Not to mention that it is the taxpayer who are stepping up to pay the wages of the non-playing staff!
You would think a football club would be able to cover three months pay of their cleaners. Certainly Premier League clubs anyway!
I'm a bit confused by this as well, surely the clubs already have the bulk of their revenes banked, ie TV and marketing rights etc, the only thing they miss out on at the moment is match day receipts.
Anyway I still think the league will be resumed mid to late May, I think its way to much of an over reaction to cancel all sport long term, get proper testing in place and play behind closed doors once this lockdown eases up.
The tennis being cancelled is the one that baffles me, along with golf, I mean if there are 2 sports I would have thought were fairly safe then its those two. Yes I know you need officials etc but even so it must be possible to do that safely.
