DBasia.news – Manchester United CEO, Ed Woodward hopes the Premier League will be completed and there are teams that are relegated for financial gain.
All Premier League clubs will hold virtual meetings on Thursday (4/6). The meeting discusses the options to be taken if this season cannot be completed.
The desire of all clubs is unanimous namely completing the competition to the end. However, due to the corona virus pandemic that hasn’t really subsided in Britain, the question arises as to what to do if the competition stops again.
The FA has decided there must be a winning club, promotion and relegation in all divisions. Reportedly, the decision was opposed by a number of lower-class clubs who did not want to go down caste through the accumulation of points when the league is dismissed.
Ed Woodward who heard the issue, opened up on the matter. According to the officials, the action could actually be a disaster.
Ed Woodward warned about problems that could come if there were unclear competition situations. Ed Woodward highlighted the club’s income from broadcasting rights. If the competition is not held, the club must return the funds given.
The match that will reopen the Premier League is a duel against Manchester City against Arsenal and Aston Villa against Sheffield United. Both matches will be held on Wednesday (6/17). Meanwhile, Manchester United will likely face Tottenham Hotspur on Friday (19/6).
