Premier League Sets A New Deadline For Resumption

 

According to the Daily Mail, the English Premier League intends to restart games that must be held behind closed doors on the first weekend of May.

Officials are looking at Sunday, July 12 as the scheduled finish date.

The proposals will be discussed extensively on a conference call by the 20 clubs on Friday.

However, it would need to be endorsed by the Government, public health bodies and the PFA.

The Premier League is trying to fight financial losses and potential legal threats caused by the coronavirus shutdown.

There are obligations with broadcasters, who have a watertight £3billion-a-year deal which expires on July 31, with next season’s deal kicking in the following day.

Fixtures are currently suspended until April 30 at the earliest.
