I think it does to a degree.
Obviously, every club is different and
You know, like you say, if you look to your Liverpools, your Chelsea's, where they have, you know, teams in the men's Premier League, then it definitely is doable.
But then you've got to think about teams like Birmingham and Reading, where their men's side obviously isn't in the top flight.
And can they afford to be then, like I say, giving the money for, you know, the testing and the protocols that we needed?
And if they can't, obviously it's got to be a whole league that can continue it for every team to do it.
So I think, again, that's where maybe the problem lies to a degree.
Yeah, it is hard.
And I think the word that I always come back to is limbo.
And I really don't envy the FA and these decisions that they've got to make.
But from a player's perspective, when I was at Liverpool and then when I left, it's hard because you're constantly waiting for a message on the WhatsApp group or to go on a Zoom call with the staff to know what's going on.
And I think for me now, obviously, it's difficult.
I think the main...
One of the main motivations behind my decision was in terms of my safety.
If the league was to continue, we were asked to sign a temporary contract to go to the end of the league if it was to continue those players out of contract.
And for me, the overreaching feeling that I had is if in that period, if I got injured, where does that leave me?
In terms of, you know, with no medical care, without a club, obviously if you are injured and it's quite serious, then the likelihood of me...
getting a club would be hard.
So that was a decision that I came to for myself.
Obviously, now then it is difficult again because clubs are waiting to know where they stand.
