The Belgian league has led the way: the season was stopped as the first major league in Europe. That would also be the right way for Herbert Prohaska.
Austria’s century footballers would also like a similar scenario for the domestic Bundesliga. “I prefer the Belgian model. Even if it may be too early to cancel the whole championship,” said Prohaska in ORF.
The advantages would be obvious: “Belgium has planning certainty for the coming season. You can plan a preparation. We must not forget that we have to stop the upcoming championship in May 2021 because the EM has been postponed.”
Prohaska does not consider it the right way to make the LASK Corona Champion in the event of a termination. “I am against choosing a champion, would allow promoters for fairness reasons, but would not name a relegated team and would take the table for the European Cup places.”
However, the 64-year-old does not believe in the threatened consequences from UEFA, which could extend to the European Cup exclusion. “In the next few weeks, there will also be crashes in other leagues.”
The Bundesliga continues to strive to end the season with sport. A conference after Easter should clarify. Management board member Christian Ebenbauer recently stated that the season could last until the beginning of August.
