Premier League clubs expressed their commitment to complete the current season, while its representatives did not address the possibility of its termination on June 30, as was likely in their meeting today, which is joyful news for the leaders of the club, the leaders of the standings by a difference of 25 points (and more games) for the defending champion Manchester City.
The talk during the meeting, which was via video calling technology, was limited to various scenarios to end a season.
No representative of any club touched on the possibility of ending the season on June 30, as press reports yesterday reported that an increasing number of clubs are demanding this.
The meeting also did not address the issue of reducing the players ’salaries or the date for the opening of the transfer market.
"We are fully aware of the sadness caused by the" Covid-19 "epidemic and our thoughts with all of those who have been harmed by it," a Premier League spokesman said.
"We are working on complex scenarios with various of our partners, including television networks, and our goal is to be in a position where we can play safely with the full support of the government," he added.
"The health and safety of the players, the coaches and the club's staff is a priority for us and the league will resume its activities only when the medical devices allow it," he added.
"Our goal is still to end the season, but for the time being, all dates are estimated at the time that the Coruna virus is circulating," he concluded.
Football matches in England, like other countries in Europe and the world, stopped in mid-March, specifically after the matches of the twenty-ninth stage (out of 38), with Liverpool leading 25 points (and more games) than defending champions Manchester City.
The British authorities recommended that quarantine be maintained at least until the seventh of May, and thus the football authorities hope to improve the health conditions during this period in the hope of resuming the activity.
