For this reason, at least half of the clubs hope to draw the end of the season before July 1, no matter how late the game will resume.
Xinhua News Agency, London, April 15 (Reporter Zhang Wei) according to the British “Times” reported on the 15th, at least half of the 20 Premier League clubs hope that the season will end before July 1, this will become the focus of the Premier League shareholders’ meeting on the 17th.
With the spread of the new Crown pneumonia epidemic, it is still difficult to predict when the Premier League season will resume. However, more and more clubs are beginning to worry that once the season cannot end on June 30 and many players’ contracts come again, they will encounter chaos.
FIFA had previously suggested extending the player’s contract until after June 30 until the season “really ended”, but this proposal soon declared that it could not be realized. The Times said that legal experts in Britain had confirmed that under the local employment law, as long as the players whose contracts expired did not agree to the extension, the club would have no choice but to take them.
The newspaper said that many clubs had suffered enough hardships in communicating with players about delaying the payment of part of their salaries, and the contract problem would definitely cause more trouble. For this reason, at least half of the clubs hope to draw the end of the season before July 1, no matter how late the game will resume.
According to the analysis of the newspaper, judging from the current epidemic situation in Britain, it is almost impossible to resume the season before June, even if it is an empty game. However, some club managers still have confidence in the proposal to end the season before July 1. According to Premier League regulations, if a proposal is voted, 14 votes in favor can be passed.
Although the club unanimously agreed that the unfinished season would destroy the integrity of the league, some clubs believed that if players flowed before the game could not be completed, it is likely to be more destructive.
