Neville "a lot less confident" about Premier League season being finished


Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville says he's now unsure if the Premier League season will be completed.

Representatives from the 20 clubs in England's top flight decided yesterday that games would get back underway "when medical guidance allows".

Neville says he's "a lot less confident" that the campaign can be finished then he was last month:

"Where we were five or six weeks ago when we weren't doing shows virtually, I was 99 per cent confident about football being completed this season and I was confident about all competitions, whether it be behind closed doors or in other circumstances," Neville told Sky Sports' The Football Show.

"That's having been part of the League Two owners' discussions over the last few weeks, seeing the complexities and seeing the challenges that the PFA have got with contracts.

"Also, seeing the issues of starting behind closed doors and then a player gets it again and they have to go into quarantine again and the challenges that exist with fans travelling to potentially Istanbul. Our fans are so loyal they will try and get there somehow.

"The reality of it is I am a lot less confident of football finishing [the season] than I was five or six weeks ago, now we are getting to the crux of the matter and these types of decisions are having to be made."
