That is the stark warning from Mansfield Town chief executive David Sharpe, who told AFP a deal was needed within a couple of weeks as clubs struggle to survive in the coronavirus era. Away from the TV-fuelled wealth of the Premier League, clubs are on their knees, deprived for months of their main source of income, with spectators barred due to tough Covid-19 rules.

“But it has to be soon. It can’t be another month of waiting. It has to be within the next week or two. The origins of the club itself, whose stadium has a capacity of around 9,000, can be traced back to 1897. However, Sharpe said even for a club as relatively stable as “The Stags”, who have never been in the top tier, the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic have been “devastating” — they face a loss of £1 million across the season.
