I disagree. Unfortunately there will still need to be an asterisk - pre & post covid football are two different competitions - yes they would have won the normal

Wrong as usual
This season has completed over 75%. Next season hasn't even started.
Given potential 2nd peak of covid_19 it makes more sense to try to finish this one next season than start afresh.
Better to finish this one and either scrap or shorten 2020-21 campaign

Jurgen Klopp quotes lack of energy as his reason for leaving Liverpool at end of season. I really hope his health is good.
Klopp's been brilliant for Liverpool but his impact has been detrimental to
