Only Premier League will re start if it happens. Simply cannot have 91 different teams playing all over the country at neutral venues.
And you cant play at home behind closed doors, because idiots will always turn up.

I think the Prem and Championship will resume as they are the only leagues that can actually make money while playing behind closed doors.

For all other leagues, playing behind closed doors will cost far more money than they make and would drive clubs closer to going bust instead of saving them.

I keep hearing this excuse.

Just be firm, anyone who goes to ground, will be banned for life.

And why would you go to the ground, to just stand outside, when you can watch it home.

It’s been used as an excuse not to restart the league.

What go we think about the shorter game?

(Something that’s been mooted!)

People turning up isn't the major reason.

The reason for neutral grounds is to make sure football is played in areas where the public services can cope easily and won't be effected.

And to make sure the football is in grounds that make social distancing as easy as possible. Some old grounds don't have the suitable facilities to keep the distance between people that don't need to come into contact with the players and those that do. Obviously players, coaches, physios and refs will be close to each other but no one else needs to be.

Complete joke of a suggestion.

Its so ridiculous I suspect the originator of this might actually be trying to throw a spanner in the works. Its sabotage I tell you!

Taylor's members will be well paid even if there is no resumption. So I'm not expecting him to be constructive.

If the German league does actually get started, it will be difficult for the PL not to follow. If Germany fails, that will be the end of the season in England too.

Yeah, the 'concern' from PL doctors has come from just 4 clubs according to the Telegraph.

Premier League clubs fear doctor survey is being exploited to stall return
Responses to the letter came from just four clubs rather than anything resembling a majority

By

Premier League clubs are concerned that a routine request to first-team doctors for questions over hygiene and medical protocols around Covid-19 has been used against the league in an attempt to undermine the resumption of the season.

The Premier League is understood to have issued a document that was sent to all clubs asking for doctors to respond with questions over procedure and wider-ranging inquiries about medical liability which was then collated to be answered in detail. The head of the Premier League Doctors’ Group, Zaf Iqbal, of Crystal Palace, formerly a Liverpool first-team doctor, is expected to work through the questions in consultation with government experts to produce guidelines on any issues not already covered.

The Premier League, as well as at some clubs, are now concerned that this question and answer exchange has been leaked with the intention of it being presented in some quarters as doctors at Premier League clubs being fearful about the season resuming.

It is understood that the only responses to the letter, sent by Premier League medical advisor Mark Gillett and director of football Richard Garlick, came from just four clubs.

There is a major split in the Premier League between the bottom six clubs and the rest, with those in the final six places resisting attempts to start the season again. They have so far done so on the basis that they do not want to play the remaining games on neutral grounds, as per the Premier League’s Project Restart plan. They have also asked that relegation be abolished for this season, a measure that the other 14 – as well as broadcast partners – have told them is impossible.

The top 14 clubs want to begin training in groups on May 18 with a return to action in the season tentatively scheduled for between June 8 and June 12. The league only needs 14 votes to push through a majority vote but feels it must have all 20 clubs in full support to overcome the obvious challenges to playing in the coronavirus pandemic

Simple as that. We need them to succeed and then follow the blueprint.
