Football fans around the world are baffled that the Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 will resume their seasons behind closed doors, amid Serie A and La Liga’s decision to suspend football imminently.





Chris Wilder

Asked in a press conference whether the Premier League should be postponed, the Sheffield United manager said:

“Yes I would. For me the game is nothing without the supporters. We all do it for a reason and that’s the buzz and the excitement that the supporters bring.”

“A delay and for the season to be extended would be my preferred choice.”


Pep Guardiola

Another manager in favour of postponing the Premier League is Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola.

The Spaniard said:

"Does football work without spectators?"

"If the people can't come, there is no sense. We will follow what we have to do, but I wouldn't like to do it without the people."


It is expected that more suspensions will occur within the coming weeks, with leagues investigating the possibility of postponing and continuing the season in the summer.
