Premier League ‘meets’ tomorrow

|

The Premier League bosses will hold another video conference to morrow (Fri) in a bid to decide what’s next in the current situation.

And the answer NOTHING according to ClaretandHugh insiders although they are barely needed to confirm the obvious.

For weeks now PL officials and chairmen have been talking how to get the season restarted and it’s all pointless in the extreme.

The chairmen will meet again in early May when they will be told what they by then will already know – that there will be no easing of the lock down until the Government is convinced we are beyond the peak and we are seeing infections start to fall from the plateau they appear to have now possibly reached.

We are desperate to see some football and other sports inside our stadiums and on the box but constant meetings by the League when we know the daily situation from central government seem pointless in the extreme.

    Things are obviously being driven by money rather than health. How about this.
    All league games to be completed between September and the end of November FA cup and European cups to be abandoned

    Next and following seasons to run from January to the end of September All cup games could run in same period playingajority of games midweek

    2020 Euros to be played October/November. Same for 2022 with the world Cup being played in Doha December 2022 as already planned

    I continue to believe the season should be abandoned . There is absolutely no evidence to suggest the brakes have been applied to Covid 19 . I think it’s outrageous To even consider restarting the season because the risks of further infection far outweigh football . The PL should declare Liverpool honorary Champions and call it a day . This virus will still Be with us in August but hopefully at a level low enough to allow a normal start to the 20 / 21 season. .
