He just shown the nasty side of his again. This guy was laughing at Liverpool before a second leg match with Barcelona. To me he is just a cheap greed and was over rated during his life time as a player.

I am fine if they decide to Stop the league now and teams remain where they are. Liverpool wins the title. By teams remaining where they are, Man U goes to CL because City is banned for 2 yrs. I am good with that. Pool deserves the title.
-
He is x United…. See where are they. Are.. On other hand their rival on top….
-
Just void the premier league for good Liverpool should boycott the league just let Leeds up or something for next season
-
Finish the season when possible. Play 2 League games a week if you have to. The FA cup and Champions League are almost done anyway. Have a shorter pre-season next year.
-
He would be calling it “Silly” if MAN UTD was in Liverpool’s position and didn’t win the title.

Self serving ex man utd player..come on .forget all this void stuff..FINISH THE LEAGUE WHEN ITS RIGHT TO DO SO..AND STOP BEING GREEN EYED AND JEALOUS ABOUT LIVERPOOLS DOMINANCE..THERE ARE PEOPLE LOSING THEIR JOBS, TEAMS LOSING MILLIONS AND FANS MISSING OUT…forget your own interests RIO. Can you imagine kenny dalglish saying void the league if man utd were 25 points clear? I'm sure Rio wouldn't agree then. WHAT A COP OUT .NOBODY IS PUTTING PEOPLES HEALTH BEFORE FOOTBALL. A HUGE SMOKESCREEN RIO…AND WE CAN SEE THRU IT…FINISH THE LEAGUE WHEN ITS RIGHT TO DO SO..THERE YOU HAVE IT..ANYTHING ELSE AND YOU HAVE YOUR OWN MOTIVES, WHICH ARE YOUR REAL REASON.

It is life or death for some people

LiVARpool may be 20+ points clear but there’s still 1/4 of the season to play… not like there’s only a couple games left
-
Also the issue for the majority of teams is money. The higher you finish in the league the more money you get, let’s just agree that everyone in the Premier League gets the same amount of money no matter what and allow a play-off game to decide all the positions that haven’t already been decided. Then it’s just a matter of honour not a matter of financial collapse
-
The season has already played 3/4 of its games. Why would you even need to void a competition that is that far advanced. Either play the remaining games or play a shortened amount of the remaining games, or play all of the remaining games and cut the full amount of games of next season to sync the calendar back up. Or call the league as it is right now because so much football has already been played. Alternatively for the positions that are not completely nailed on allow a one off play-off match of those teams and whoever wins claims the position
-
Everyone forgot of the contract signed by the live telecast with the rest of the world!
If it's been void then the contract will be void too. So these smaller club would need to fork out the money gain from the league cause the contract is void!
Prepare to do that Rio? -
Just give liverpool the trophy!!!!
-
Rio was a great player but as a pundit he is a mug.
Don’t start a new season if this one isn’t finished. Simple. It’s not just about Liverpool but the bottom 3, champions league etc -
This season must end before the next one starts. No matter what.
-
yes, give liverpool the championship already
-
Its 9 games and 10 for 4 teams and not 10 and 11, also changes can be made to next season a season which hasn't started yet , instead of creating mayhem by cancelling and voiding a season when 75% of it has been played and hundreds of thousands in tv money would have to be returned, if this happens no team will qualify for cl and el and no team will get promoted to pl. Saying many want season null and voided but it isn't because of the virus and safety as season can be completed when it's safe to play, it's about fans of teams who hate Liverpool and not wanting them to win the title and its about teams who are facing relegation wanting to use the current situation to keep them up and be rewarded for having a bad season. Unless all major European leagues cancel and void this season it would be difficult for epl to take this stance, and the financial and legal wrangles would probably scare any federation from taking that decision. If a new season can start then the current one can be concluded or league standings as they stand will be considered as final but you can not say this season has never happened, because then fans should be refunded for every game they paid to watch in the stadium or through tv subscription (because that match never happened), every transfer Summer and January should be voided. Funny how no mention of how many want the season to be concluded, also if God forbid this happens again next year do we keep voiding seasons
-
Can’t you just continue the season when it’s safe to do so
-
Needless to say, voiding the season has zero chance
-
England and France already have their champion it would be unfair if Liverpool did not get the trophy.
-
This season has to finish no mater how much delayed.
Next season if too much delayed ( IF), can be played one leg matches all in neutral grounds after agreeing on financial way to satisfy everyone involved. -
Just give them the title the season can't be finshed
-
Even during a global pandemic rio's got his man u hat on.
Everybody can see through this. -
Dont let liverpool crown that premier league title.that make me happy.
-
They should crown Liverpool and game is over….im saying this as a Man City fan. But they deserve to win. LiVARpool shenanigans and all as its part of this generation of Football until they get better with VAR
-
He is right and I don't support Man U or Liverpool. Nothing happen until the virus is fully gone. Players will need at least a months training. It's highly unlikely you can play any football until September. Just give Liverpool the title.
-
Amazing that liverpool fans ignore people dying and a whole global catastrophe just for their title. You don't see juventus,barca, bayern fans going all moronic about winning the title. If you wanna speak about rare success, then why aren't people crying about leipzig rearching the quarter finals in champions league or atalanta?
Liverpool fans are disgraceful here -
Just give Liverpool the trophie I mean it ain't man city was going to catch up. Just give them the dam trophie and be over with.
-
NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY. lock this guy up.
-
There will be no more football this year so I personally think we should finish the domestic leagues, cups and European cups then make a 1 off league season which is made up of 2 mini leagues
-
Shut up rio, that is the most biased thing I’ve ever seen.
-
I think they should pause the season and then finish it when you can. Then they can shorten the next season.
