Genuine questions here re. playing out the rest of the season with players and staff in quarantine camps. Does this mean that players will be forced to leave their families behind so they can be isolated? Will all player’s families be forced to quarantine within these “camps” if

they don’t want to be alone? Does this include children? Parents? If not, what if player’s other halves are due to give birth? Children’s birthdays? If they are to be compelled to leave their families, who will be compelling them to do so? The clubs? The @premierleague? The @FA?

@UEFA? @FIFAcom? What if a player doesn’t want to leave their family alone during a global pandemic that is killing thousands? Will club owners and league executives stand in solidarity with these players and check themselves in to a Travelodge in the midlands away from their

families and homes? What will the punishment be for players or staff who refuse? What will be the punishment for players who break quarantine to see their loved ones? Will the staff at all of these hotels be forced to quarantine also? What about stewards? Ball boys? Broadcast

teams? Journalists covering the games? What happens if one of these people break quarantine? Who pays for all of the hotels, the logistics, the security? Will medical personnel be removed from hospitals or clinics just so there can be the requisite amount of ambulances at games?

What happens if fans congregate at stadiums? Team hotels? Training grounds? Will the government write legislation to criminalise this? I have a 7 month old son, a wife with chronic asthma, father in law living with advanced prostate cancer and a grandmother in a care home.

My situation is not unique, imagine how many people in football are similar. I’m sure people in football have been directly affected by friends or family losing their lives to this virus. How do you tell them that this pandemic is not so serious that drawing a line under the

season isn’t feasible? That it would cost the league hundreds of millions? That it’s important the season is finished? That sponsors and broadcasters demands are more important than their safety? Imagine the lawsuits and outrage if arbitrary, unfair decisions are made.

You can’t declare Liverpool champions and deny Leeds promotion. You can’t decide that Villa be relegated with a game in hand. You can’t decide that Spurs deserve to be in CL next season due to PPG even though they have been demonstratively worse than Leicester over 29 games.

This would completely remove any credibility from the league, the organisers and football in general.

What if, due to the season being completed, a player or manager or one of their families contracts the virus because of this. What if they die? What happens then? There is a lot of talk about why Cheltenham and the Liverpool-Atlético were allowed to go on. And rightly so.

That they were allowed to be held was a piss poor decision and one that will be scrutinised with vigour once this pandemic has passed. If matches are held and a single person loses their life or good health as a result, football, it’s decision makers and the journalists &

politicians championing this will have blood on their hands. If this happens, professional football should be forever relegated to the bin. Not just this season. For good. @ManCity @9320pod
