LONDON - Warring English Premier League clubs will meet on Monday with tensions mounting over the divisive 'Project Restart' plan to finish the season amid the coronavirus crisis.
The Premier League has been halted since March 13, but he offered no details about its short-term future and indicated that, while the general population will be allowed to play sports from Wednesday, they must do so only with those in their own households. Britain's death toll from the pandemic passed 30,000 last week to become the worst-hit country in Europe. By contrast, Germany has registered just over 7,000 deaths.
Comprehensive testing is believed to be part of the protocols required for a restart, with the BBC reporting that this could cost about £30,000 a week. Some 40,000 tests - at between £150 and £180 each - for the remaining 92 fixtures are expected to be required with each person tested twice a week. There are also fears over fans congregating at home stadiums, even though the matches would be played behind closed doors.
"What we can't accept is a fundamental change to the competition three-quarters of the way through," Barber said."That is not fair and there is absolutely nobody who will convince me otherwise."Seven of the 20 top-flight clubs would need to officially reject neutral venues to stop the plan going ahead, although it has been reported the issue will not be put to a vote on Monday.
