Former Manchester United player Gary Neville slams club owners for remaining silent
London — Gary Neville has accused English Premier League clubs of being “frightened to death” to publicly back the plan to restart the season.
The French and Dutch seasons have been called off because of the health crisis and while the Premier League has apparently earmarked a June return, that date is far from set in stone. When Neville was asked by a Twitter user what would happen if someone died as a result of the restart, he said: “That’s why we haven’t heard one single prominent CEO/chairman/owner or executive open his mouth to back the restart! Scared to death of the liability and blame.”
Despite Neville’s outspoken claims, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish did make the case for returning to action in a Sunday Times column.
