Fundamentally football at the bottom without fans isn't viable. The meagre amounts of TV money beyond the Championship won't cover the costs (wages, stadium maintenance).

If we don't have the infrastructure to deal with the virus (mass testing, contact tracing) then fundamentally these things will never return until there is a vaccine. By then it will likely be too late.

Beyond football other sports - rugby and boxing - face the same crisis.
