As good a solution to finishing the Premier League season as we have heard.ย
-finish this season in a short time frame when safe
-condense next season if needed
-open transfer window from May and run it all the way through 20/21 to give clubs agility
-extend player contracts to complete 19/20
-financial packages for clubs in need inc non-league— Gary Neville (@GNev2) March 28, 2020
