They'll last long enough for the league to come back. They've still received their TV money and commercial money which is massively more than gate receipts. Clubs in the EFL rely on match day attendance. The Premier League could run behind closed doors for a year and make minimal losses. Add in the ability for top flight clubs being able to make losses and take on hundreds of millions of debt.
All of this is the same reason we were able to hand out 10,000 free season tickets. The loss was a drop in the ocean. As I'm more familiar with Newcastle's accounts, just 5% of the clubs revenue comes from match day sources per season.

This fairly much explains all.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
Frankly UEFA are living in a world of delusion having committed to ending all domestic seasons by June 30, according to a statement released by UEFA.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
Premier League clubs have reportedly hatched a plan to save the season amid the coronavirus pandemic - by playing all remaining games behind closed doors and at neutral venues.

All games would also be shown live on TV in a bid to provide fans with their football fix and appease broadcasters who have paid huge sums to show Premier League football.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
The 2019/20 football season is extended indefinitely.

They have extended the season "indefinitely", rules had stated the domestic season should be finished by June 1.
It appears the FA, Premier League, EFL and women’s professional game are fully committed to ending the season.

I guess we will see how things stand in April as to whether further measures are required - and how it will affect players contract renewals etc

l think they made the one and only decision they could make in the current climate but obviously closer to the 30th of April they will perhap have a better idea of where we are.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
It'll just continue onwards behind closed doors with players and staff required under some fairly strict isolation rules. Allowing some EFL teams to tap into emergency funding from the government will ease off the financial burden of no gate receipts. As per my previous post, Premier League sides will last just fine without them.
As for Sky and Co, rights packages are loss leaders anyway. To ensure the future, some sacrifices now are key to survival for a lot.

Methinks Southampton's chief executive is extremely optimistic.

Not so good for one team who had won 27 on the trot and were 20 points clear.

They will be well and truly disappointed with that outcome.
