Prem chiefs are now scrambling for a date to restart proceedings, with COVID-19 showing no signs of slowing down.
And that’s led to talk that the season could be declared null and void.
Should that occur, it means Liverpool will not be getting their hands on a first-ever Premier League title.
And Ince, who also starred for rivals Manchester United, believes there will be uproar should the Reds be denied the trophy.
He said: “It’s a tricky situation because you can’t please everyone.
“Can you imagine 30 years of waiting to win the season and, when you’re on the brink, they end up making the season null and void?
“The uproar that would cause in Liverpool. Would we rather upset one team to make everyone else happy or give it to Liverpool?
“We have to complete the season whatever happens and, if that’s in May or June, you’re only talking nine games.

“Whether it’s behind closed doors or not, that’s for others to decide but there’s too much on the line for everybody, not just Liverpool.
“Even relegation from the Premier League, it’s too close, so it’s crystal clear we have to finish the season.
“We don’t know how long this is going to last for but making it null and void doesn’t make sense.”
