EFL Statement


Recommended Posts

The health and well-being of EFL staff, players, Club employees and supporters is of paramount importance and will be key to the decisions made by football during what is clearly an unprecedented situation facing our game.
 

It is with that in the forefront of the League’s mind that it notes the intense speculation that has appeared across the local, national and international media over the weekend.

 

Whilst the League and its Board understand there is a strong desire from both the media and general public to understand what may happen next, there have, at this current time, been no decisions taken.

 

The League also feels it inappropriate to respond to the many hypothetical solutions being suggested whilst the many unknowns remain.

 

Given the fast paced environment and parameters we are currently working within, it is simply not practical to give a running commentary on what may happen.

 

 

In the immediate short term we will continue with our contingency planning to deal with the implications the outbreak of Covid-19 has presented the EFL and its Clubs, in addition to liaising with the Government, health authorities and football partners.

 

A further update will be given once the EFL Board has met this week.

 

In the meantime, we wish the football and wider community well and urge all to follow the guidance from the Government provided by Public Health England if presented with any symptoms - https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-government-response

 

EFL Chair, Rick Parry, said: “These are indeed challenging times for the League, its Clubs and the game as a whole. However, now is the time for cool heads and calm reflection, rather than speculation as we look to steer our competitions and Clubs through this period of uncertainty.”

I dont get why people want answers every day to how football will continue.
Surely everyone must appreciate that no one can predict where the country will be in two weeks or a months time.

 

Well I don't want to panic people but I've heard it's all over, finished, never to played again, make of that what you will,

 

I'm taking it with a pinch of salt, (if I can get it through this mask).

I totally agree but what's going to happen with our remaining fixtures?

Totally agree.. I don’t know how people find the time. All of my attention is focused on obtaining a lifetimes supply of bog roll in case the worst is to happen
