If we go ahead with the season playing all the remaining games behind closed doors at neutral venues, it is only for the benefit of all the businesses that have got fingers in the pie like advertisers, betting companies and TV etc.
Football without fans is really boring, like all your favourite rock bands playing without any music alright as a novelty one-off acapella, but you don't want to sit through that every time.
The more sensible predictions around are that things are unlikely to go back to anywhere normal this year, with a possible second wave when the first one eventually ends.
So why not just put the season on hold for the rest of the year, and continue if and when it is safe to do so next year.
There are still 9 or 10 games to go for Premier League teams, the F.A Cup has only reached the Quarter Final stage, and Europe is only at the last 16 stage.
So Man City for example could still have 19 games to fit in.
So even if we started in June and they played twice a week, they still wouldn't finish until mid August just in time for the start of next season.
If they have to play at neutral venues I suggest the Ottmar Hitzfeld Stadium in Switzerland, no fans in or around the ground as you have to take 2 cable cars to get there 😁
