”
“We just need to hope that in the short term, as many people as possible are safe and well and free from the virus,”
“Football is quite rightly playing second fiddle to worldwide health issues, and we can never underestimate the importance of it all.
“That, of course, is my main concern just now and I wish everyone well and good health.”
