Premier League clubs in 'total agreement' over plans to finish season

Premier League clubs are adamant that they would like to play out the rest of the current season rather than it be cancelled or ended at its current stage
Premier League clubs are all in total agreement that the season needs to be completed amid the Corona Virus pandemic.

That is according to Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson, who claims it is important for the current campaign to end without "artificial" methods of determining places.
The league has been suspended since March 13 due to COVID-19 with Liverpool 25 points clear at the top.
Premier League action will not return until April 30 at the very earliest due to fears about resuming games to soon.
However, it's understood matches are more likely to return in the summer - and behind closed doors.
Jurgen klopp side need just two more wins to be certain of their first league title in 30 years and Hodgson is adamant the campaign must only finish once all games have been played.
In a message to supporters on Palace's official website, Hodgson said: "Everyone is in total agreement we need an end to this season. We don't want artificial means of deciding who wins the league, who gets into the Champions League, who gets relegated and promoted.
"Ideally our players would have three or four weeks' minimum to prepare for the first match back, but I accept there may have to be a squeeze on that timeframe.
It might mean extra restrictions at our place of work - the training ground - for example. It may also mean that we have to play our nine remaining matches in a shorter period of time than we normally would have done, and subsequently receive a shorter break between the seasons.
"But I think with all of these sacrifices - and I am uncomfortable using that word in such a context - everyone will be more than happy to go along with what it takes in order to get playing again as soon as possible in order to get the season finished."
There had been some claims that the season would be declared null and void or that it would end with the positions staying as they are now should no more games be played
That would see Liverpool win their first Premier League title, while Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich would be relegated.
Chelsea would finish in the top four along with Leicester, with Manchester United, Sheffield United and Tottenham missing out.
But as long as all Premier League clubs are in agreement over what needs to happen it seems unlikely that the season will not be completed one way or another.

James Maddison transfer to Arsenal is almost done

VHouse report that an Arsenal-appointed broker has started to hold back-channel talks with Leicester City over a possible deal for James Maddison. Leicester don’t consider Maddison unsellable, but they’ll only let him go if the price is right. Part of the problem is that Norwich City are due to profit from Maddison’s sale, with the suggestion they’re owed 10-15% of the fee. So with that in mind, Leicester are likely to hold out for more than they might without such a clause. Arsenal are open to reaching a compromise with Leicester, but will turn to other options if Leicester insist on an ‘astronomical amount’. Arsenal are unwilling to overspend on one player when they have other business still to do. This is at least a slightly more optimistic assessment of the situation than we recently heard from the likes David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano. They both suggested a deal would be very unlikely given it would be a huge stretch of the club’s finances. TheAFCBell’s report doesn’t exa...

Man City Champions League ban: CAS clear Pep Guardiola's club from suspension

XTRATAINIC Manchester City have been cleared to play in the Champions league next season  after the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned their two-year ban from European competitions. On a day that will have far-reaching consequences for European football, governing body UEFA  suffered a historic defeat which could irreparably damage their flagship Financial Fair Play regulations. City will still pay a €10m (£11.4m) fine – down from an initial €30m – for failing to co-operate with Uefa’s investigation, but crucially CAS judged that City “did not disguise equity funding as sponsorship contributions” and that the alleged breaches of FFP rules were “either not established or time-barred”. City denied any wrongdoing throughout the process and insisted that they would be vindicated by CAS. In a statement, the club said: “Whilst Manchester City and its legal advisors are yet to review the full ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the club welcomes th...
