Yes, an opportunity too good to be missed for the EPL to completely kill off the EFL and keep every penny to themselves. I can't wait!

There’s discussions abound according to the times via an interview with NP about a potential payment to clubs if that was to happen. I haven’t read into it too much though...
Just on Italy, they haven’t cancelled their games, they’re just being played behind closed doors.

Mark Palios was on radio 5 last night talking about this. His suggestions included more money from the top, which he accepted was unlikely and not penalising clubs who went into administration during this period with a points penalty. Main issue is staff wages, in particular players, which must be met even though little income coming in. With reference to Rovers, he was talking about pulling certain projects for now, but perhaps understandably didn't go into more detail.

Worrying times.

Arteta has now tested positive and all EPL matches may be suspended.

If managers and players are carrying the virus, the season will surely have to be postponed / scrapped.

I know this is a lot bigger issue than football but God help the EFL dealing with that. They made a complete Horlicks (other malted drinks brands are available - I think - Ovaltine?) of the Bury and Bolton situations so I shudder at their ability to manage this.

what do they do if they scrape it do they wright off the season or do the places stand same with the prem imagine if they scrapped it and poor old Liverpool had to wait another 30 years . it would be brilliant seeing them suffer just a little . but lets just wait an see . but looking like it might be called

If that's true it will be season over because the situation is likely to be far worse on 4th April than it is now ...

The cases are decreasing in China. I think it's a good call for a few weeks rest.
