"The fact is that if we do not end this season and do not have a start date for next season then we as a club will run out of money in August," the club's chairman Mike Garlick tells Sky Sports.
The Premier League announced this week that the season will resume when it is judged to be safe enough, citing the uncontrolled spread of infection.
Burnley announces that it is a total loss of £ 50 million (just over SEK 620 million) if the season is not completed.
-It's not just about Burnley or any other club anymore. It's about the entire football ecosystem, from the Premier League onwards and the business community that lives on that ecosystem, says Garlick.
