The coronavirus pandemic continues to muddle the world of sport as the Premier League season was last week put on hold until April 30th at the earliest, and the hot takes have been flying all over the place.
Joe Cole says this season must start all over again if it can’t be finished, even if it denies #LFC the title 🤔 pic.twitter.com/E86N4mJzA5

Yet Joe Cole’s idea of what to do with the Premier League season has caused some outrage amongst Liverpool supporters, with the former midfielder suggesting to The Daily Star that the 2019/20 campaign should be completely restarted despite the Reds being within touching distance of the title.
What will the conclusion be...
Win the Premier League our own way
Handed the Premier League title
And this take was slammed to no end on social media by a wave of Liverpool supporters, who believed that their former player was just bitter about the Reds coming close to winning the Premier League title, as well as a season restart heavily benefitting Cole’s boyhood club West Ham who are just above the relegation zone.
Here’s what many Liverpool supporters had to say on Twitter about Cole’s comments…
Rubbish

It is expected that the Premier League season will resume at some point with EURO 2020 being postponed to 2021.
