And on the back of that, I think someone is going to lose out on something because that's the only way it can possibly happen.

Well, I said before about something having to give.

I said, I think the first time I spoke on the subject with Gary at his hotel, and I actually mentioned about cup competitions would be more at risk than actual leagues because leagues finishing actually impact more next season than actually a cup competition.

More often than not, a cup competition means obviously the winners, but whatever level you're at in a cup competition, everybody's equal.

So with the Champions League,

I don't think there's any way if any league starts anywhere in Europe, you can have Champions League games in the middle of that because these games will be so spaced together to try and get the season done, whether it's over three or four weeks, that it's almost as if Europe will have to have its own situation.

Now,

With the season actually moving on a month or two, everything's going to get pushed back.

So when they're talking about August, that would not be the start of next season.

So August would almost feel like the summertime or maybe the end of the season when you would have a tournament.

And it almost feels like maybe the European competitions becomes like a tournament for those sides in that space.

So yes, I think these are things that they have to put in place.

But again,

That's something that they're thinking.

If everything works with the leagues in Europe, then we can do the Champions League separate.

I actually think that's a really good idea because I think it'd be very difficult, certainly, if there is a...

These lockdowns are lifted to then actually say you're going to different countries, to play in different countries.

I think there would be a fear there from players, even families, about going to different countries, certainly ones that have been as badly affected as we have also.

So I think that is sensible.

But as I said, the longer this goes on and the more things get pushed back,
