minded under the breaking news, and that is that all English football has been suspended until at least the 30th of April.

Adverbs of degree

But all the organizations, definitely in order to achieve those aims, are chief reporter Brian Swanson joins us on set now, Brian, good to see you again this afternoon.

So what is What are the key messages to come out of today's meeting?

The further suspension off English football is no big surprise.

It cannot continue at the moment as the Corona virus pandemic spreads.

The significance of today is the decision over the football associations boards on their agreement, in their words, to extend indefinitely the time limits to the end off the season.

Under the FAA, rules and regulations this season shall terminate no later than the first of June.

Officials have basically effectively agreed not to enforce that date.

In summary, football has given itself Maur time.

In these extraordinary circumstances, there is a clear determination within the game to finish the season before considering the start of next season.

The statement does, except that the progress off Corona virus, the spread of Peru krone virus, remains unclear on what English people is trying to do is to bring a degree of clarity to clubs in what is still a hugely volatile and unpredictable landscape.

A revised resumption at the end off April no still seems ambitious.

There would be a likely hear that not may well change in a couple of weeks.

A European football ultimately wants to have all of its commitments fulfilled by the end of June.

But that date, Joel remember, remains flexible, particularly for fever.

Working Group agrees to relax the rules on player contracts on registrations.

This is still a fluid environment with plenty of opinions and ideas.

But ultimately, public health has and will always remain the top priority because the game wanted to re emphasize that in their statements saying that our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by Corona virus.

I think that that was that sentence was at the beginning and the end of the statement wasn't it abroad.

As you rightly say, April the 30th ese is the is the next marker if you like.

So what do we think is the best case scenario?

There are still so many unknowns, such as When will Corona virus peak in England?

At the moments, so long as this continues to spread, the game cannot go on, and that's where we've reached the place now.

But what they're trying to do is have some sort of framework toe work towards.

So, yes, there is a likelihood that the new date will be suspended further still.

But they're a least trying to model things if they go ahead with starts off May, for instance.

Ultimately, this is all going to depend on public health and ultimately, fundamentally, it is driven by the governments that is, ho football makes its decisions.

They will be guided by what the government advice is at the time.

They know that they cannot stretch emergency service's for games and the moments that is completely unworkable.

The except that they say that, but they are thinking beyond their thinking.

Longer term, they're thinking what will happen when this pandemic eventually slows down and we all begin to get back to some degree of normal life.

They're trying to bring reassurance to the game in what is still a hugely uncertain environment.

I mean, it's very early days as well, we know, But will this bring a degree of clarity to clubs in that they now know they're preparing for the culmination of a season rather than the start off another season?

I think the significance of the Football Association board decision is that it puts in writing this commitment to try to extend the season.

They are not enforcing their own rules and regulations.

They appreciate that This is an extraordinary set of circumstances we've had a number of people have contacted us about the proposed date of the 30th of June for clarity.

That is, when European football would like to end the season that is still not set in stone.

There are a lot of variables at play here.

Different countries are experiencing difference and issues surrounding the cruel a virus pandemic on at the moment.

It's very hard to give concrete dates at such an uncertain time, but what they are doing is clearly showing there is a collective will within the game to finish the season.

From an integrity point of view, everyone feels that that is the most important thing.

It is the cleanest thing in the Premier League.

For instance, of all, 38 games are fulfilled.

It makes and removes any potential legal challenges that may come.

Thegame understands that at times like these, they will always be second to public health.

But they are trying to do what they can to give some clubs a degree of reassurance that they want to end this season.
