Well, hopefully we'll have some details about that in the next 25 minutes, 30 minutes or so.
Because Brian, it feels like this is an important week for Project Restart, as it's been labelled.
We had a meeting on Friday with Premier League clubs and it feels like the next few days could be quite important as well in terms of what the government may or may not decide to do with lockdown measures later this week.
So can you just bring us up to speed, Brian, with where we are at the moment?
Sketching out at the moment, what's it looking like?
What would a Premier League return currently look like?
Yeah, Brian, we obviously saw some quotes from Sergio Aguero recently where he said about players that he'd spoken to had felt scared about a potential return.
And Carvey mentions it there that players potentially would be allowed not to play if they didn't think it was safe.
But is that realistic that a player...
would not be put under pressure or not feel pressure to play even against his wishes, given the importance that is still riding on a lot of these matches in terms of the money that teams can generate from qualifying for the Champions League or not being relegated from the Premier League, for instance.
Kaveh, let me throw another complicated question at you.
Say we do get up and running again and after a couple of matches we find out that a player at a certain club has contracted the virus.
So what do we do?
Is that entire team then suspended from competition again?
What happens to the opponents they've played?
How do we fulfil the fixture list when we have to take a club out of action for two weeks because one of their staff members or players or managers has got the coronavirus?
Brian, you've been speaking to people at Premier League clubs.
How do you gauge the mood among the 20 teams?
Are they all eager to get playing again?
How do they feel about this plan?
