Report: West Ham United’s chief executive Karren Brady expressed a note of caution on the realities of finishing the season during Thursday’s meeting between Premier League clubs

English Premier League clubs had a meeting on Thursday to discuss the way forward after the coronavirus pandemic forced the postponement of the 2019-20 campaign.

They all agreed that matches should continue to be on hold until April 30 and that the campaign must be completed.

A representative from each of the 20 English top-flight clubs joined the conference call, and while they all agreed that the season shouldn’t be declared null and void, West Ham United’s chief executive Karren Brady offered an alternative opinion.

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the Hammers chief expressed a note of caution on the realities of finishing the season, given the scale of the crisis is still very much unknown.
