'Wealth before health': Premier League slammed for plan to resume playing in MAY

Football fans have reacted with fury at the Premier League's plan to resume the season behind closed doors in May, in an attempt to avoid losing out on £762million in television deal rebates.

Sportsmail exclusively revealed the extraordinary plan on Monday night, in which the Premier League are plotting an ambitious return on the first weekend of May, just over a month from now.

The country is currently in the grips of the coronavirus pandemic, and it is expected that there will not be any let-up in the coming weeks, leading to fans' anger over the prospective plans.
