“It was agreed that the PFA, LMA, players and managers are key to this process and will be further consulted.”

Isn’t it nice of the Premier League to confirm that the fans don’t matter in this whole ‘when shall we start playing games again’ madness?

Jock Stein’s famous ‘football is nothing without fans’ quote certainly appears to be redundant if this latest statement is anything to go by.

With the coronavirus crisis likely to be a long-term issue, it is certainly understandable that the Premier League is exploring ways to complete the 2019/20 campaign.
