Get the Pools Panel in. They've not had much to do recently.
The pools panel still meets, they said we beat Watford.

Premier League 'in danger of £3billion contract breach' if season not completed
Amid the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, there remains uncertainty over both when, and if, the Premier League season will be concluded
www.mirror.co.uk
‘’The Premier League are said to be determined to see out the current season amid fears of a potentially disastrous breach of their £3billion television contract.
The English top-flight could face a race against time in order to complete the season by July 31, before the 2020/21 season’s television contract kicks in on August 1.
Contracts signed between the Premier League and UK broadcasters Sky Sports and BT Sport, as well as the many outlets from all over the world who screen the division’s matches, are one of the cornerstones of the Premier League’s success.
But with the coronavirus crisis threatening the very structure of league football all around the world, it is unclear just when the remaining 2019/20 season matches will be played.’’
Won't happen in April. There will be too many players and club staff self isolating.

I wonder if Premier League clubs will be okay if they don't get the final position money this season and if the premier League has to repay some of the TV money it might reduce payments to clubs for the next couple of years.
