The coronavirus 19 Effect on Non League divisions and grassroot games

Apparently the Non League divisions and grassroot games are to end. Since no teams are going to be promoted, the decisions made afterwards could have a spill over effect on the top leagues including EPL should this corona issue persist for sometime.

"All English soccer below the three divisions of the fifth tier National League will end immediately due to the coronavirus pandemic with all results from the season expunged, the FA said on Thursday.

The top three National League divisions, the Women’s Super League and women’s championship remain in talks about how best to conclude their seasons.

However, with no new teams promoted into those leagues, they could decide to follow suit which would then affect the men’s professional divisions.

The Premier League and other top level soccer in England is suspended until at least April 30 but the governing bodies have said the current season can be extended indefinitely"

I believe this is a good development from the fronts. persuading the lower leagues to accept voidance and perhaps will be compensated one way or the other.
But the women league, premier league, champions league, and both efl 1 and 2 must conclude their season.

It will be bad to deny liverpool a trophy in 30 years.
or leeds a promotion in so many years at the champions league.

Likewise, sheffield and wolve could get denied a champions league spot.

Just play out the league, whenever
