MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - England's Premier League clubs will hold a video conference call between themselves on Thursday as they begin to sketch out a way to complete the suspended season and tackle the financial damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
While some clubs are reported to be urging a quick return and games being played behind closed doors, there have also been talks of cutting the season short, or even declaring it"null and void". However, there are also powerful motives for completing the season in full.Last week all elite soccer matches in England, including the Premier League, Football League and Women’s Super League , were suspended until April 4.
A large question mark remains on when the season can resume but that will not stop clubs and officials from trying to come up with a plan for a best-case scenario. It would also ensure they provided their broadcast partners, domestically and internationally, with a full and complete season in line with their contracts.
