LONDON - Former English Football Association chief executive Mark Palios has warned the cost of the coronavirus to lower-league clubs could be even larger than the £200 million forecast by officials.
Rick Parry, the chairman of the English Football League , which governs the three divisions below the Premier League, estimated the cost of lockdown earlier this month."Whilst you may look at the 'hole' which has been articulated as £200 million to September - I think it's bigger than that," he told Sky News.
He said the impact of the coronavirus meant EFL rules that hit insolvent clubs with points penalties should be relaxed. Although points deductions can be appealed on the grounds of force majeure events, Palios also called for a clarification of rules regarding clubs which entered administration. "This is a consequence of a pandemic, so I think they need to be considering that clubs may need to go to the protection of administration," he said.
