Apologies - took it in the other sense.

However Sky/BT are likely the driving force behind the league resuming - that's the money that makes empty stadiums viable unlike in smaller leagues like Netherlands/Scotland etc. where it's financially beneficial to just call the season - allow players to leave at the end of the season and work out where/when to start next season.

Not really one for here but not worth me starting a new thread I think Scotland should explore summer football. The reason given has, to date, always been that clubs couldn't survive May-February with no income. For the lower leagues they may not have a choice!
