I reckon we are in similar waters if the June deadline is passed, thankfully we are months off that problem and have time to see how things develop.

Know its all doom and gloom but this can really be looked at as an opportunity for the league to test things out. Stuff like seeing does playing twice home and away really harm crowds, could a league split work, playoffs for Europe, etc, obviously you can't test them all but the FAI could take a few they'd like to try out and give them a go, seasons ****ed anyway may as well make the best of it and use it to try things.
Also interesting to note Gibraltar seem to have gotten rid of promotion and relegation, could be something interesting for the FAI to look into, the exact wording of that requirement.

FIFA offer very little of use. Contracts should be extended: by agreement? So no change there. Or automatically? Not remotely legal.
Does a temporary layoff constitute a breach of contract ie a player can jump ship if he wants without transfer fee ?
I think in employment law, you can be temporarily laid off for up to 7 weeks - usually in, say, a company going into examinership where there's a chance of it being bought/restructured. As a formal process, this should overrule non-payment of wages Joe Strummer mentions.
So probably the same thing holds here. But who's going to be looking at transfers now?
Tapping up has started already!
Another factor I suppose is that legislation is being drawn up on a regular basis specifically for this issue.
I don't think it's possible to say how it'd affect someone looking for a transfer tbh

Reckon April will be a huge month in how things are proceeding if things are still getting worse by the end of April then forget about season 2020.
Yeah we haven't a clue what's going on and we're on a LOI forum reacting to updates on the LOI. Giving out to people for discussing the latest news on the LOIs return rather that life in general on here is just ridiculous nit picking and completely unnecessary.
And yeah it does have to be finished in some form or else every club in the country is going to the wall because they'll have to honour contracts and potentially pay out refunds with absolutely no income whatsoever. Nevermind all the problems it'll cause regarding Europe. Abandoning the league completely would be the final nail in the coffin for clubs and considering we still have 10 months before the next season starts completely ridiculous to be even considering at this point.
The argument free zone didn't last long

Ignoring the contractual problem for a moment, and I know it doesn't affect the LOI nearly as much as other countries' leagues, but is there any merit for extending the 2019/2020 season into 2021 if need be and completely bypassing the 2020/2021 season completely.
This way "voiding" doesn't come into it. And then if all is well, start the 2021/2022 season as normal (or as normal as possible as you can with Qatar looming.
I would say if this goes on another couple of months, UEFA will probably jump in with formal guidance as to how to proceed, particularly with regards European spots.
In England, non-league seasons have been voided - so no promotion/relegation. Obviously Liverpool will be trying desperately to avoid the same thing happening further up...
