Uefa to hold meeting on 17 March


Uefa statement on coronavirus: "In the light of the ongoing developments in the spread of COVID-19 across Europe and the changing analysis of the World Health Organisation, UEFA has today invited representatives of its 55 member associations, together with the boards of the European Club Association and the European Leagues and a representative of FIFPro, to attend meetings by videoconference on Tuesday 17 March to discuss European football’s response to the outbreak.

"Discussions will include all domestic and European competitions, including UEFA EURO 2020.

"Further communication will be made following those meetings."

17th of March?!! Why not tonight or tomorrow?! Seems they want assurances from the money men! UEFA run like a fucking chippy.
 
They're in a serious dilemma. The dippers are so close to clinching the title. They''ll probably force teams to play behind closed doors until this happens and then decide to postpone the PL. You just know it's going to happen. It'll still be tainted though. Leeds fans must be nervous. They may have to go all over again in August.

He was totally correct. 3,000 Madrid fans drinking and socialising in Liverpool, as he said some would be infected.

They should ban all travel between countries in and out until it is on top of, but again cash is king.

Plus another 25,000 Liverpool fans from overseas. John Ashton is one of the most respected people in Europe in the public health field. The Government will have blood on their hands if they ignore his advice. Can you imagine the legal repurcussions if just one person dies and the infection is traced back to that game last night. How stupid can any government be?

The FA and the Premier League aren't covering themselves in any glory here, at a time when other leagues in Europe are acting decisively.

Unfortunately money is king and its blinding those in authority from doing the right thing. The dithering and inactivity in the UK both from Government and other authorities will be judged very harshly if this virus spreads rapidly and we are judged to have been complicit and not acted quickly enough.
