At the very least it would rob the Scousers of the title!
There is already rows and disagreement in the EFL (Championship, Leagues 1&2) about what should happen - Tranmere have pointed out that even using points per game to calculate a table isn't accurate (depends on which teams you have played - if in PL you had played Liverpool, Man City & Utd, Arsenal, Chelski you might have a lower PPG than if you had played Saints, Villa, Norwich & Brighton). So the big row is obviously can you promote and relegate on this basis?
If you try to play all the remaining games, yet again the bigger clubs with the bigger and better squads have an advantage due to the number of games played in a short period - the Germans are already worrying about how their squads will cope with ?8 games in about 6 weeks.
I know teams like Leeds & West Brom will miss out on promotion to PL and Stevenage will stay in EFL despite their poor record, but with about a quarter of the season left to go it doesn't seem fair to make decisions based on a part of the season.
