Wed.

Hopefully the virus has passed through and football returns.

It will be, you know, heightened joy.

But you know that was picking up the league where it Waas or the Champions League games resuming.

And that's well trying to cling onto the excitement that comes with it resuming at the right time because we all know how much we enjoy it.

We miss it.

Weekends are governed by football, always has been all my life.

But right now it isn't about that the day that it comes.

But we can go.

Yes, we can watch football again.

Fantastic.

That's what we all want.

That's what we'll walk working towards, but right now, which is guided by the government by people that know more than we do by experts.

There's a lot of experts out there right now and I just hope they're giving us the right advice because if they are then hopefully six months time, we can maybe start to have major tortures, major competitions.

But right now it's just about people's safety and making sure that the environment is there for them to enjoy it.

I mentioned it before.

I would go back to it about smaller clubs and I love that he was in with the conversation age.

I think that this is so important now that the probably cubs are gonna be fine.

They're all gonna be fine once this is all past.

My worries about the smaller clubs that lead to, you know, even the clubs that I had to work so hard to be in the league.

We've got to make sure that we make those teams or clubs.

We give him all the financial help we can and that will come from the primary there.

So much money in the Premier League.

And somehow it's got filtered down to make sure we keep these clubs a lot because it is important for the communities that have the smaller clubs.

That's where people enjoy going to watch football.

And I hope that we're going to set aside seven.

It's not all about the big players.

And then there's a lot of football is a lot of money reference.

You referenced the solidarity there, Chef Geoffrey in the U.

S.

President.

He rent reference solidarity in his words.

Today I think as an industry, we've all got to come together in that regard, right?

Help you think this is such an important point?

You make there, Jimmy about that.

Football clubs are the social fabric of our towns and cities.

People live and live for that.

Every week.

They want to go and watch.

Take that away.

And it has a huge knock on effect for the well being of the town pubs around the club, every local supplies.

What's the people supply the pies for the everything?

That's a knock on effect.

Football clubs outside of the elite are living on a really tight cash flow versus take two games away from them.

And that's what a massive impact that's ordinarily, Adrian.

Yeah, never mind in this scenario there.

Only two or three games away from going to the wall.

Half of them was right now, Jack, we can't guarantee where foot wouldn't be played, but what someone could do is come out and make a statement is when we can play.

We're going to make sure we could do everything in our power to make sure all the smaller cubs of lost Bart's amounts of money in this period are gonna be given money to make sure that I keep the club's alive, that all the people that does it isn't.

That's a commitment the Premier League clubs are meeting on Thursday.

ADFL clubs are meeting tomorrow and then they'll take Yeah, they'll take their lead.

How important do you think is there that when the primal league speak on Thursday that they make some sort of pledge or will will the silence be deafening if they don't?

I'm not convinced that the Premier League will make huge statements on Thursday.

I've gotta be honest with you.

I think that will be more of them setting the ball rolling of the planning.

And I think you know, to be fair, it's also gonna be the Premier League in conjunction with the FAA on with the E E.

Eh, fellas?

Well, because that on it might be the They've gotta look atyou, Efren, that I mean, I've heard discussions about maybe government support for the smaller clubs.

I think that's a big ask at the moment.

With the situation that we're in with society as a whole and the n H s and everything like that, people's business is going out of people understand football clubs of businesses.

But I think when you're dealing with an industry that is a multi £1,000,000,000 industry in reality and you've got people will be others within, people will be set.

People will naturally say there is money in football to support suppose.

However, you know, we have seen some very badly run clubs that you could have loaned money to clubs previously given money, clothes and they would still run themselves in the ground.

We've seen that in recent weeks and months, so I think that these again unique circumstances.

But this is part of the discussion that's gotta take place over the next few days and weeks about how can we do everything we can a za national footballing organization to support the clubs that are there and protect their well being.

But again, it's not just not not easy, is it?

There's gonna be except me.
