Carragher denies Liverpool motive as he insists why season must finish Jamie Carragher has explained why it won’t be Liverpool who feel the effects most if the current season does not reach a conclusion. All professional football in England has been suspended until at least the end of April as the country reacts to the coronavirus pandemic, leading to worries among Liverpool supporters that they will not win the Premier League in the circumstances they wanted to. The Reds were 25 points clear at the top of the table at the time of the action being paused, needing just two more wins to secure their first league title of the Premier League era. However, with doubts now arising over how the season will be finished – with games perhaps having to be rescheduled behind closed doors – or even if it will be finished at all, former Anfield hero and current Sky Sports pundit Carragher has explained why 2019-20 must come to a conclusion, not just for the benefit of his old side. He told Sky‘s The Debate: “Nothing is more important than health and beating the coronavirus, but I don’t think we should hide away from how much football means to us and how important it is in people’s lives – not just Liverpool supporters but everyone right up and down the country. “It doesn’t bother me when football starts again. I just feel that so much has been put into this season by so many people, I don’t know how you can stop it. “We all know Liverpool were, or are, going to go on and win the league. They only need to win one or two games. “But if the league stops, it just doesn’t feel right. Yes, Liverpool may be given the league, that’s what people are saying. But there will always be something there that just didn’t feel quite right about it. “But that’s not going to affect Liverpool economically, or what division they are in. Teams going out of the Premier League really struggle to get back into the Premier League, so that could affect them for four or five years. “If Leeds don’t get up this season, for example, that could stop them for four or five years and maybe they lose their manager, who knows? “That’s why I say Liverpool isn’t the most important thing. It’s the teams who are going to lose huge sums of money in completely different divisions. “So this season has to finish because it impacts next season, because of European places and Champions League places and so on. “Whenever the date is that we get back to playing football, it needs to be finished. Then we have to be creative with next season.” The post Carragher denies Liverpool motive as he insists why season must finish appeared first on teamtalk.com.
