The Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, thinks plans to finish the Premier League season are “a non-starter” because fans would congregate at Anfield to celebrate Liverpool winning the title.
The Everton fan believes the season should be ended with Jurgen Klopp’s side given the title, but that seeing Liverpool win the title on the pitch – even away from home or at a neutral venue – would be too much for fans to resist.
Police have raised concerns that football matches returning behind closed doors would still result in fans ignoring social distancing guidelines to watch and celebrate in groups.
