I really hope they will, but with no supporters allowed back in to grounds for basically the whole season how can clubs put games on and survive?
You could say that clubs still have to pay the players and the staff. The ground still has to be maintained and the clubs do have some season ticket money and TV money plus income from follow, merchandise etc., Costs of putting a game on will be a lot less but you still have to travel to away matches, stay in hotels, pay some match day staff.
It would seem that stopping the football, unless there is a risk to the players from the virus (see Orient) then surely the games will go ahead?
You'd like to think the obscene amount of money swirling round the PL would be shared out fairer, but we know the likely answer to that!
So, I think the season will continue but we could see some clubs fold, although hopefully not.
Thoughts?
