And if you look at some of those remaining games, in particular potential semi-finals and then a final,

Wembley could be key to that.

So there's still an awful lot that needs to be discussed and decided.

But I do think that the police will be extremely aware of the potential of supporters around grounds, like it or not.

I think it's important to take a step back and see players as employees.

Players are like us.

They're employed by companies and companies have to follow health and safety regulations.

They have a duty of care.

to make sure that their employees are safe.

And if an employee doesn't feel safe, then they can't be forced to go against their wishes and undertake work that they just don't feel comfortable doing.

So I think what's going to happen in the coming weeks is that those clubs will, they need the players to be involved.

They need the players to absolutely agree to this because without the players, you have no games, we have nothing.

So there has to be absolute buy-in here.

And that's why we saw in the last statement that was issued by the Premier League a specific mention of the players and the LMA, the League Managers Association, because they know that they have to make it work for them.

It wants to avoid having a very different approach across a number of leagues.

They need to be united more than ever.

What is clear is that there is a difference of opinion about the best way to return, in particular on the issue of neutral venues.

It is an emotive one because it strikes at the heart of the very notion of home and away games.

But something has to give.

Compromises must be made.
