Premier League chiefs have resolved not to shut down the season, despite clubs holding secret meetings about taking a ‘coronavirus break’, the UK Mirror reports.

Some clubs have discussed a two-week temporary halt in January, as the football is in serious danger of descending into farce.

The Premier League on Tuesday, announced a record number of positive tests, with 18 detected in the week between Monday, December 21 and Sunday, December 27.

But League bosses have no intention of suspending the season.

Government chiefs have also offered reassurance that there are no plans to stop top flight football or elite sport despite the rise in cases.

Manchester City’s clash at Everton on Monday night was called off, following an outbreak of the pandemic in the club’s first team bubble.

If further positive cases are confirmed, City’s game at Chelsea on Sunday will also be postponed, leading to more fixture pile-up for the Blues.

Hmmmmm. Coro

It will affect clubs with many covid cases

See mancity now
If they must play match dey will have the weak team fit to play
If they lose the coaches will blame the decision to continue


It will only help club with enough squad for rotation lyk Chelsea

This people should put health first before any other thing...

They can suspend it for 3 weeks or a month to see how this menace could be curtailed.


The health security of the players is at risk here.


Security first before any other thing!

please it should go back to that normal behind closed doors that was implemented before fans were allowed..
I think shutting it down may affect the flow of fixtures when they resume back and also the big teams still in European competition but if thats the only way, they should shut it because its health first..
