I don't think they would want to void the season altogether. The possible consequences from that is just too much of a risk and no, I am not talking about Liverpool who
deserved the league title regardless rival or not.
Imagine those involves in UCL qualification spots / those in relegation or promotion. Do you think they will just let it go as per mentioned below?
IF, Euro 2020 is postponed then it will give a window/gap for league matches to be postponed and play at a later time. Plus 4 leagues already suspended their matches (

Only concerns are:
- if league suspension, it will cause a domino effect on the next few season(s) since the start will also be delayed and it will keep snowballing
- if resume behind closed door, smaller clubs will struggle with the stopping of match revenues
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/51867854voiding the season altogether may not be an option i guess.. but if it does happen, that will be very overwhelming..
we still have a fighting chance for 4th spot and in the EL.. we've just started to pick-up some form.. and the champion-in-waiting deserve to be crown.. a proper curtain close to the season is preferred..
however, nothing is more important than the players health and well-being.. suspect the decision be made to suspend the games for a few weeks and then resume it in closed stadium..
but then again, all these will still depend on the severity of coronavirus
