If the proposal to settle the season by 30 June is put to a vote, the Premier League would require a 14-club majority to approve any decision.
Should it go through, the chances of completing a 38-game schedule would appear distinctly remote. Most teams have nine games left to play while four – Manchester City, Sheffield United, Arsenal and Aston Villa – must play 10. While clubs in Germany have returned to training, that scenario is still some way off in England.
Then there would be the issue of getting players match-fit ahead of what, even if the league was cleared to resume behind closed doors at the start of June, would be an intense schedule.
The Daily Mirror backs up the story claiming at least nine Premier League clubs are pushing for a definitive end to the 2019/20 season to be established, and are aiming for the end of June.
Sky sources have also confirmed the end of June proposal is in front of Premier League club chairman today by saying Premier League clubs will try to agree on a way to end the current season, in a meeting this morning. An increasing number of clubs are rumoured to want a cut-off date of June 30th for the season to be finished, so they can start ‘forward planning’.
