Well there certainly wont be games behind closed doors. The football has only been suspended (against government advice) to protect the players and staff. The decision about how to move forward will be based on the ulterior motives to the clubs. I suspect those in risk or relegation will join forces with the top 5 to declare that positions stay or such like. The teams in the middle of the table will not really care. It is only Bournemouth and Villa that would feel hard done by so would be out-voted. Completely unfair but how it might go.

Players aren't secured creditors as only companies or people that have a charge over the company's assets are secured ie banks and finance companies. We have to hope that any hiatus won't affect Manchester United's ability to pay us the remaining £25m that they owe us for AWB We are secured creditors of Manchester Utd.

The government are about to ban all large gatherings everywhere. The premier league has just acted in advanced of that because playing squads and management teams have caught the virus. And then it’s not about contracting the virus but stretching and availability of emergency services. Police must be gutted their easy overtime shifts might be lost.

My point is the government hadn't banned large gatherings when the football was suspended. It was only because Arteta & Hudson-Odoi contracted the virus and a few other players self-isolated at Leicester etc. If games had been played this weekend and maybe next surely it would make it easier to finish the season over the Summer.

Then it was Leicester players, Everton players, Watford players, which could keep happening. Even before that there should have been no hospitality, no mixing players with anyone. No fans, opposition owners. Nobody. This was achievable. It happened at Blackburn when they got changed down the road when the ground was being redeveloped. Could be done everywhere with showering and changing in the stadiums.

Depending on how the virus escalates over the next 3 weeks, I think I'd rather have matches played behind closed doors than not at all. I can't see why the matches can't be televised though? Surely, government has authority to ask broadcasters and the PL to waive restrictions in the event of an emergency? They wouldn't be the only sectors having to make a sacrifice in the circumstances.
