What I would do do this season is is extend all leagues until the end of December. Then split each League into North and South and play half a season, because you have half as many games.
The top top two teams of north and south in the premier League play each other the ultimate play off. All of the leagues promote the champions to League above and any bottom clubs get relegated.
So basically for one season only you have two up two down in all professional leagues.

I said pretty much the same when it was first halted. I would play the cups at the end of the season without the internationals as they prepare for the Euros.
One bit I'm not sure about though is the 3rd relegation spot. When the playoffs first started they used to have a play off for this but there were problems with crowd trouble. Maybe, they ought to play that behind closed doors but live on BBC TV. |  | | |

Yeah, the last one was between the filth and Middlesbrough in 1988 and there was pretty bad crowd trouble in the 2nd leg of the final at the cesspit. Boro won 2-1 on aggregate to relegate them, the last time they were relegated. |  |

Perhaps the best thing to do would be to drop next season altogether and start again August 2021.
Finish this season and the European football by December and then have a long break until the European Championship in June 2021.
Maybe the tournament would be better for quality with players not tired but on the other hand they may be not match fit with five months off.
Having said that I am sure the biggest clubs could play tournaments around the world during those five months to keep the top players fit instead of doing it in July 2021.
One major drawback would be the smaller clubs probably can't afford to miss a season with lost income. [Post edited 28 Mar 2020 19:44]

They could do a 19 game season and perhaps the fa and league cups next season. Could do 2 up and 2 down instead of the usual 3. | | | |

Along with many other R’s I was stood in the shed that day , fantastic days football watching Chelsea go down and I’m pretty sure it was Clive walker who scored the winner but might be wrong |  |

I think having a southern championship League would be really good for attendances, for a season.
Same for the northern clubs. Although Gloucester city play in the northern League which is slightly odd, so there is always one team but tend to sit in the wrong League. | |
