Club boss Tony Bloom of Brighton and Hove Albion believes there should be no relegations if the season in the English Football Premier League ends. “It would be very difficult to relegate a club if the season didn’t end,” said Bloom. “The strength of previous opponents would not be taken into account.”

His club is on a non-relegation zone
Bloom’s team would not be affected by relegation if it were canceled immediately. Brighton, the ex-club of the Austrian Markus Suttner, is in 15th place in the table after 29 of 38 rounds. The lead over the relegation zone is two points.
The 20 Premier League clubs had agreed on Friday to definitely close the current season despite the coronavirus pandemic. However, no deadline was set for this. British media had previously reported that several clubs were planning not to play beyond June 30th. Hosting all 92 games still pending by then seems difficult to implement.
