that, whether it would be the FA Cup next season or the Carabao Cup maybe comes out and you push the European competitions into August or September and you start next season, October.
But as I said, we're just getting to that stage, as I said before, where something has to give and someone has to lose something.
But of course, I do think the Champions League is going to be really difficult in a normal format that we've had before.
So whether it's a tournament, I think that could work really well.
Well, I mean, Pochettino, obviously, we all loved him when he was in the job, done a great job.
And when managers go in, I mean, just signed a big contract, so I'm sure there was a big payoff involved.
And rightly so, that's the name of the game.
Daniel Levy knows that.
There is going to be cuts right across football, there's no doubt.
I think we're still having problems with Premier League players at this moment.
We're reading reports this morning of clubs finding it difficult.
So I don't think it's going to change, certainly, with an...
a manager who you've sacked so if you find it difficult to maybe get Harry Kane and the players in that dressing room to defer wages or have wages cut and they're ones that you're working with day in day out if Pochettino was in Argentina with his family I think he'd just be switching his phone off and ignoring Daniel Levy because I think it's going to certainly be a lot more difficult with a manager who you've sacked than certainly than what it is with players in your own dressing room
Brendan, I know, obviously working with you and know your team, sports science team as well.
I mean, there's been a lot of talk of with the players being off for so long, it's almost near the pre-season as well, but it seems that everybody involved is doing, as you said,
the work from home, maybe at times maybe getting together in the future after this lockdown.
But how much sort of pre-season or build-up to maybe if the games do start, do you think the players will need on the back that they've almost had a full season and they're still keeping in a decent nick right now?
Brendan, a lot's being made in the league and we're talking about the actual Premier League of people are talking about teams maybe going down and a lot of people are talking about actually Liverpool's situation as well.
But probably your situation that you're in, being in a Champions League position, a great season, you're probably as affected by anyone in this situation at the moment.
And if the league does restart, obviously it gives you a great opportunity then to fulfil that.
